Accelerometer Amplifier

circuit schematic

Precision accelerometers needs inverting mode amplifier since they are usually charge-output  devices. This amplifier convert charges into voltage output. The circuit below is an example of accelerometer with DC servo. The charge from the transducer is converted to a voltage by C1, which should equal the transducer capacitance plus the input capacitance of [...]

Radio Control (RC) Servo Motor with PWM – Video Tutorial

This video tutorial  is about servo motor that controlled by PWM signal.  There should be two electrical input, one for the power and  another for the control signal (to command a position). This servo motor is very common that can be found in the radio control cars and airplanes. The position of  the servo motor [...]

PWM Motor Control Circuit

circuit schematic

Speed control for dc motor (electric motor) can be implemented using open loop or closed loop. Closed loop controller, also known as servo controller,  or a feedback control, gives the best performance since the loop will maintain the actual speed to follow the reference. In simple application, an open loop controller can be enough if [...]

Temperature Controller for Crystal Oven

circuit schematic

The temperature of a quartz crystal for oscillator should to be kept constant to operate at very stable frequency. This oven temperature controller is suitable for such purpose.  Here is the schematic diagram of the temperature control circuit: Although this circuit is small and simple, the design use a PWM output to preserve [...]

Small DC Motor Speed Controller

circuit schematic

Electric motor has been widely used as motion control, and many  type of motor controllers  have been designed to provide variable speed drives for the motor. The best controller is the servo controller, where a precise speed control is implemented using a speed sensor in the feedback path.  The circuit of the motor controller in [...]

Closed Loop PWM Motor Control

circuit schematic

Closed Loop Motor Control Closed loop (servo) control is used to make a constant speed motor control. Constant speed means that the speed of the motor will be kept constant although the load is change, or even when the electric supply voltage is also changed.  The circuit maintain the speed at a constant value [...]
