PCA9685 16-Channel I2C PWM/Servo Driver Board - Solderless Clone

Adafruit PCA9685 16-Channel I2C PWM/Servo Driver Board is the clone version of the product. As Robotistan, we always recommend using original products.

With this board, you can add 16 extra PWM outputs to your Arduino or other microcontrollers. This allows you to easily implement applications that require a large number of LEDs or servo motors.

The board features 12-bit resolution and operates at both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. It uses the I2C interface, which helps reduce the number of pins used on your microcontroller. Thanks to the 6 address-select solder jumpers on the board, you can use up to 62 of these boards on a single I2C line. It also includes output arrangements compatible with standard servo connectors. Connection pins located on both ends of the board allow you to chain multiple boards or mount them in the most suitable configuration for your project. The terminal block on the board enables you to supply external power through the V+ line, and reverse polarity protection is included.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions (excluding terminal block and headers): 62.5 mm x 25.4 mm x 3 mm
• Weight: 5.5 g (without terminal block and headers), 9 g (with terminal block and headers)
• I2C address: selectable between 0x60 - 0x80
• 12-bit resolution, 60 Hz update frequency
• Adjustable PWM frequency up to 1.6 kHz
• Push-pull or open-drain output options
• Output Enable pin for enabling/disabling all outputs
• 220 Ω series resistors on outputs to simplify LED driving
• Green power-indicator LED showing adequate power supply

Compatible Products:

• 1000 uF 10 V Electrolytic Capacitor
