Circuits 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)

MOSFET H Bridge -  (schematic / circuit added 6/07)
Motor-control scheme yields four positions with two outputs -  7-Feb-02 Issue of EDN  Figure 1 showshow to position a mechanical device into four discrete positions but with only two free outputs and one free input from the control system. The position depends on a set of cams and four corresponding limit switches. The 24V-dc motor comes with a worm gear. Darlington transistors Q3 to Q6 and resistors R7 to R12 form an H-bridge that drives the dc motor, M..... [Design Idea by Jean-Bernard Guiot, DCS AG, Allschwil, Switzerland]

Reversing H-bridge -  This H-bridge variant was one of the first in which the reversing circuitry is built into the driver, rather than (as is more-commonly done) into the control circuitry upstream of the driver.  This is a handy circuit, though, for 2-motor walkers -as all that is required to reverse one is to reverse the phasing of one of the motors.  (added 7/06)
Self-oscillating H bridge lights white LED from one cell -  26-Nov-09 Issue of EDN  Circuit operates on batteries as low as 0.6V..... [Design Idea by Luca Bruno, ITIS Hensemberger Monza, Lissone, Italy]
Sensor Electronic Tracker with H-Bridge Drive -  I decided to make a commercial surface mount PC board using the LED2 sensor concept. It is quite sensitive and can track to a few degrees of accuracy in bright sunlight. If a blocking shadow  is used the accuracy is better then 1/4 degree, that's about as good as you can get with an active feedback sensor. The board is a tiny .7"x1.4".....

Servo Pulse to Dual H-Bridge -  interface performs vital control functions needed for propulsion and steering of a “fighting robot”.   (added 7/06)
Servo Pulse to PWM -  converter connects an H-Bridge to radio control receivers or robotic circuits. (added 7/06)
Six-transistor H-bridge -  This is the six transistor "Tilden style" H-bridge; while not as old as the original "basic H-bridge," this goes "way back," and is the basis for many BEAM driver circuits (added 7/06)
Zoelen Bridge Z-Bridge -  A Cheaper H-Bridge Design the Zoelen Bridge (Z-Bridge)  (added 7/06)
