12V 24V High Current Motor Speed Controller Part 3

Image
In first part we discussed about the detail of circuit, back EMF and Mosfet protection; and in second part we covered the display and menu, in this third and last part we will build and test our project.  The DC Motor Speed Controller is built on two PC boards: a main board, and a display  board. These are joined together via a 12-way flat ribbon cable, which plugs into a pin header on the main board.  The main board can be assembled first – see Fig.9. Start by checking the PC board for hairline cracks and for any visible shorts across the copper tracks, especially between the ground plane and any adjacent tracks. In addition, check the hole sizes for the larger hardware items by test fitting these parts into position. Making a link That done, begin by installing the 17 wire links. These must go in first, since some of them run underneath some components. To straighten the link wire, first clamp one end in a vice, then stretch it slightly by pulling on the other end with ...

LED Torch using NSI45090JDT4G Constant Current Regulator

Image
A very simple LED torch can be designed using the NSI45090JDT4G adjustable constant current regulator (CCR) designed by ON Semiconductor ,using extreme few external components. NSI45090JDT4G device is designed to provide a cost effective solution for regulating current in LEDs. This Constant current regulator is based on patent-pending Self-Biased Transistor (SBT) technology and regulates current over a wide voltage range. It is designed with a negative temperature coefficient to protect LEDs from thermal runaway at extreme voltages and currents. LED Torch Circuit Diagram The Radj pin allows Ireg(SS) to be adjusted to higher currents by attaching a resistor between Radj (Pin 3) and the Cathode (Pin 4). The Radj pin can also be left open (No Connect) if no adjustment is required.The maximum current that can be adjusted using this chip is around 160 mA , and the maximum input voltage is around 45 volts The D1 from the circuit shown here is used for reverse battery protection . Bellow you...

Ampere or Current Booster

Image
Small and very useful circuit, Can be built on a veroboard Volt regulators such as the LM708, and LM317 series (and others) sometimes need to provide a little bit more current then they actually can handle. If that is the case, this little circuit can help out. A power transistor such as the 2N3772 or similar can be used. The power transistor is used to boost the extra needed current above the maximum allowable current provided via the regulator. Current up to 1500mA(1.5amp) will flow through the regulator, anything above that makes the regulator conduct and adding the extra needed current to the output load. It is no problem stacking power transistors for even more current. (see diagram). Both regulator and power transistor must be mounted on an adequate heatsink. Circuit diagram: Ampere or Current Booster Circuit Diagram Parts: R1 = 1R-2W R2 = 10R-2W C1 = 35v-470uF C2 = 35v-470uF Q1 = TIP2955 IC1 = 78xx Regulator

Yes No Indicator Has Zero Standby Current

Image
This circuit produces a random "Yes" or "No" with a single button press - indicated by the illumination of a red or green LED. The circuit has two advantages over similar circuits. First, it uses just a single momentary contact pushbutton, so no on-off switch is required. When the pushbutton is pressed, an oscillator comprising the 10nF capacitor and 22kΩ resistor at pins 1 & 2 is almost immediately stopped by FET Q1, which pulls the oscillator's timing capacitor to the positive rail. However, the 220nF capacitor and 470kΩ resistor in the gate circuit of Q1 introduce a tenth of a second's delay, so that about 250 oscillations take place before the clock is stopped. Due to variations in charge on the circuit's capacitors, as well as voltage and temperature variations, and the unpredictability of when the pushbutton will be pressed, randomness is assured. The circuit has a high degree of randomness because it takes advantage of a near-perfect compleme...

Solid State Relay Required Only 50uA Drive Current

Image
This circuit demands a control current that is 100 times smaller than that needed by a typical optically isolated solid state relays. It is ideal for battery-powered systems. Using a combination of a high current TRIAC and a very sensitive low current SCR, the circuit can control about 600 watts of power to load while providing full isolation and transient protection.
