This circuit uses NMOS field effect tube as power output device, designs and realizes a high-power DC motor H-bridge drive circuit, and carries on closed-loop control to 25D60-24A DC motor with rated voltage of 24 volts and rated current of 3.8A.

1 Introduction
  Dc motor has excellent speed regulation characteristics, smooth speed regulation, convenient, wide speed regulation range, strong overload capacity, can achieve frequent stepless rapid start, braking and reversal, to meet the production process of the automation system of various special operation requirements, so in the field of industrial control, DC motor has been widely used.
  Many semiconductor companies have introduced special DC motor driver chips, but most of these chips are only suitable for low-power DC motors, and their integrated chips are expensive for high-power DC motor drivers. Based on this, this paper analyzes and discusses the possible problems in the design of high power DC motor drive circuit, and designs and implements a DC motor drive circuit based on 25D60-24A. The circuit has high driving power and strong anti-interference ability, and has wide application prospect.


2 H bridge power drive circuit design
  In the DC motor, GTR collector output type and emitter output drive circuit can be used to drive the motor, but they are irreversible variable speed control, the current can not reverse, no braking ability, can not reverse drive, the motor can only rotate in one direction, so this drive circuit is greatly limited. For reversible variable speed control, H-bridge complementary symmetrical drive circuit is the most widely used. The reversible drive allows the current to reverse, which can realize the four-quadrant operation of the DC motor and effectively realize the positive and reverse control of the motor. The motor speed control mainly has three kinds, adjusting the armature voltage, weakening the excitation flux, changing the armature circuit resistance. The three methods have advantages and disadvantages, changing the armature circuit resistance can only achieve graded speed regulation, weakening the magnetic flux can achieve smooth speed regulation, but the speed range of this method is not large, and it is generally used with variable voltage speed regulation. Therefore, in the DC speed control system, variable voltage speed control is mainly used, and the armature voltage is changed by adjusting the duty ratio of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal, so as to achieve smooth speed regulation of the motor.


2.1 Driving principle of H bridge
  To control the positive and negative rotation of the motor, it is necessary to provide the positive and negative voltage to the motor, which requires a four-way switch to control the voltage of the two inputs of the motor. When switches S1 and S4 are closed, the current flows from the left end of the motor to the right end of the motor, and the motor rotates in one direction; When the switches S2 and S3 are closed, the current flows from the right end of the motor to the left end of the motor, and the motor rotates in the other direction. The equivalent circuit diagram of the H-bridge driving principle is shown in Figure 1.

FIG. 1 H-bridge driving principle circuit diagram
2.2 Selection of switching devices and H-bridge circuit design
  Commonly used electronic switching devices are relays, transistors, MOS tubes, IGBT and so on. Ordinary relays are mechanical devices with limited switching times and slow switching speed. And the relay is inductive load, the interference to the circuit is relatively large. However, the relay can separate the control part from the controlled part to realize the control of the big signal by the small signal, and the relay is often used in high voltage control. The transistor is a current-driven device, the base current is IB, the collector current is IC, the amplification factor of the transistor is β, if IB*β>=IC, the transistor is in a saturated state, can be used as a switch. To make the triode in the switching state, IB= IC/β, the current of the triode driver tube is proportional to the current at the output end of the triode, if the output current of the triode is relatively large, the requirements for the triode driver end are relatively high. MOS tube is a voltage driven device. For NMOS, as long as the gate voltage is higher than the source voltage, the saturation conduction of NMOS can be achieved. The energy loss of MOS tube on and off is only the charge and discharge of the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the source, and the driving end of MOS tube is not high. At the same time, the MOS terminal can achieve a large current output, so it is generally used in places where large currents are required. IGBT is a device that combines the advantages of triode and MOS tube, and is generally used for more than 200V.
  In this design, the working current of the motor is 3.8A, the working voltage is 24V, the control end of the motor drive is 51 series single-chip microcomputer, and the maximum filling current is 30mA. Therefore, MOS tube is used as the switching device of H bridge. MOS tubes are divided into NMOS and PMOS, and the manufacturing process of the two tubes is different, and the control method is different. NMOS switching requires the gate voltage to be greater than the source voltage (10V-15V), while PMOS switching requires the gate voltage to be less than the source voltage (10V-15V). In this design, 24V single power supply is used, and the on-off control of NMOS tube is shown in Figure 2. As long as the G-pole voltage is within the range of 10-15V, NMOS tube can be saturated and switched off. When the G-pole voltage is 0, NMOS tube will be turned off.

