Can i use brushed DC motor of lower current rating to drive using TB6612FNG driver?

[haroon_tech]

hi,
i have designed a brushed DC motor driver ckt , in that driver IC is TB6612FNG used. my problem is i have Brushed DC motor of rating DC 12V, 0.58A but driver will driver the motor of following specification i.e 15v(max) and 1.2 to 3.2A(peak) . can i drive the Brushed DC MOTOR (.58A) ?
weather DC motor will spoil or not because output current of driver ic is more compare to dc motor (.58a) ?

can we drive any brushed dc motor using TB6612FNG?

you can safely use TB6612FNG IC driver for driving your brushed dc motor. it will not spoil your motor.

Problems only happen if the motor tries to draw more current than the controller can deliver.
