Its taken way too long, but I may have found the driver I need. Miniature board and heat sink for about $13/copy. Has a pair of Infineon BTS7960B chips on a pcb about 1.5" square, rated for up to 45 volts and 43 amps for each chip and 2 make a full H-bridge. From the looks, its not the datasheet hookup, but has a 74HCT244 in tsop style for an input buffer. Looks like it needs a ground and 5 volts, and probably an enable input, and up and down pwms, mode 2 IOW. Needless to say, no example hookups are to be had. But I'm prowling around in googles output now. Found them: <https://www.handsontec.com/dataspecs/module/BTS7960%20Motor%20Driver.pdf> Interestingly, this one is stated to only be good till 27 volts, not the infineon 45 volts. Bridge chips are labeled with an extra B. 2nd grade stuffs? Probably. I'll advise how it works when I get it wired up.
