5.2. Drive DC Motor with PWM and H-Bridge

5.2.1. Objective This chapter focuses on running a DC motor with PWM and an H-Bridge. On completion of the exercise you will: Have used PSoC Designer to create a Motor Drive Project. Understand the basic operation and functionality of the SN754410 H -Bridge. 5.2.2. System Level Diagram

Figure 85: System Diagram 5.2.3. Conceptual Background The motor control in this lab will drive a motor both forward and backward. It will also allow for speed control by using a PWM. The direction that the voltage will pass through our motor will be determined by the H-Bridge. The signals passed into the H-Bridge will control which gates are open, this will then determine which way the voltage will be going through our motor. The PWM signal will dictate the rate at which the gates open and close. This will allow us to determine how quickly the motor is spinning.
