Hello,
Apologies for the delayed response on this issue.
Yes, when the MP9518 is configured as an H-Bridge, it can drive Brushed DC motors bidirectionally.
Also, the IC also includes a linear hall sensor which allows the MCU that you include such that you can continuously monitor current. The linear hall sensor is also useful for detecting overcurrent conditions dynamically if that was something you were interested in implementing as well.
Best,
Krishan
