This Raspberry Pi HAT is a specialised power management accessory designed for efficient motor control applications. Built with the TLE94112ES half-bridge driver, this HAT facilitates connection through the GPIO power pins of the Raspberry Pi, allowing users to manage multiple DC motors seamlessly. The innovative design complies with the Raspberry Pi HAT specifications, ensuring compatibility across various Raspberry Pi models.

• Integrated reverse polarity protection for safe operation
• Active thermal management with embedded temperature protection
• Customisable SPI interface for expanded system integration
• EEPROM provision for easy driver loading and settings
• Compactly connects via the Raspberry Pi's 40-pin GPIO header

• Utilised in robotics for precise movement control
• Ideal for automation projects requiring dynamic motor management
• Used in DIY electronics projects for students and hobbyists
• Suitable for commercial systems where power efficiency is crucial
• Great for prototypes in automotive and aircraft systems

By utilising different GPIO pins for each HAT's CS lines, you can control multiple units simultaneously. Ensure to adjust the jumpers accordingly for each connected HAT, facilitating greater motor management capabilities.

Each half-bridge within the unit can deliver a peak current of up to 0.9A, supporting steady operation for motors requiring up to 500mA under normal conditions when certain configurations are applied.

Yes, the HAT can supply power to the Raspberry Pi with a maximum output of 2.5A via the integrated DC/DC converter, allowing for a streamlined power solution without the need for an external supply.
