This control circuit is ideal for the accurate control of DC motors as well as other applications like lighting levels and small heaters etc. The circuit converts a DC voltage into series of pulses, such that the pulse duration is directly proportion to the value of the DC voltage. The great advantage of such a circuit is that almost no power is lost in the control circuit.
This circuit protects against overload and short circuit, PWM range can be adjusted from 0-100%, PWM frequency is 100HZ-5KHZ adjustable. Operation voltage from +8V~ 35V, minimum current consumption is about 35mA. Maximum current can go up to 6.5A. Efficiency better than 90% at full load.
The functions of three trim pots are as follow:
| VR1: setting the minimum output voltage | |
| VR3: setting the maximum output voltage | |
| VR2: setting the output frequency. |
