PC BASED DC MOTOR SPEED AND DIRECTION CONTROLUSING PWM AND
BRIDGEA pulse width modulator (PWM) is a device that may be used as
an efficient DC motorspeed controller or light dimmer. his pro!ect
is a versatile device that can control DC deviceswhich draw up to a
few amps of current. he circuit may be used in either "# or #$ %olt
systemswith only a few minor wiring changes. his device has been
used to control the speed of the DCmotor and to control brightness
of an automotive tail lamp. A PWMcircuit

theaverage on time may be varied from * to "** percent. +n this
manner) a variable amount of poweris transferred to the load. he
main advantage of a PWM circuit over a resistive power controller
is the efficiency)at a ,*- level) the PWM will use about ,*- of
full power) almost all of which is transferred tothe load) a
resistive controller at ,*- load power would consume about ."- of
full power) ,*-of the power goes to the load and the other #"- is
wasted heating the series resistor. /neadditional
advantageofpulsewidthmodulationisthat thepulsesreachthefullsupply
voltage and will produce more tor'ue in a motor by being able to
overcome the internalmotor resistances more easily. wo push(to(on
