Hi, I'm working on my project and it involves driving a servo motor using an MCB900 board. Is it possible to directly connect the servo motor to one of the ports or do I have to use an interface like an amplifier. Your response will be appreciated. Ade
is that not a motorola chip? if so - wrong forum If not - please provide a link Erik

I missed that one, a distributor even gave me one of the MCB900s. Is it possible to directly connect the servo motor to one of the ports or do I have to use an interface like an amplifier. The answer is 99% NO and for the last 1% risky. There are strong EMF forces involved in driving a motor and no uC I know of is designed to withstand that. Also is this a 3V motor? haven't seen many of those. For motor drivers I would check Allegro semiconductors, that is their specialty. Erik
Hi Erik, The MCB900 board is an 8051 microcontroller board basically used for training. The servo motor requires a voltage of 4.8v to 6v to drive it. Also, if I may ask, what is the output voltage of the 8051 ports.
