A speed controller circuit uses MOSFETs or IGBTs to control the speed of a DC Motor. A standard motor driver module gives a maximum current of up to 2 Amps. This current is not sufficient to run high power motors. So a separate controller is designed using transistors. These controller circuits fabricated on custom-made PCB from PCBWay can handle the current even up to 40 A safely.

POWERFUL H-BRIDGE DC MOTOR DRIVER
In this project, the speed controller drives a windscreen wiper DC motor. The controller is built on a rectangle PCB, ordered from PCBWay. An Arduino Uno board provides the necessary controlling signals to the controller. The duty cycle is varied using the push-buttons provided on the keypad. And the PWM pulse obtained can be seen on the oscilloscope. The controller is efficient in running, braking, and changing the direction of rotation. The current-carrying capability of the PCB board is high with minimal heat losses.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
- Power MOSFET (IRF3205)
- MOSFET driver (IR2104)
- DC Motor
- Arduino Uno
- Resistors
- Capacitors
- Diodes
- Push-buttons

DC MOTOR DRIVER USING L293d
The speed controller used here consists of an L293d IC with a custom motor driver made using transistors. Built on a custom made PCB, ordered from PCBWay. This combination is suitable for low and medium power circuits. The controller efficiently drives three motors in forward and reverse directions. The controller receives the controlling signals from a microcontroller. If the current required by the external load is low, then the circuit allows the operation of L293d alone. For moderate current requirements, both motor drivers serve the purpose.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
- L293d IC
- Transistors
- Resistors
- Capacitors
- LEDs
- PCB board

PWM DC MOTOR SPEED CONTROLLER CIRCUIT USING NE555
This project is simple than the projects discussed above. It allows speed control using NE555 IC. The IC and other components are assembled on a PCB board, ordered from PCBWay. A potentiometer varies the speed of the motor. As the duty cycle increases, the rotation of the motor increases. The input and output current waveforms are viewed by attaching an oscilloscope to the PCB board. The circuit is compact, simple, and used for low power motors. PWM has advantages over discrete switching in the case of inertial loads like motors. For a smooth output waveform, the switching frequency must be higher.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
- NE555 IC
- Transistors
- Potentiometer
- Diodes
- Capacitors
- Resistors
PCB DETAILS
The PCB is simple to design. The fabricated PCB received from PCBWay is shown in the figure below.
On soldering the necessary components, the PCB board looks like this.
Although the PCB board looks compact, it is highly efficient for driving small loads.
