Pololu RC Switch with Medium Low-Side MOSFET

The Pololu RC Switch with Medium Low-Side MOSFET is a compact and versatile module designed to interface standard hobby radio control (RC) systems with various electronic loads. It converts RC pulses into digital on/off signals, enabling control over devices like LEDs, motors, and relays.

Key Features

• Integrated Medium Low-Side MOSFET: Capable of switching loads up to approximately 15 A, suitable for moderate power applications.

• Configurable Activation Threshold: Default threshold is around 1700 μs, with a learning mode to adjust the threshold and activation direction.

• Safe-Start Feature: Minimizes the risk of unintended activation upon startup.

• Wide Operating Voltage: Operates between 2.5 V and 16 V, thanks to an onboard linear regulator.

• Signal Indicators: Includes outputs to indicate the presence of a valid RC signal and the on/off state of the switch.

• Flyback Diode: Protects against voltage spikes when driving inductive loads like motors or relays.

Specifications

• Dimensions: 0.6″ × 0.825″ (15.2 mm × 21 mm)

• Weight: Approximately 1.2 g (without headers)

• Maximum Output Current: Up to 15 A (with VCC at 5 V

• Load Supply Voltage: Supports up to 30 V
