9.2.1.2.1 Supply Voltage

The appropriate supply voltage depends on the ratings of the load (motor, solenoid, relay, etc.). In the case of a brushed DC motor, the supply voltage will impact the desired 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 windings of a motor, solenoid, or relay.
