Controlling DC Brush Motor with H-Bridge Driver ICs

From ROHM Semiconductor, USA LLC
 

 

DC brush motors are increasingly required for a broad range of applications including robotics, portable electronics, sporting equipment, appliances, medical devices, automotive applications, power tools and many others. The motor itself is a preferred alternative because it is simple, reliable and low cost. Equally important, advanced, fully-integrated "H-bridge" ICs are available to control the motor's direction, speed and braking.
