DC Motor Speed Control – Video Tutorial

This is a video tutorial of DC motor control. This video shows how to control the DC motor speed. In this video, speed of the DC motor is controlled by changing the power supply. Increasing speed can be done by increasing the voltage, and decreasing the voltage will decrease the speed of DC motor. Here [...]

AC Mode Universal Motor Drive

circuit schematic

This is AC mode universal motor drive circuit. This circuit is suitable for large range of application. It uses the microcontroller to interpret the user interface that is used to select the four operating modes that are defined in hardware. Here is the circuit :

As power switch, this circuit use “SNUBBERLESS” TRIAC  BTA 12-600BW  with [...]

Analog Fan Speed Control

circuit schematic

The large issue today that caused by more electronic equipment enters the home and the office is noise of fan. to reduce fan noise, a variable speed fan is used because it permits quieter and slower, fan speed when temperature conditions allow. To build a variable speed fan we can use digital control or high-speed/low-speed [...]

Circuit Converts PWM Fan Drive to Linear and Reduces Acoustic Noise

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Stepper Motor Controller

circuit schematic

Stepper motor gives a simple, low cost, and accurate position control. Stepper motor can be driven by circuit mounted close to the motor, and controlled by a remote control circuit through long cable.  The interesting thing of this circuit is that the power for both motor and the driver circuit is carried over two wires, [...]

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 by sensing [...]
