8A Brushed DC Motor Driver with Adjustable Constant Current, Direction Control, Brake Control, Speed Control
This is a very powerful brushed DC motor drive system in a small package with a few key features like adjustable constant current control, direction control, brake controls, Alert output, PWM for speed control etc. The project was built using a TB67H303HG chip which is a full-bridge...
Continue ReadingBidirectional Speed Control for DC Motors
This is a very simple bidirectional speed control of a small DC brushed motor. The project is built using power OPAMP TCA0372 which can drive a load up to 1A. Connecting a small DC motor and trimmer pot will control the motor forward/reverse operation along with speed control. A...
