#150740 - Driver protection
Responding to: ???'s previous message
An H bridge driver usually only needs diode clamps to protect the output devices from inductive spikes and motor back EMF. For such a low power motor, general purpose 1A diodes should do.

An RC snubber may be needed to suppress RF emissions from resonances linked to the motor inductance. I normally start with a value of 110 ohm for the resistor and try different capacitor values whilst looking at the switching transient on an oscilloscope.

Snubber values in motor drives??            01/01/70 00:00      
   Always ask the manufacturer of motor!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Most of the manufacturers are chinese :)            01/01/70 00:00      
         Link, if the manufacturer absconds...            01/01/70 00:00

      I could, probably, figure it out, but ...            01/01/70 00:00
