Motor Driver Circuit Using Transistor

The driver circuit for a unipolar stepper motor can be constructed with the help of few transistors or a darlington transistor ic like uln2003.

Motor driver circuit using transistor.

But the driver circuit for a bipolar stepper motor requires an h bridge type connection. The name h bridge refers to the look of the connection consisting of four transistors and a motor in the center forming the letter h. The direction can be changed easily and the speed can be controlled. We use the four transistors as a switch controller.

But unable to control direction of the motor. Also this motor driver dose not cost any more than 1 25 usd making it super cheap. It is the simple and elegant solution to all motor driving problems. An h bridge is a simple electronic circuit consisting of four switching elements like transistors bjt or mosfet that can drive a motor in both the directions without switching the leads.

Actually we can t say it as a motor driver as it can just toggle motor on or off rather than controlling the motor speed or direction. The bd6xx range is an npn darlington with a collector current rating of 4 amperes and there is a wide range of transistors available for use in this application. Let in be the input to the base of the transistor. To the collector of the transistor the dc motor is connected.

Bridge transistor motor driver as figure 5 we use the four transistors to connected into the h bridge circuit. Because the single transistor motor driver was able to control the speed of motor. And add a diode to protect the electricity that may flow backward from the motor. The h bridge motor driver circuit this circuit is called h bridge because the mosfets form the two vertical strokes and the motor forms the horizontal stroke of the alphabet h.

Hello everyone in this instructable we will be using transistor as a motor driver. Here power transistor is used as a switch to turn a motor on or off depending upon the applied voltage at base. Stepper motor driver using bi polar transistors this stepper motor driver circuit uses the bd681 bi polar transistors for switching current to the coils. It uses a power transistor d880 dc motor and a resistor for its operation.

Using transistor single direction control. Its circuit is shown below. The same motor driver circuit is used in making a simple line follower robot. So we need a h bridge of transistors in order to control speed as well as direction of the motor efficiently.

But using the transistor protects our arduino from burning out. Transistor based dc motor driver circuit is one of the simple dc motor driver circuit. The classic beginner s dc motor driver circuit that appears in every electronics textbook is the bipolar transistor h bridge.
