SERPENT I - DC motor controller

Image
INTRODUCTION : The H-Bridge DC motor driver/controller (code-name: SERPENT I) is based on the powerful MOSFET IRF3710 declared on 57 amps of continuous current. The driver can be divided into two parts, the first dedicated to the control units, such as microcontrollers and development boards, and the second one, energy part, dedicated to the power MOSFET transistors. SERPENT I – DC motor controller/driver is announced by article publication titled “DC motor controller” at an InfoElektronika magazine from Niš – Serbia. SERPENT I - H-Bridge IRF3710 IRF3710 H-Bridge H-Bridge is composed of four MOSFET transistors IRF3710 declared at 57 amps. Power MOSFET transistors are driven by a gate driver LM393 which is actually integrated circuit with two comparators/operational amplifiers. As LM393 is a comparator, it means you need to provide a reference voltage point that is made in a single voltage divider. The voltage divider is implemented by R10 potentiomet
