Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • PWM Circuit for Motor Speed Control
    Sometimes you want to slow down a brush type DC motor. The most efficient way to do this is with a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. The hobby circuit below can operate from about 3 volts to 15 volts. The frequency is fixed at about 2KHz but the pulse width can be varied from nearly 100% to 0%. ...

Position detectors provide Motor control logic - 05/24/01 EDN-Design Ideas: In the circuit of Figure 1 , assume that a brush-type dc motor must drive a load back and forth between two endpoints on a lead screw. Optical sensors determine end of travel, and an SPDT switch selects to which end to send the load. The sensors themselves supply all the necessary directional logic, and a triac powers the motor with the necessary polarity of half-wave pulses from the 13.....(design idea added 2/06)

PWM Controller Drives LEDs from high voltage lines - 03/04/04 EDN-Design Ideas: Powering LEDs from a wide dc range—say, 30 to 380V—without wasting a lot of power in the regulating block, is a difficult task when the LED current needs to be constant. Dedicated LED drivers are available, but they usually implement boost structures and are thus inadequate for high-voltage inputs....  Powering LEDs from a wide dc range—say, 30 to 380V—without wasting a lot of power in the regulating block, is a difficult task when the LED current needs to be constant.

PWM Motor Speed Controller/DC Light Dimmer - DC Light Dimmer using a LM324 IC (electronic circuit added 4/05)
PWM Motor/Light Controller - The diagrams are for 12V operation only and there are high side (common ground) and low side (common +12V) versions. The low side version of the circuit uses an N Channel FET, the high side version of the circuit uses a P Channel FET. N Channel devices tend to handle more current than P Channel devices, they are also less expensive. The high side version of the circuit is useful when one side of the load has to be grounded....(circuit add 6/07)
PWM Speed Control - includes theory and some example circuits (added 5/02)
Redundant Fan Systems using the TC647 Fan Manager - Microchip Application Note Published 4-Feb-02  (app note added 2/06)
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 11/05)
Room Temperature Controller - room temperature controller with PIC. This equipment uses two temperature sensors, drives external equipment, and keeps the temperature of the room at preset temperature. The purpose of this equipment is for preventing room temperature going up with the heat of the computers. Electric cost will become high if an air-conditioner is always operated. Then, I made the equipment which adjusts the temperature of the room automatically using some ventilation fans. The function below preset temperature is a function attached moreover. I think that it can use for temperature control, such as a greenhouse. ….(design added 11/08)
