I wonder how many times I have made h-bridge for motor control. So I am writing this note to review them.
I started playing with motor controller starting with L293D motor controller module driven by ATmega328P microcontroller and the L298N motor controller module with Arduino. L293D is a quadruple half-H bridge device designed used to drive DC motors and Stepper motors. I used this L293D module to used built my first arduino bluetooth controlled car. I think before this I just used the BJT as the switches for the H-bridge. I wrote first about using MOSFET as switches in motor controller in the blog post H-bridge with P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for Arduino Robotics. How one can control the direction and speed of motor with H-bridge is explained in MOSFET H-Bridge for Motor Speed and Direction Control and its application is in How to Control Conveyor Belt with Arduino and H-Bridge Using a Potentiometer. Related to the motor controller I also wrote about current sensing in H-bridge. I first used a MOSFET driver IC in my note on Driving Motors with Arduino and TC4428 using MOSFET H-Bridge.
After the review of what notes and devices I have learned about power supply I will write about the TC4427 motor driver IC in my next note on power supply.
