Hello,

I am looking at the Pololu G2 High-Power Motor Driver 24v21, however the webpage makes no mention of what flyback diodes are required or if these are already fitted to the board. I would appreciate some advice.

Thank you.

Hello.

The MOSFETs used in the H-bridge of the G2 High-Power Motor Drivers have built-in body diodes that act as flyback diodes, so there is no need to add external diodes.

Many thanks Brandon. It would be perhaps be nice if such notes could be included on the webpage of the product.

All the best.
