H-Bridge Motor Driver 1A - SN754410

Faster, cheaper, smaller, better, right? The SN754410 Quad Half H-Bridge is just that. Capable of driving high
voltage motors using TTL 5V logic levels, the SN754410 can drive 4.5V up to 36V at 1A continuous output
current!

For even higher current applications, it is possible to physically stack two devices on top of each other to get
almost 2 A of drive current.

The SN754410 is a quad half H-bridge IC. This allows the chip to either control 4 motors in one direction using
the 4 half H-bridges or to control 2 motors in both directions using a full H-bridge for each motor.

The following shows the connections for controlling 2 motors in either direction using 2 full H-bridges.

Pin Name H-Bridge Function Notes

Setting this pint o 0V (LOW) will turn off the motor, setting it to
1 1,2EN Motor 1 Enable 5V (HIGH) will enable the motor. Connect this pin to the 5V
supply, or use as an emergency shutoff.
Set this pin to 5V (HIGH) to turn Motor1 in one direction.
2 1A Motor 1 Forward
Motor Speed can be controlled by using PWM into this pin
3 1Y Motor 1 Power Connect to one pin of Motor1
4 Ground Ground Connect to ground - required for heat sinking
5 Ground Ground Connect to ground - required for heat sinking
6 2Y Motor 1 Power Connect to other pin of Motor1
Set this pin to 5V (HIGH) to turn Motor1 in the opposite
7 2A Motor 1 Reverse direction. Motor Speed can be controlled by using PWM into
this pin
Positive power source for your motors. (i.e. connect to battery

Setting this pint o 0V (LOW) will turn off the motor, setting it to
9 3,4EN Motor 2 Enable 5V (HIGH) will enable the motor. Connect this pin to the 5V
supply, or use as an emergency shutoff.
Set this pin to 5V (HIGH) to turn Motor2 in one direction.
10 3A Motor 2 Forward
Motor Speed can be controlled by using PWM into this pin
11 3Y Motor 2 Power Connect to one pin of Motor2
12 Ground Ground Connect to ground - required for heat sinking
13 Ground Ground Connect to ground - required for heat sinking
14 4Y Motor 2 Power Connect to other pin of Motor2
Set this pin to 5V (HIGH) to turn Motor2 in the opposite
15 4A Motor 2 Reverse direction. Motor Speed can be controlled by using PWM into
this pin
