LMD18200 Motor Controller Schematic

Using the LMD18200 3A H-Bridge designed by National Semiconductors for motion control applications can be designed a very simple motor controller electronic project . Ideal for driving DC and stepper motors; the LMD18200 accommodates peak output currents up to 6A. An innovative circuit which facilitates low-loss sensing of the output current has been implemented.

LMD18200 Motor Controller Schematic


This circuit controls the current through the motor by applying an average voltage equal to zero to the motor terminals for a fixed period of time, whenever the current through the motor exceeds the commanded current. This action causes the motor current to vary slightly about an externally controlled average level. The duration of the Off-period is adjusted by the resistor and capacitor combination of the LM555.

Using this motor driver circuit you can design a 24 DC motor that require a maximum current consumption of 3 amperes .

Pulse Width Modulation DC Motor Control Circuit

Description 
 Often, people attempt to control DC motors with a variable resistor or variable resistor connected to a transistor. While the latter approach works well, it generates heat and hence wastes power. This simple pulse width modulation DC motor control eliminates these problems. It controls the motor speed by driving the motor with short pulses. These pulses vary in duration to change the speed of the motor. The longer the pulses, the faster the motor turns, and vice versa.
Circuit Diagram
 Parts
  • R1 1 Meg 1/4W Resistor
  • R2 100K Pot
  • C1 0.1uF 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
  • C2 0.01uF 25V Ceramic Disc Capacitor
  • Q1 IRF511 MOSFET or IRF620
  • U1 4011 CMOS NAND Gate
  • S1 DPDT Switch
  • M1 Motor (See Notes)
  • MISC Case, Board, Heatsink, Knob For R2, Socket For U1 
Notes
  • R2 adjusts the speed of the oscillator and therefore the speed of M1.
  • M1 can be any DC motor that operates from 6V and does not draw more than the maximum current of Q1. The voltage can be increased by connecting the higher voltage to the switch instead of the 6V that powers the oscillator. Be sure not to exceed the power rating of Q1 if you do this.
  • Q1 will need a heatsink.
  • Q1 in the parts list can handle a maximum of 5A. Use the IRF620 for 6A, if you need any higher.

Motor driver L298 Circuit

DC motor driver with H-Bridge IC L293D
IC H Bridge DC motor driver L298 has two H-Bridge circuit in it, so it can be used to download the drive two DC motors. H Bridge DC motor driver L298 each can deliver currents up to 2A. However, in use, the H Bridge DC motor driver L298 can be used in parallel, so the ability to deliver the H Bridge DC motor driver L298 flow into 4A. The consequences of the installation of H Bridge L298 DC motor driver with the parallel mode, you need 2 pieces Bridge H L298 DC motor driver to control two DC motors using H bridge DC motor driver L298 in parallel mode.
H Bridge Pin IC L298 DC motor driver which is connected in parallel operation mode:
* OUT1 connected to OUT4.
* OUT2 OUT3 linked.
* IN1 is connected to IN4.
* IN2 connected to IN3.
* ENABLE ENABLE A linked to B.

OUT1/OUT4 and OUT2/OUT3 associated with DC motors to be controlled.

Please note that the output of the L298 does not have a safety diode. Thus, the need to add two diodes - flyback diodes, with appropriate current capability, at any point output.
