Good bless you Mr. Lewis for all these educating videos! Learning a lot from them!
nice video, straight to the point.That exactly what i wanted to know before entering the exam. Thanks an i'll check your other videos and i hope they are as good as this one.
Great video. I was not sure how to use the 5V arduino to control a H bridge with Vin > 5V. This one solved my problem!
Great video! Got it working with my arduino... As a side note, I did a sine modulation with the arduino so I could get a better output with less harmonics...
Hello Sir. Thank you for sharing your projects, your knowledge, your experience.
Thank you so much for your tutorials! Please keep making them :).
Thank you so much! Great video! This is helping me so much with my project (arduino robot). Thanks again!
At 7:28 "another variation" From datasheet Vgs threshold is between 2 and 4 Volts; when the collector of Q5 (same for Q6) is in a range around half of the 12V voltage (like between 4 V and 12-4 = 8V) both Q1 and Q2 (same for Q3 and Q4) are ON, shorting the +12V to ground. Depending on the values of the gate resistors this would happen at least for a very short time during transitions from high to low and high to low (with the "right" resistor values it could happen all the time for a certain input level). When you connect gates together for complementary MOSFET transistors usually you connect sources together not drains. Doing that would limit the output range so not a solution in this case. Instead of connecting gates together, 2 resistors from gate Q1 to collector Q5 and from collector Q6 to gate Q2 would keep Q1 and Q2 being ON at the same time. Schematic as it is at 7:28 with drains together would be an acceptable design for supply voltages equal or less than |Q1 Vgs| + |Q2 Vgs| = 4 to 8 V (depending on actual transistors values) assuming that matches the voltage required for the motor, instead of 12V. Also at 11:09, if Q7 has a max Vce well above 24V, a well-calculated resistor (for example 2 times Rgs) could be an alternative solution instead of D1.
Thank you so much for this.. Best tutorial on H bridge's I Have seen so far.. I just learned of H bridges.. Ya, I know.. REALLY!!!!!! I am building a coil engine and have an arduino using Halleffect sensors to pick up the magnet on the fly wheel of the engine. I have a magnet on an aluminum shaft connected where the piston used to be. I built a pivot on my lathe that connects to the crank shaft and connects that shaft with a magnet on it together. I have guides that keep the shaft from tilting. above and below the magnet are power coils. The magnetic fields will face towards the magnets on the aluminum shaft. so depending on polarity from the circuit I can have 2 NORTH fields facing each other or 2 SOUTH fields facing each other. pushing and pulling the magnet at the same time. Been looking for a way to swap the field polarity without frying a circuit.. I am using HIGH amp coils. They can handle alot of amps. They are not wire coils. So I am looking for an H bridge design that can handle upwards of 300 amps.. So far the best mosfet's I have found can handle up to 280 amps. Thinking of getting them and making an H bridge with them. Using my arduino mega to control the upstroke and down stroke timing with the Hallsensors. I have my program made up with the RPM and timing and LCD display with my Voltage outputs of my pot(throttle) all set.. the engine.. Just an H bridge is all I need. There is a great deal more to my motor, but no one wants to hear the every detail. I am going to use this tutorial to make that H Bride.. You are a world of help.. I wouldn't mind your help if possible. If not thanks for the tutorial and keep up the help.. Sean

I just have to say that you do an extraordinary job of making it simple. May I suggest however that instead of zener diodes to protect the gate just used a resistor that will proportionally divide the voltage down with the bleed off resistor. Much cheaper.

Please take a look at 7:29. Node A connected to the 2 MOSFET is located between 2 resistors each of 10K. This is a voltage divider between 12V to ground, so you don't get 12V, at node A, but 6V, when the transistor Q5 is off! Please take a look if I am correct.

One more thing sir about the speed control nd the arduino schematics thank you sir
It is just an excellent tutorial on MOSFET switching. Many thanks.... Just a little issue on my head, at 11:40 shouldn't the Vcc on the right circuit be +24 V just like the one on the left? And also one more question, why your Ib and Ic currents are shown in reverse directions? Or at least, to me, it looks like reverse. I would say Ib should be pointing towards the base for an npn transistor.

