Can someone point out an authoritative resource that lists the details of all known PWM drive modes used to drive a DC brushed motor using an h-bridge?
I have to design a h-bridge circuit (which I have never done before) that will drive a DC brushed motor to about 30 Amps.
The motor needs to quickly accelerate, decelerate, and reverse direction.
I have a good start on the actual electronics, but am running into some design decisions that are impacted by the choice of PWM drive mode.
Using the web to learn more about this subject (having to perform the usual task of trying to sort out the good from the bad information : ), I ran across the “H-Bridge Secrets” site (modularcircuits.tantosonline.com … e-secrets/) and this site.
The “Secrets” site lists these modes -
Sign-Magnitude Drive, Lock Anti-Phase Drive, and Asynchronous Sign-magnitude Drive
In various areas on this site, I found these modes -
Sign-magnitude (drive-brake), Sign-magnitude (drive-coast), Variable braking (brake-coast), Locked-antiphase
I thought these were all the modes until by chance I ran across -
Phase Correct / Centre - Symmetric / Center Aligned / Symmetric PWM
Is there an accurate table / spreadsheet out there that details all the known modes (including alternate names) along with the pros / cons, typical usage, important equations,…?
Thank you,
