If you are wondering if there’s an easy way to implement an H-bridge driver circuit without using the complex bootstrapping stage, the following idea will precisely solve your query. In this article I have explained how to build an universal full-bridge or H-bridge MOSFET driver circuit, using P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, which can be used […]

Adjustable Drill Machine Speed Controller Circuit
The proposed variable drill speed controller circuit maintains a constant (adjustable) speed over the drill machine motor, regardless of the load. One of the most used power tools is the power drill machine. Despite its innumerable advantages, the power drill has one major setback – constant high speed for many applications. Even when there are […]
Constant Torque Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC Motor controller which features a constant torque compensation for enabling the motor to run at a consistent speed irrespective of the load on it. Drawback of Ordinary Speed Controllers One drawback of the majority of simple speed controllers is they only provide the motor with a predetermined […]
2 Simple Bidirectional Motor Controller Circuits Explored
A circuit which allows a connected motor to operate in clockwise and anticlockwise directions through alternate input triggers is called a bidirectional controller circuit. The first design below discusses a Full bridge or H bridge based Bidirectional motor controller circuit using the 4 opamps from the IC LM324. In the second article I have explained […]
5 Simple DC Motor Speed Controller Circuits Explained
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit. 5 easy to build speed controller circuits for DC motors are presented here, first one using MOSFET IRF540, second one using IC 555, the third concept with IC […]
Understanding Scalar (V/f) Control for Induction Motors
In this article I will try to explain how scalar control algorithm is implemented for controlling induction motor speed with relatively straightforward calculations, and yet achieve a reasonably good linearly variable speed control of the motor. Reports from many top market analysis reveal that induction motors are the most popular when it comes to handling […]
