175-V, 2-A, two-quadrant velocity controller Driver Circuit
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

The UCC3626 motor controller device combines many of the functions required to design a high-performance, two- or four-quadrant, threephase, brushless dc motor controller into one package. Rotor position inputs are decoded to provide six outputs that control an external power stage. A precision triangle oscillator and latched comparator provide PWM motor control in either voltage- [...]

Driving Bipolar Stepper Motors with PIC16F84

Driving Bipolar Stepper Motors by PIC16F84
Stepper motors are devices, which convert electrical impulses into discrete mechanical rotational movements. In a typical stepper motor, power is applied to two coils. Two stator cups formed around each of these coils, with pole pairs mechanically offset by ½ a pole pitch, become alternately energized North and South magnetic [...]

Full-featured Dual H-bridge
Monday, August 10th, 2009

Probably the simplest, reversible drive circuit is the H-Bridge. Some BEAMbots use H-bridge motor drivers; many more use an H-bridge variant of some sort. Here’s a simple conceptual schematic: Image A basic H-Bridge has 4 switches, relays, transistors, or other means of completing a circuit to drive a motor. In the above diagram, the switches [...]