FIG. 2 NMOS wiring diagram
  When PMOS tube is used to realize on-off control, its wiring is shown in Figure 3, and PMOS is turned off when the G pole voltage is equal to the power supply voltage VCC.

FIG. 3 PMOS wiring diagram
  According to the IR2103 application manual, bootstrap capacitor selection depends on the following factors: 1. Requirements for enhanced gate voltage of MGT, 2. IQBS for high-end drive circuits - static current, 3. Internal Current of Level converter, 4. Mgt-gate-source forward Leakage current, 5. Bootstrap capacitor leakage current. Factor 5 is only relevant when the bootstrap capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor and can be ignored if other types of capacitors are used. The minimum bootstrap capacitance can be calculated by the following formula (1) :

  Among them: Qg = gate charge of high-end FET, f = operating frequency, ICbs (leak) = bootstrack capacitance leakage current, Iqbs (max) = maximum VBS static current, VCC = voltage source of logic circuit, Vf = forward voltage drop of bootstrack diode, VLS = low end FET or voltage drop on load, VMin = minimum voltage between VB and VS, Qls = charge required for level conversion per cycle (typically 5nC for 500V/600V MGD, and 20 nC for 1200V MGD).
  In the figure, D1 is the bootstrap diode and C4 is the bootstrap capacitor. The larger the value of the capacitor, the better. The value of the capacitor is closely related to the operating frequency of IR2103. The larger the value of the capacitor, the lower the operating frequency. The leakage current of the capacitor has a great influence on the performance of the system. The bootstrap diode has to withstand all the voltage of the system, and the forward voltage drop of the bootstrap diode also affects the selection of the bootstrap capacitor, and the switching speed of the bootstrap diode also directly affects the operating frequency of the system. The boost waveform of the bootstrap circuit obtained from the oscilloscope is shown in Figure 7 below:

Figure 7 Boost waveform of bootstrap circuit
  Part B in the figure is the voltage at the VB end after the self-lifting voltage, and part A in the figure is because in the process of shutting off the upper tube, due to the parasitic diode in the lower tube, a subsequent current will be produced, resulting in a negative voltage at the VS end, thus making the capacitor overcharged. To reduce the overcharge of the capacitor, a bootstrap capacitor above 0.47uF can be used, and a continuous current diode can be added to the ground and VS terminals. As shown in the picture below:

Figure 8 Adding a continuous current diode circuit to IR2103.
  In the figure, D2 is the continuous current diode, and the continuous current diode can be used as an ordinary diode, but the faster the VS voltage recovery, the less obvious the phenomenon of boot-up capacitor overcharge. This system uses 1N4148 as the continuous current diode.
  Due to the inductance generated by the lead between the driver and the MOSFET gate, the lead of the ground loop, etc., as well as the parasitic inductance inside the IC and FET, the MOSFET gate will ring when opened, which increases the switching loss of the MOSFET on the one hand, and the EMC is not well controlled. A resistor is connected in series between the gate of the MOSFET and the output of the driver IC (as shown by B in Figure 9). This resistor is called the "gate resistor ", and its role is to adjust the switching speed of the MOSFET, reduce the gate ringing phenomenon, reduce EMI, and can also play a current limiting role in the charge and discharge of the gate capacitor. The introduction of this resistance slows down the switching speed of the MOS tube, but reduces EMI and makes the gate stable.

Figure 9 Cancel ringing circuit.
  The turn-off time of the MOS tube is slower than the turn-on time (turn on the charge, turn off the discharge), so it is necessary to change the turn-off speed of the MOS tube. A diode can be reversed in parallel on the gate resistance (as shown in Figure 9). When the MOS tube is turned off, the diode will be on, and the gate resistance will be short-circuited to reduce the discharge time. Since there may be negative voltage at the VS end, a suitable resistor in series at the VS end can play a current limiting role when generating negative voltage. For the load motor as an inductive device, it is necessary to have a small capacitor at the output end of the H-bridge and add a de-coupling capacitor in the local power supply part. Its circuit is shown below:

Figure 10 Current limiting decoupling circuit.
  In the figure, C7 is the local decoupling capacitor, which can be taken as 100uF, and C6 is the output capacitor, which takes a value according to the load. Due to the capacitive bootstrapping circuit, the capacitor will discharge itself during the working process, so the duty cycle of the PWM wave is close to 100% but cannot reach 100%. However, this does not affect the normal operation of the motor, because of the inherent characteristics of the motor itself, the motor has a small saturation area, even if the duty cycle increases, its speed will not change significantly. Therefore, the above circuits fully meet the needs of the work.

