Analog Fan Speed Control

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 switches. Digitally controlled fans perform […]

Circuit Converts PWM Fan Drive to Linear and Reduces Acoustic Noise

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 the temperature of the processor […]

Stepper Motor Controller

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, the same wires that carry […]

Phase Control Circuit

A phase control circuit can be used to control the power delivered to an AC load. The phase control circuit control the AC waveform, cutting the cycle to give full cycle, half cycle, zero cycle, or somewhere in between. You can say this circuit is similar to a dimmer circuit, but the switching is synchronized with the zero crossing of […]

3 Phase AC Motor Speed Control

Controlling the speed of three phase ac motor is done by controlling the frequency of the power line supply,  since the motor is synchronized with the line frequency. Three phase ac motor speed controller is actually nothing more than three phase sine wave power inverter with variable frequency. The three phase power inverter is a complex circuit, but fortunately there […]
