By Lewis Loflin Update October 2016: note the updated pages related to this subject. Also when constructing these circuits DO NOT leave the input pins floating or unconnected to a micrcontroller. See the following for safety tips: • • • • • • • • And the following two videos: • • Also study the links below on transistor switching circuits before you attempt to build any of these devices. Permanent magnet DC motors have been around for many years and come in a variety of sizes and voltages. Their direction of rotation is dependant upon the polarity of the applied voltage. Reverse the voltage, the direction of rotation reverses.

One of the most common solid-state controls is known as the H-bridge. In figure 1 we have a very basic H-bridge using two spring-loaded, single-pole, double-throw switches. The normally closed (NC) contacts are grounded and normally open (NO) contacts are connected to +12 volts. A DC motor is connected between the two commons. In its normal state, both motor connections are grounded through the switches.

The drive circuitry for an H-Bridge is basically the electronics that sits between the PWM (and potentially other) digital control inputs and the MOSFET gates. It has two major purposes. For each channel-type. Before we dive into the details, let's get familiar with the mother of all driver circuits, the complementer CMOS driver.

H-Bridge configuration requires both P and N type MOSFETs but since N-type MOSFETs have improved electrical characteristics, using only N-type for four of the transistors will be ideal. IR2110 half bridge MOSFET and IGBT driver IC allows us to do this. By using a boost-up capacitor, it can bias the high. Learning how to use power MOSFETs by building an H-bridge motor control.

Both switches are spring loaded. If we press SW1 the NC contact opens and the NO closes supplying +12 volts to one side of the motor while the other side is still grounded through SW2. Dell Photo Aio Printer 966 Driver Windows 7 64 Bit. The motor will spin at full speed say counter-clockwise.

Release Sw1 and press SW2 and +12 volts is supplied to the '+' side of the motor while the negative side is grounded through SW1. The direction now is clockwise. Press both switches and both sides of the motor will be at +12 volts and won't run. • • • • • • • • • • Now we will look at practical MOSFET H-bridge circuits.
