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....

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) |
