In this post I have explained how to make a simple 3 phase brushless DC motor driver circuit. The circuit employs the popular IRS2330 3-phase driver IC The presented idea looks simple since most of the technicalities is taken care of efficiently by the IC itself, it’s all about connecting the relevant pinouts with the […]

How Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors Work
The post comprehensively details the basic operating concept of brushless DC motors also called BLDC motor. Difference Between Brushed and Brushless DC Motors In our traditional brushed motors brushes are employed in order to switch the central moving rotor with respect to the surrounding stationery permanent magnet stator. Brushes become imperative because the rotor is […]
IC IR2184, IR21844 Half-Bridge Driver Circuit Diagram, Datasheet, Working
In this article we are going to learn about one very useful IC called IR2184 or IR21844. This one is a smart half-bridge gate driver IC which we can use for driving both high-side and low-side MOSFETs or IGBTs, mainly when we are making full bridge inverters, or DC motor controllers, or even induction heater […]
Compact 3-Phase IGBT Driver IC STGIPN3H60 – Datasheet, Pinout
In this post I have explained the datasheet, and the pinout specification of the IC STGIPN3H60 from ST microelectronics, which is perhaps the slimmest and the smartest 3-phase IGBT driver IC featuring in-built IGBTs, rated to work with 600V DC bus and upto 3 amp current, that’s equivalent to almost 1800 VA handling power. 3-Phase IGBT […]
L293 Quad Half-H Driver IC Pinout, Datasheet, Application Circuit
In this post we investigate the technical specifications and pinout details of the IC L293 which is a versatile quad half-H driver IC, and can be used for implementing many interesting motor driver based circuit applications, such as for operating motors, solenoids and other inductive loads (4 units separately or in pairs through push-pull mode). How […]
Designing a Powerful 48V 3KW Electric Vehicle
In this post I have explained a few important parameters related to the making of a 48V 3KW electric vehicle using solar panel, including a full fledged circuit diagram for the same. The idea was requested by Mr. Sreejith. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I am Sreejith Rajan a b.tech student doing a project on electric […]
