We have a project that will require a small DC motor to be operated ~400ms forward, then ~400ms reverse. We'll be using a MSP430 similar to the DRV8838EVM design. We have 2 questions:
- Do we need any extra filtering or other concerns since the motor will be switching direction so frequently?
- The design will be battery operated. Would the DRV8834 be a better choice since the motor current draw can be limited? The cost of the DRV8834 is ~2X so we prefer to use the DRV8838, especially since our application only requires 1 motor.
Thanks,
George
