Shields and PMODs
Overview
At semify, we understand the challenges of real-world digital design projects. That's why we've created a range of Arduino shields and PMODs that are derived from our experience solving complex design problems. Our boards are designed and verified by our experienced team of digital design engineers, and are compatible with a variety of microcontroller systems. Explore our selection and find the right board for your next project.​
EX MotorShield8874
The EX‑MotorShield8874 is a pin compatible with the original Arduino Motor Shield Rev3 but provides significantly improved electrical performance for driving higher loads and improved useability.
​
The EX‑MotorShield8874 is based on two H-bridge motor drivers with integrated current sensing feedback to drive inductive loads like relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It is based on the DRV8874 from Texas Instruments (TI).
​
Powering of Arduino boards is possible due to the on board DCDC buck converter supporting a wide input supply range from 9 to 30V. The reverse polarity protection prevents damage to the circuit and its components in case the power supply is accidentally connected with reversed polarity.
​​
This EX‑MotorShield8874 features also a supply status LED supply, which provides a visual indication of the power supply status.

PMOD™ Intermediary - Monitoring and debugging PMOD
Our PMOD™ intermediary board is designed for monitoring and debugging purposes, allowing users to monitor all signals of a 12-pin PMOD™ connector. With this board, debugging connection problems with an existing PMOD™ extension board becomes an easy task. A green LED, which is integrated into the board, provides a quick and easy way to check the presence of the supply voltage (VCC).
​
We developed the PMOD™ intermediary board to simplify the debugging of PMOD™ peripherals. While there are similar boards available in the market, we noticed a lack of options for easily measuring the current consumption of PMOD™ peripherals.
