Pinouts
Signals have been pinned out on traditional pins (2,54 mm pitch). Nogoldpinpins are soldered to the module, they can be purchased separately.
| Pin | Description |
|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply for logic part. |
| VMOT | Power supply for motors. |
| GND | Ground. |
| A01 A02 | Channel A outputs. |
| B01 B02 | Channel B outputs. |
| PWMA | PWM signal of channel A. |
| PWMB | PWM signal of B channel. |
| STBY | Should be pulled up to VCC to turn on the system, low state (default) switches the system to sleep state (low power consumption). |
| AIN1, AIN2 | Controls the direction of channel A. |
| BIN1, BIN2 | Controls the direction of channel B. |
All logic signals are internally pulled to ground. The maximum PWM frequency is 100 kHz.

The TB6612 chip can be used as a controller forPololu micromotors. If the motors will be exposed to stalling, it is recommended to merge the channels in order to achieve higher current capacity. To do this, connect the following leads together:
- AO1 with BO1
- A02 with BO2
- PWMA with PWMB
- AIN1 with BIN1
- AIN2 with BIN2
