DC Motor Speed Controller

This is the schematic diagram of DC motor speed controller circuit. The circuit applies two oscillators/timers which are connected as a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). The timer chip which applied in this circuit will be an nmos dual timer/oscillator NE556. This timer IC has two 555 timers in a single 14-pin IC package.

One 555 (IC1:B) is set up as an astable oscillator. The output frequency of the trigger pulses is specified by:

f = 1.44 / ((R3 + 2R4)C2), or about 410Hz.

The time period for the high output is specified by

T_HIGH = 0.69(R3 + R4)C2 seconds.

And, the low output by T_LOW = 0.69R4C2 seconds. The 2nd 555 (IC1:A) is set up for Pulse Width Modulation. It will be build in monostable mode. It is triggered using the continuous pulse train from the first 555 timer. Nevertheless, by also applying a DC voltage to pin 3, the comparator reference levels are going to be modified from their nominal levels of one-third & two-thirds of the supply voltage. This has the effect of modulating the pulse width as the control voltage varies. The control voltage is supplied via transistor Q1, which is configured as an emitter-follower. This means that the emitter output voltage follows the base input voltage (less 0.6 volt base-emitter drop). This configuration gives us a low output impedance voltage source with which to drive the control input of the timer. This makes the control voltage less susceptible to the loading effect of the timer control input.
The output from the timer is a continuous stream of pulses whose width is controlled by the voltage level used on the control voltage input. This modulated output drives a MOSFET, Q2, that is applied to switch the voltage to the DC motor.

R1 = 560R
R2 = 470R

R6 = 10R
P1 = 500R (501) Koa trimpot
RV1 = 10K potentiometer
D1 = 1N4004
C1 = 10uF/50V
C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 = 100nF
C8 = 100uF/25V

Technical Details:

Uses NE556 to pulse-width modulate IRF530N MOSFET.
DC Motor Speed Controlled via a potentiometer.
Speed control for DC motors up to 100 Volts @ 7.0Amps without sacrificing motor torque.
This DC Motor controller can handle up to 16 Amps, but PCB trace capacity would have to be beefed up with some hookup wire where DC motor current runs through the Printed Circuit Board.
Requires operating voltage of 5 – 16 VDC.

Digital Fan Regulator Circuit Diagram

This is the project of Digital Fan Regulator Circuit diagram. The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps. The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage. Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing...

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller Explanation and Example Circuit Diagram Schematic of Push Pull Converter

PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

Automatic Intruder Alarm Circuit Diagram

Description: This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include automatic Exit and Entry delays and a timed Bell/Siren Cut-Off. It's designed to be used with the usual types of normally-closed input devices such as - magnetic reed contacts - micro switches - foil tape - and PIRs. But it can be Easily Modified to accept normally-open triggering devices - such as pressure mats. Circuit Diagram Notes: It's easy to use. First check that the building is secure and that the green LED is lit. Then move SW1 to the "set" position. The red LED will light. You now have about 30 seconds to leave the building. When you return and open the door - the Buzzer will sound. You then have about 30 seconds to move SW1 to the "off" position. If you fail to do so - the relay will energize and the Siren will sound. While at least one of the switches in the normally-closed loop remains open - the Siren will continue to sound. However, about 15-minutes aft...
