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 [...]

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 [...]

This PWM circuit needs only two inverter gates, so you can build up to 3 independent PWM circuit using only one IC chip, since there are at keast 6 inverter gates in one IC package. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Please remember that you should connect any input pins of [...]

This PWM motor control circuit provides many controls for DC motor. You can control the DC motor to rotate forward, reverse, or break until it stops. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The circuit uses MOSFETS bridge to drive the motor, controlled by some logic gates and small bipolar transistors. The [...]

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 [...]

We usually use a fan to manage the temperature, but it produces audible noise at full speed. To reduce this noise we can use this circuit. The first circuit reduces the noise by controlling the cooling-fan speed as a function of temperature. It uses an IC that combines temperature sensing with a PWM output. When [...]
