Dual DC Motor speed controllers navigate robots:  02/05/2004  EDN-Design Ideas  In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR. The input signal level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain. It is also standard practice in low-noise analog-signal processing to make the circuit's bandwidth as narrow as possible to pass only the useful input-signal spectrum. (added 10/05)

Fan Controller Adapts to System Temperature:  09/25/97 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 2/03) Any piece of electronic equipment--whether it be a lab instrument, an audio amplifier, or a PC--that relies on a cooling fan to control internal temperature is a potential source of noise pollution or even hearing damage. Most of the time, the fan's noise level is probably much higher than necessary, because it has enough capacity to move enough air to handle worst-case conditions. In many systems, the fan can either be off or running slowly most of the time with no damage to the system. Keeping the fan off or running slowly benefits you by reducing ambient noise and possible fatigue, irritated nerves, or even hearing damage. The circuit in Figure 1 adjusts a fan's speed according to temperature....

Four-transistor H-bridge:  an interesting 4-transistor H-bridge variant; this is cheap and easy to build, and best of all is "smokeless" (i.e., no combination of inputs can cause the bridge to self-destruct).   (added 11/05)

Frequency switch:  (diagram added 2/07)

Fridge Saver:  This circuit waits 5 minutes before re-applying the power to a refrigerator to prevent it from having to start up under pressure after a brief power outage. This is highly stressful for the compressor and the thermal cut-out switch built into the compressor. This device prevents frequent brief power interruptions....  (added 10/06)

Full-featured Dual H-bridge:  I had always assumed that dynamic braking would be most effective at higher speeds. However, actual tests using a Faulhaber (micro mo) gearmotor showed that the brake would hold a motor almost stationary. These gearmotors are so well made that I can turn the 4 mm diameter shaft with light finger pressure. For the tests I had mounted a 90 mm diameter wheel, which gave me tremendous mechanical advantage. I found with the wheel mounted that I could barely turn the motor against the brake.    (added 11/05)
