This is yet another project born of necessity. It’s a simple circuit, but does exactly what it’s designed to do – dim LED lights or control the speed of 12V DC motors. The circuit uses PWM to regulate ...

This is a simple and very effective project circuit which helps to control the speed of a DC motor using pwm and microcontroller. In many applications, it is important to control the speed of DC motor ...

Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

One of the more interesting hacks we’ve seen this year is [Carl]’s experimentations with making motors out of PCBs. Honestly, it’s surprising no one has done this before — a brushless motor is just ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

Speed control of an AC motor requires a three phase supply that can vary both voltage and frequency. Such a supply creates a variable speed rotating field in the stator that allows the rotor to spin ...

With time on my hands, I decided to try a technique that I noticed first in a L200 voltage regulator data sheet. It is fig 25 in STM’s ‘A Designer’s guide to the L200 voltage regulator’ (ST webpage ...

I have heard it said that PWM fans are controllable by software. I understand the PWM connectors are the 4-pin But speedfan was around pre PWM wasn't it? So for 3 pin fan connectors. Could it control ...

Maxim has introduced a bi-directional current sense amplifier with pulse-width modulation (PWM) edge rejection. Called MAX40056 it is intended to reduce vibration in motor drives. The claim is that it ...
