9.1.1.2.2.1 Motor Voltage

The motor voltage used in an application depends on the rating of the selected motor and the desired revolutions per minute (RPM). A higher voltage spins a brushed DC motor faster with the same PWM duty cycle applied to the power FETs. A higher voltage also increases the rate of current change through the inductive motor windings.