Nice tutorial. One error though regarding 7:30: If you use the same value for Gate-Source resistors, 10kohm for example, when the bipolar transistors are off (Low and Low), then the gate-source voltage of all transistors will be 1/2 of the Vcc which in this case is 6V, which means all MOSFETs will be in a low impedance state, i.e. shorting Vcc to ground. I would remove the resistors between collector and emitter of the bipolar transistor (gate-source resistors for Q1 and Q3) for this to work.

Hello Lewis. Well, the H-bridge seems to be part of my solution to use in a Newman or Bedini motor/generator? Do you know where I can find a micro-controller controlled transistor/mosfet circuit for a Newman Motor? I want to control the duty cycle, frequency and pulse width with the micro-controller. I would also want to 'harvest' the back EMF from my driver coil into a capacitor bank to charge the secondary/charge battery ..... or am I asking too much?
Thank you very much
hii--- i want to simulate this full bridge mosfet drive with the help of a3921 please tell me which software is required for simulation
Just re-watched this and figured I'd add another comment. The 10k gate-bleed resistors on the N-channel (bottom) MOSFETS are nowhere near as 'important' as the resistors on the P-channel (top) MOSFETS if the N-channel gates are permanently connected to Arduino output pins. This is because Arduino output pins are true 'totem pole' outputs meaning that the pin is 'effectively' connected to either VCC or GND. Pulling the N-channel gates to GND using the Arduino output will be significantly lower than the 10k bleeder. (The only point to consider is that when the Arduino initially powers up, all of the pins are INPUTS until the Arduino code sets them to outputs) For those people building an H-bridge using bipolars (or perhaps MOSFETS that don't have a suitable body diode built in), you can use a bridge rectifier instead of the 4 external diodes - preferably a fairly 'fast' bridge rectifier...
Thank you.

The presentation and explanation is very nice but if you will try the circuit which has only two inputs it will blow your MOSFETS, because if you did not realize the PChannel MOSFETS are always connected to the ground( always on the ON state ) through the bleeder resistors of the N Channel MOSFETS...

Yeah that is how I have everything wired up currently, works great but there is no mode to put the motor into "coast" where its free running? Putting both signals high, or low, results in the motor connecting to itself in "brake" mode right? I need a 3 wire or something to open up all 4 transistors. I don't have enough space with my current project to use 4 individual control lines. I've tried some small motor driver IC packages that use 3 wires to control (FWD, REV, ENABLE) , but they were not enough amps. Not sure how to wire up the same features in my own.

Dear Sir, I am planning to use IRF4905 and IRL2505 to run a (brush) DC motor of 12V and 10 Amp. The questions are as follows: 1. Do I need additional diode?

Is it VBE(sat) ? 3.Do we really need (polarized) capacitor as shown in High - Side MOSFET Switch (11:46) and what is the capacity?

Thanks for your clear videos. I have IRF630N, but in general how to tell if Vgs is high enough to reduce Rds? Can we switch the 2n2222 to switch the 12V onto the gate of the MOSFET, to get higher effective Vgs and thus lower Rds??? Also, wouldn't such a buffer be needed for fast switching and minimizing losses during i.e. PWM? Thanks again!

Dear Mr. Lewis. I would like to make one of this to control a EM-257, nema 17, bipolar stepper motor that has a 0,7A nominal current and 7 V nominal voltage. This were removed from a Epson inkjet printer that uses IC`s that work with their 42V power supply. I connected the motors to a L239D module with 12V and the torque I get is probably enough, however I need to make another H bridge (as yours) because the L239D module max current is only 0,6A. Another option is to use a L293N module but I prefer to make one of yours to learn a bit more and to use recycled components. The problem I face is that I read everywhere of the necessity to control the current that goes to the motor, which is something I don't know how to do with a circuit like yours. Controlling the PWM signal is not really an option as the arduino controls that using the appropiate libraries (you just tell him what are the steps per revolution and the speed you want to achieve). Not using those libraries will be just too complicated coding for me. Pololu drivers come with a potentiometer, however I think the 4 pololu drivers I have come from one of the so many failed batches that are around in the market! Many thanks. Best Regards. Marcelo
Why not use 5v gate mosfets instead of high voltage P channel? The NDP6020P for instance.

