Speed Control of DC Motor Using PWM

This document describes how to build a 555 timer circuit to control the speed of a DC motor using pulse-width modulation. It provides the required components, steps to build the circuit on a PCB, and notes that it can also be used as an LED dimmer. Building the circuit takes about 1 hour and involves printing a PCB layout, drilling holes, placing components, soldering, and connecting a DC motor to test speed control with a potentiometer.

TOPIC NAME

Speed control of DC motor using


PWM With 555 IC

Description:
In this 555 timer project, I have shown how to make speed control of DC
motor using PWM with a 555 timer IC circuit. You can control the speed of
any DC motors like 775 or 555 motors with this 555 timer circuit.

This 555 timer circuit also can be use as the LED dimmer circuit
Motor Speed Controller circuit with 555

The circuit is very simple, I have used 555 IC and some basic electronics
components to make this speed control of dc motor using PWM.
Here I have used TIP122 NPN power transistor, but you can also use
IRFZ44N mosfet.
The collector current of the transistor or drain current of the MOSFET
should be greater than the DC motor MAX current rating.

About PCBWay and their services


PCBway is a very well-known PCB manufacturer for various types of PCB boards
at very reasonable prices. They not only produce FR-4 and Aluminum boards, but
also advanced PCBs like Rogers, HDI, Flexible and Rigid-Flex boards.
At PCBWay, all the boards pass through the most stringent tests other than the
basic visual check. They use different testing and inspecting equipment, such
as Flying Probe Tester, X-Ray Inspection Machine, Automated Optical
Inspection (AOI) Machine, etc to make sure the quality of the final product is
good.

How to make 555 timer circuit on PCB


Time needed: 1 hour
Steps for making the volt level indicator circuit on PCB:

1 Print the PCB Layout and stick it on Acrylic sheet or cardboard


While printing please check the PCB dimension mentioned in the PCB layou
2 Drill the holes for the components on the PCB

Here I have used 1-mm drill bit for drilling on PCB

3 Place the components as shown on the PCB layout

Place all the components on the PCB as shown on the layout.


4 Connect all components as shown on the PCB Layout.
Here I have use the leads of components.

5 Solder all the components on PCB


6 The PCB for PWM 555 Timer circuit is ready.

Connect the DC Motor


1 Connect any DC motor and give the 12 Volt DC supply at input.
2 Now you can easily control the speed of the DC motor by rotating the
potentiometer.
3 As this circuit use PWM, so this is also energy efficient.
LED Dimmer with 555 circuit

We can also use this circuit as LED dimmer to control the brightness of LED
lights.
