Motor Control H-Bridge: PWM Input to Get Red Output Signal

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the design and operation of an H-bridge circuit for controlling a motor in both forward and reverse modes. Participants are addressing issues related to the output signal waveform, specifically aiming to achieve a desired PWM output signal shape.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their H-bridge circuit and expresses a need for the output signal to resemble a specific waveform, indicating a problem with the current output.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the truth table for the logic inputs to the drive circuit, suggesting that the circuit may be functioning correctly if the logic signals are appropriate.
  • A participant shares a truth table for the logic inputs and outputs, indicating potential issues with the input signals to the logic gates.
  • One participant hypothesizes that achieving the desired output signal may require a negative voltage supply and the use of an operational amplifier to combine the signals.
  • Another participant questions the definitions of the variables A, B, Av, and Bv in the truth table, noting that they are not labeled in the provided schematic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the specific issues with the circuit design or the necessary modifications to achieve the desired output signal. Multiple viewpoints and suggestions are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes uncertainties regarding the labeling of signals in the schematic and the implications of the truth table provided. There is also a lack of clarity about the expected output for each combination of inputs.

I am building a H-bridge to control motor in forward mode and reverse mode , in the attachment i draw the schematic of the circuit , my problem is that the output signal looks like in the picture DSC07167 black signal and i need it like the red signal. How should the input signal of 2 PWM to have on the ouput the both mode? What do you recomand me. my inputs(before logic gates signals) are in the picture DSC07168
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I'm not quite understanding the question. Your circuit looks okay for driving the H-bridge, assuming the logic drive signals are correct. Perhaps you could show us your truth table for the 4 logic inputs to the drive circuit?
 
Hello i am sending the logic table , i think i have problem with the input signals to the logic gates and the result isn't like my need
A and B are in input to the logic gates
Av and Bv are the output from thr logic gates

A B Av Bv
1 1 0 0
1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
0 0 0 0


Thanks in advance
 
I'm assuming that the red signal has a negative voltage component. In that case your first going to need a negative voltage supply and your probably going to want to add the two signals using an op-amp, also commonly called an "adder".

What are A, B, Av, Bv? I don't see them labelled in the schematic. And what is the output for each of those input combinations?
