Sevro amp schematic

If you drive the whole thing from an AVR or a PIC then your problems are solved. Not only can you select a device with an ADC and PWM output, but you can put in the adjustable deadband, velocity limiting and trapezoidal velocity profiling that you'll find you need to keep the system stable and working correctly.

If you don't believe me then here's a handy circuit: When Vin > 0 the

4053 switches to the + input and the "DIR" output is on. When Vin < 0 the 4053 switches to the - input and the "DIR" output is off. When Vin = 0 the DIR output oscillates like crazy and you get all sorts of weird transients on "MAG" -- but what do you want for free? Figuring out how to get some hysteresis in the comparator is your problem. ___ .---|___|----. | | 4053 | Opamp | ___ | |\\ | Vin /o-|___|--o---|-\\ | Mag o---o----o/ | >-----o--------o | | o--------o---|+/ | | | |/ | | .-. | | | | | | | | | | '-' | | | | | | | | === | | GND | | | '----------------------. | | | Comparator | | |\\ | '--------------------|+\\ | Dir | >----o---------o .---|-/ | |/ | | === GND created by Andy´s ASCII-Circuit v1.24.140803 Beta

Hi All; I want to build a circuit that will take a voltage, and drive a geared motor to a position based on the voltage. Position will be sensed by a pot. What I cant figure out is the bidirectional drive. I have 12 volts, and I also have 6 LM18200. Does anyone have a circuit that would work? Pat

Is that the LMD18200 you're talking about? That's an H-bridge, which is naturally bi-directional. Have you studied H bridges? Have you read NSC's an-828 and an-694 application notes?

Thats the one, what I was thinking is have a 555 setup up to do variable pwm with a null in the center of the input range and a comparitor to detect direction. Does that sound like a good plan.

The other path is get a small pic, program it to do it all.

No. The 555 (why is everybody so in love with it?) doesn't naturally lend itself to variable-duty cycle apps. This issue has been beaten to death recently in another thread in this group. Use a LM393. Next thing you need to worry about are loop stability issues.

Not necessarily easier.
