Motor Driver Circuit using IC TC4424

Motor Driver Circuit using IC TC4424 chip good for DC motor control.

It drives 2 MOSFETs, works fast and only few extra parts are needed.

Circuit is easy to build and can control motor spin direction.

It power 10 to 18V DC which depends on motor.

Motor current must be under 100mA.

Circuit Working:

Parts List:

TC4424 chip IC is fast dual driver for MOSFET and is good for DC motor control.

Control signal chooses motor spin way.

POWER and DIRECTION inputs have pull-down resistors R1 and R2 for stable work.

Direction HIGH motor spin one way.

Direction LOW motor spin other way.

Diodes D1 to D4 stop back EMF from motor.

Capacitors C1 and C2 cut noise and keep chip steady.

Circuit works with 10 to 18V DC and is good for many DC motor jobs.

Formulas:

Below are the formulas for Simple Motor Driver Circuit using IC TC4424:

Power:

P = V × I

where,

• V is for supply voltage
• I is for motor current.

Motor current:

I = V / R

where,

• R is motor resistance.
