Stepper Motor Controller Using by A3952S

Using the A3952S stepper motor controller ( designed by Allegro MicroSystems ) we can design a very simple and useful motor driver circuit that can be used in many electronic applications . A3952S stepper motor controller is capable of continuous output currents up to 2 A and operating voltages range up to 50 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control circuitry can be used to regulate the maximum load current to a desired value. The MODE terminal can be used to optimize the performance of the device in microstepping / sinusoidal stepper motor drive applications.

A3952S Stepper Motor Controller Circuit diagram


When the average load current is increasing, slow-decay mode is used to limit the switching losses in the device and iron losses in the motor. The thermal performance in applications with high load currents and/or high duty cycles can be improved by adding external diodes in parallel with the internal diodes. In internal PWM slow-decay applications, only the two top-side (flyback) diodes need be added. For internal fast-decay PWM, or external PHASE or ENABLE input PWM applications, all four external diodes should be added for maximum junction temperature reduction .

As you can see in the schematic diagram , this stepper motor driver circuit require two A3952S circuits and other few additional electronic components.

Volume Controller Equalizer Using LM1036

This volume controller equalizer electronic project is designed using LM1036 DC tone volume controller with volume and balance circuit for stereo applications .An additional control input of the LM1036 allows loudness compensation to be simply effected.

Volume Controller Equalizer Circuit Using LM1036


The four control inputs of the LM1036 volume controller provides control of the bass, treble, balance and volume functions through application of DC voltages from a remote control system or, alternatively, from four potentiometers which may be biased from a zenner regulated supply provided on the circuit.Each tone response is defined by a single capacitor chosen to give the desired characteristic.

Stepper Motor Controller Using the NJM3771

An very simple stepper motor driver circuit can be designed using the NJM3771 stepper motor driver integrated circuit designed by New Japan Radio Co. Ltd. This stepper motor driver electronic project is very simple to design and require few external components . 

Stepper Motor Controller Circuit diagram


The NJM3771 IC is especially developed for use in microstepping applications in conjunction with the matching dual DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) NJU39610. The NJM3771 contains a clock oscillator, which is common for both driver channels; a set of comparators and flip-flops implementing the switching control; and two H-bridges with internal recirculation diodes. Also this stepper motor driver project supports a wide range input voltage : +5 V is required for logic and +10 to +45 V for the motor powering . The maximum output current that is supported by this circuit is around 650 mA per channel. The NJM3771 stepper motor driver has an selectable slow fast current decay for improved high speed Microstepping .

The output current to the motor winding is mainly determined by the voltage at the reference input and the value of the sensing resistor, RS. The voltage across the sensing resistor is fed back to the comparator via a low-pass filter section, to prevent erroneous switching due to switching transients ( the recommended filter component values, 1 kohm and 820 pF). This driver IC is designed for bipolar motors, i.e., motors that have only one winding per phase but unipolar motor, having windings with a center tap, can also be used .

Dual High Side Switch Controller

Dual High Side Switch Controller Circuit Diagram


One of the most frequent uses of n-channel MOSFET’s is as a voltage controlled switch. To ensure that the MOSFET delivers the full supply voltage to the load it is necessary for the gate voltage to be a few volts above the supply voltage level. This can be a problem if no other suitable higher volt-age sources are available for use elsewhere in the circuit. The LTC 1982 dual high-side switch controller from Lin-ear Technology (www.linear-tech.com) solves this problem by incorporating a voltage tripler circuit in the gate driver stage. The gate voltage is limited to +7.5 V which is 2.0 V above the IC’s maximum operating voltage. It can directly drive the gate of logic-level MOSFET with a VGS(th) from 1.0 V to 2.0 V. A suitable n-channel logic level MOSFET would be the BSP 295. This device can switch up to 1.5 A and is available in an SOT 233 SMD package.

12V Speed Controller Dimmer

This handy circuit can be used as a speed controller for a 12V motor rated up to 5A (continuous) or as a dimmer for a 12V halogen or standard incandescent lamp rated up to 50W. It varies the power to the load (motor or lamp) using pulse width modulation (PWM) at a pulse frequency of around 220Hz.  SILICON CHIP has produced a number of DC speed controllers over the years, the most recent being our high-power 24V 40A design featured in the March & April 2008 issues. Another very popular design is our 12V/24V 20A design featured in the June 1997 issue and we have also featured a number of reversible 12V designs.

For many applications though, most of these designs are over-kill and a much simpler circuit will suffice. Which is why we are presenting this basic design which uses a 7555 timer IC, a Mosfet and not much else. Being a simple design, it does not monitor motor back-EMF to provide improved speed regulation and nor does it have any fancy overload protection apart from a fuse. However, it is a very efficient circuit and the kit cost is quite low.

There are many applications for this circuit which will all be based on 12V motors, fans or lamps. You can use it in cars, boats, and recreational vehicles, in model boats and model railways and so on. Want to control a 12V fan in a car, caravan or computer? This circuit will do it for you. The circuit uses a 7555 timer (IC1) to generate variable width pulses at about 210Hz. This drives Mosfet Q3 (via transistors Q1 & Q2) to control the speed of a motor or to dim an incandescent lamp.

While the circuit can dim 12V halogen lamps, we should point out that dimming halogen lamps is very wasteful. In situations where you need dimmable 12V lamps, you will be much better off substituting 12V LED lamps which are now readily available in standard bayonet, miniature Edison screw (MES) and MR16 halogen bases. Not only are these LED replacement lamps much more efficient than halogen lamps, they do not get anywhere near as hot and will also last a great deal longer.
