Slide 2
MOSFETs in Switching

Switching properties
 Off
 When they’re off, they’re off
 Gate-source voltage must be below threshold voltage
 On
 When they’re on, the drain-source resistance is very, very
low
 The achieved on resistance is a function of the drive voltage
 Drive must be much higher than the threshold voltage

5 Volts drive provides sufficient drive

N-Channel
Sophomore Clinic II
P-Channel
Slide 4
Conclusion

Typical characteristics from the IRC data sheets
 N-channel is IRFZ24N
 P-channel is IRF9Z24NPbF

Data sheet shows
 N-channel on resistance of 1/8 Ohm
 P-channel on resistance of 2/5 Ohm
 Both limit current to about 2.5 A


Good to go for Sophomore Clinic Project motor
drives
A good choice for magnet drive – switch directly
from the PIC

Slide 5
Pin-Out of the H-Bridge Board

Power connector
 +5
Volts, ground from the rails
 Power to the motors comes from here
Connectors for the motors
 Three redundant ground connections
 Eight lines to the PIC board

Slide 7
The H-Bridge Drive

The MOSFETs are complementary – The Pchannel is driven by the reverse polarity signal
to the gate
 +5 Volts is OFF
 Ground is ON


We want to drive them form the PIC hardware,
not the software
Solution
 We
 We
 We
use the PWM output of the PIC
use the motor direction toggle from the PIC
drive the H-bridge with hardware using these
signals

The Chips
CMOS to provide full 5 Volt swing on logic
one
 4000 series to allow use in other circuits
up to 15 Volts
 Two-chip solution for both motors

 CD4011
or MC14011 quad NAND
 CD4069 or MC14069 hex inverter

TAKE YOUR TIME – TRIPLE CHECK EVERY CONNECTION!
Errors here can cause permanent damage to the uC board and/or H-Bridge!
