What it does

The MX1508 Mini Motor Driver is a compact dual H-bridge motor driver module designed to control two DC motors or a single 4-wire bipolar stepper motor independently. Based on the MX1508 IC with integrated N-channel and P-channel power MOSFETs, it supports forward and reverse rotation with PWM-based speed control, making it a popular, low-cost driver for small robotics and battery-powered projects.

Key features

  • Dual H-bridge driver controls two DC motors or one stepper motor
  • Supports forward, reverse, and PWM speed control
  • Compact, lightweight, ultra-small form factor
  • Built-in thermal protection circuit with hysteresis (TSD)
  • Low standby current, less than 0.1uA
  • Built-in anti-common conduction circuit for safe operation
  • Motor does not malfunction if input pins are left floating
  • Low-conduction internal resistance power MOSFETs
  • Simple 4-pin control interface compatible with microcontrollers
  • Easy integration with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi

Good to know

  • Do not exceed the rated continuous current of 1.5A per channel for extended periods to avoid triggering thermal shutdown.
  • Peak current rating is for brief bursts only; continuous operation should stay within the standard current rating.
  • Ensure correct wiring of IN1-IN4 control pins for proper direction and speed control.
  • Use a power supply within the 2V-10V motor voltage range matching your motor’s rated voltage.
  • Avoid leaving input pins floating for extended periods; connect them to a defined logic level where possible.
  • Use 100nF ceramic capacitors across motor terminals to reduce electrical noise.
  • Not recommended for driving bipolar stepper motors due to the lack of built-in current limiting.
