Tóm tắt

DC Motors are widely used in robotics, automotive sectors and consumer electronics. Conventional motor drivers use a configuration called as the H-bridge which consists of four switching devices that help to control the speed and direction of the motor. Increasing the number of switching devices not only increases the complexity of the circuit but also increases the cost of the overall system. This paper suggests a novel method of bi-directional control of a DC motor using only one Mosfet and two relays. The speed as well as the direction of the DC Motor can be controlled along with braking. Relays being electro-mechanical in nature are not easily damaged thereby increasing the Mean Time between Failure of the system. The isolation between the microcontroller and the switching device also protects it from damage. The shoot-through effect which is commonly observed is also eliminated using this design. The simulation and performance of the system along with the criteria for choosing the right driver and mosfets has been mentioned in this paper.
