The DRV 180A ESC is designed for UAV systems that require extreme current handling, precise control, and stable motor performance. Its synchronous freewheeling architecture enhances throttle linearity, reduces switching losses, and improves efficiency across high RPM ranges.
Equipped with dual-mode throttle control, isolated signal architecture, and full CAN bus compatibility, the ESC provides telemetry data, RPM feedback, fault alerts, and accurate throttle interpretation for multi-motor UAV platforms.
Short Circuit Protection: Shuts down the output when a short circuit is detected and restarts automatically after 100 ms.
Stall Protection: If the motor stalls, the ESC stops output until the throttle is reset to zero.
Voltage Protection: Prevents startup below 16V or above 64V (inactive during flight).
Temperature Protection
Throttle Loss Protection: Cuts power if the throttle signal is lost for more than 2 seconds; restores after the signal returns.
Startup Protection: If the motor fails to rotate within 10 seconds, the ESC disables output until the throttle is reset.
M_RPM = E_FRE × 60 / P
It supports 5S to 18S LiPo batteries.
Yes, it supports CAN, PWM, and provides RPM + fault outputs.
Possible reasons include throttle not at zero, low/high voltage, or signal loss.
At 125°C, output is reduced; at 140°C, the ESC shuts down until it cools to 80°C.
Yes, it includes a 5V / 200mA BEC.
Likely due to overload, incorrect propeller selection, or startup protection activation.
Yes, the ESC has full isolation between control signals and main power for enhanced safety.
