Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Alternating CW & CCW Motor Driver 
    A while back a company needed a motor controller for a custom door latching system.  The system used a small brush motor with a speed reduction gear to both latch and unlatch the door.  When pulsed for about 250ms in the clockwise direction, the motor would unlatch the door.  When spun in the opposite direction for 250ms, it would latch the door. The circuit below performs this function.  A single low power pushbutton is used to alternate between the two directions.  The circuit is powered by 4.5v using a battery made from three alkaline AA cells.  The motor draws about 250ma. The battery should provide many years of service.
  • Low Voltage H-bridge
    TTL type Q and inverted Q inputs control a classic H-bridge circuit, rated at 50 volts and about 10 amps.  The circuit can control power and direction of a DC motor. (added 7/06)

H-Bridge Motor Controller 5 amps 100 Watts -  This circuit drives small DC motors up to about 100 watts or 5 amps or 40 volts, whichever comes first. Using bigger parts could make it more powerful. Using a real H-bridge IC makes sense for this size of motor, but hobbyists love to do it themselves, and I thought it was about time to show a tested H-bridge motor driver that didn't use exotic parts.....(added 4/05)
H-Bridge Motor Driver -  A wiring diagram, photograph, and movie of an H-bridge dc motor driver circuit implemented with a TC4424A, TC4427A, or MAX4427 dual MOSFET driver IC. Very useful for running small bot gear motors.  (project added 10/06)
H-Bridge Power Amp -  .....(spice design added 02/09)
H-Bridge Switch for Small Motors -  simple switch circuit for reversing and stopping a motor without any control of speed (added 7/06)
H-BRIDGE Theory & Practice -  A number of web sites talk about H-bridges, they are a topic of great discussion in robotics clubs and they are the bane of many robotics hobbyists. I periodically chime in on discussions about them, and while not an expert by a long shot I've built a few over the years. Further, they were one of my personal stumbling blocks when I was first getting into robotics.....[Chuck McManis]
H-Bridge with PWM -  This circuit drives a motor clockwise / anticlockwise via a pot and reduces the speed to zero when the pot is in mid-position. The current is limited to 200mA and the voltage across the motor is less than 6v, but the circuit shows the principle of Pulse Width Modulation (providing powerful bursts of current to the motor to create a high or low RPM under load) and both forward / reverse RPM via the H-bridge arrangement.