The diodes are built into the MOSFETs are not shown.
There's something worthy to add when controlling an 'atypical' DC motor. Once such a motor is already SPINNING and then you REMOVE the source of power, the motor will become a GENERATOR until it spins down to zero RPM. This will take a FINITE time to happen. If you want the motor to 'spin-down' faster, then you can switch BOTH power inputs of the motor to some fixed potential (which can be ground OR the positive supply rail). The energy that is output by the spinning 'generator' is now shunted away (as heat) and thus the motor will stop spinning MUCH faster. (In a nutshell, this is a VERY rough description of how regenerative braking woks on a modern electric vehicle - eg: Tesla)

The actual current flow is negative to positive - electrons are the only free moving charges in a solid. That is how I was taught in the army. But everyone uses positive flow anyway. I went over to positive later on because that is what they use.
I have 9 phase driver circuit that I have built, complimentary mosfet arrangement. Since it has 9 phase total 9+9 = 18 mosfets, I need 18 signal output on my micro controller. But I don`t have that much! Other ( which I am working on) option, switching complimentary series with single pin. So I need to switch one pair(P-N) complimentary series one of them at once with single pin at High N-type, at low, P-Type. Since P-N type mosfets obvious problem when connecting their gates and expect them to switch on once at low and high signal, both of them switched and cause short! Because it is very clear that P type works with Low signal, N type works with High signal, while connecting their gates it causes both mosfets switch on condition with even no signal need! So I need to find a way to work with single pin with no short and fast switching in action. So what is your recommendation?

Other problem also, Pull down and up resistors! Since mosfet gate charging like capacitors, when connecting the resistors not right value, they do create different on-off duty cycle with rise and fall action. I need sharp switching so I gave up pull down resistor instead use pull down switching opto-coupler or transistor to use it when high signal, same value resistor on gate and low value the same. But to many components over crowded board also unwanted. I need a better suggestion also for that. My N type mosfet "DMTH6004SCTB " P type mosfet "SUM110P06-07L" thanks in advance.

Many youtube videos are project based which is good, but it can be hard to grasp the intricacies of the circuit. There were a couple of things I noted in other videos was that a resistor was used between the microcontroller and gate to slow down the activation/charging of the gate source capacitor which with the required activation charge would cause a current greater than the microcontroller could supply. Was that just because of the N channel mosfet selected (Think it was IRFZ44NP)? Your video kzread.info/dash/bejne/e56b2K2DoqS1g5c.html did not include resistor between microcontroller and mosfet,though did for bjt pre p channel mosfet. At was power )drain source) do you have to consider a heatsink, and how big should it be? I am sorry if these are already mentioned in other videos.
sorry mr there is a wrong in circuit at 9:30 the above transistors Q2 and Q4 will be ahigh in all state even the Q5 and Q6 be off because there is adrope voltage across the butom resistors and this drope lower than vcc so keep Q2 and Q4 on in all cases ....thanx

With no input Q2 & Q4 are off and Q1 & Q3 are on.
Can these drivers be used with PWM inputs instead of constant voltage?

Martin L I believe this depends on the switching speed of the mosfets but generally yes
Hello! What adjustments should be made to this circuit if the motor load is rated at 50V and 1Amp.

I'll do a video on this to explain it. It is simple.

Thank you so much. Could I potentially use Optocoupler instead of transistors?

Yes as long as the collector-emitter breakdown is high enough.
I tried this with different semiconductors and it seemed to work all be it some loss in power. When I tried adapting it for both directions it didn't work. Because less power than the motor needed. So I guess it did work. I'm thinking I did something wrong. May I discuss this with you and show you my diagram and what I used. I did end up using a roboclaw. I just can't drop this.
