Can a 555 timer be used to control a brushless DC motor with the help of an IC?

[shiv]

I have seen a link in this forum http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22263A.pdf

that denotes an IC to control a brushless DC motor. How to connect it with a 555 timer? Can anyone help me with the entire circuit diagram? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?

There are numerous sources of info for creating a PWM signal from a 555 - Google " 555 PWM" -- since the best solution for your case can have many factors - it would be difficult to give a clear answer / guidance otherwise. If this is a very simple case - then the simplest 555 solution will work. -

Need more information on what you are doing. Why are you locked into a 555 timer? Have you considered a low cost MCU from Microchip. I grew up on 555's (came out in 1970's), but there are other options in 2014.

I can provide some information on how to connect a brushless DC motor with a 555 timer, but I am not able to provide a complete circuit diagram as it would depend on the specific motor and IC being used. The link provided appears to be a datasheet for a motor driver IC, which is designed to control the speed and direction of a brushless DC motor. This IC can be connected to a 555 timer in order to control the timing and frequency of the motor's rotation.

To connect the IC with the 555 timer, you will need to consult the datasheet for both components and determine the appropriate pins and connections. Generally, the output of the 555 timer will be connected to the input of the motor driver IC, and the output of the IC will be connected to the motor itself. The 555 timer can also be used to adjust the duty cycle of the motor's rotation, allowing for even more precise control.

It is important to note that the exact circuit diagram will vary depending on the specific motor and IC being used, and it is important to carefully follow the instructions in the datasheets to ensure proper functioning. Additionally, it is recommended to have a basic understanding of electronics and circuitry before attempting to connect and control a brushless DC motor with a 555 timer.

I hope this information helps, and I suggest consulting with an experienced electronics engineer or referring to online resources for a more detailed circuit diagram.