3 Hardware Testing

  In order to test the performance of the driver, 25D60-24V DC motor is selected for closed-loop control. The rated power of the motor is 60W, the rated speed is 2800rpm, the rated voltage is 24V, and the rated current is 3.8A. The maximum speed of the motor can reach 2910rpm, the minimum speed of the motor starting is 44rpm, and there is no obvious heating phenomenon when the rotation is blocked. In order to test the stability of the circuit, the motor works for more than 8 hours for three consecutive days, and the heat of the circuit is small; In order to test the impact resistance and anti-interference ability of the circuit, the system is switched between on and off continuously for many times, and there is no fault in the circuit work; In addition, the system can work normally under sudden increase of load. Therefore, it fully meets the needs of the drive, and in the design process, in order to prevent the sudden rise of the starting and braking current, the circuit has a large current redundancy, the highest current in the circuit can reach 8A, effectively ensuring the stability of the circuit, and has a strong anti-interference ability.


4 Conclusion
  In this paper, a kind of high power DC motor drive circuit is designed and implemented. From the selection of devices to the realization of the system, various problems that may occur in the circuit design process are analyzed and discussed in detail, and the above problems are solved through theoretical calculation and engineering practice. The circuit has strong robustness and wide practicability, and is especially suitable for driving high-power DC motors.
  10V<VCC-Vg<15 when the PMOS is turned on. When VCC>15V, to make the PMOS conduction, the G pole voltage is VCC-15V. The on-off and off of PMOS are switched between the power supply voltage VCC and VCC-15V, and the control is inconvenient when the power supply voltage VCC is larger. Comparing FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, we can see that NMOS is located below the load, while PMOS is located above the load. By replacing the switches in FIG. 1 with NMOS and PMOS, the H-bridge composed of MOS tubes can be formed, as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 H-bridge composed of PMOS and NMOS tubes
  Q1 and Q4 are on, the motor rotates in one direction, and Q2 and Q3 are on the motor rotates in the other direction. In this system, the working voltage of the motor is 24V, that is, the power supply voltage is 24V, then the on-off voltage of the upper tube (PMOS) of the H-bridge is 24V-15V=9V and 24V, respectively, and for the lower tube (NMOS), The on-off and off voltages are 15V and 0V respectively, and the control circuit used is more complicated to open and turn off the upper and lower tubes at the same time. Moreover, the PMOS made by the same process has a smaller operating current than NMOS, and the cost of PMOS is high. Using PMOS and NMOS as upper and lower tubes respectively, the symmetry of the circuit is not good. Because of the above problems, only NMOS is used as the power switching device in the construction of H-bridge. The H bridge built with NMOS is shown in Figure 5:

Figure 5 H-bridge composed of NMOS tube
  FIG. 5 In the H-bridge composed of NMOS tubes, the pathway composed of Q1 and Q4 is first analyzed. When Q1 and Q4 are turned off, the potential at point A is in a "suspended" state (uncertain potential) (Q2 and Q3 are also turned off). Before turning on Q4, first turn on Q1, give the G pole of Q1 15V voltage, because point A "suspended" state, then point A can be any level, which may cause Q1 to fail to turn on; After turning on Q4, try to turn on Q1. Before turning on Q1, point A is low potential, add 15V voltage to the G pole of Q1, and turn on Q1. Because Q1 is saturated and switched on, the level of point A is equal to the power supply voltage (24V in this system). At this time, the G pole voltage of Q1 is less than the S pole voltage of Q1, Q1 is turned off, and Q1 fails to open. Q2 and Q3 are similar to Q1 and Q4. To open the upper tube of the H-bridge composed of NMOS, it is necessary to deal with the "suspension" problem of point A (that is, the S pole of the upper tube). Since the S pole of the NMOS is generally grounded, it is called "floating ground ". To make the upper tube NMOS open, the G pole of the upper tube must have a voltage difference of 10-15V relative to the floating ground, which requires the use of a booster circuit.

2.3 H-bridge controller
  In the drive of H bridge, in addition to considering the boost circuit of the upper tube, it is also necessary to consider that the upper tube and the lower tube (Q1 and Q3 in Figure 5) with the same arm of the H bridge cannot be switched on at the same time. If the upper tube and the lower tube are on at the same time, it is equivalent to a short circuit from the power supply to the ground, which may burn the MOS tube or the power supply, even if the short circuit phenomenon for a short time will cause the MOS heat. In power control, the method of inserting a "dead zone" in two state transitions is generally used to prevent instantaneous short circuits. When selecting the H-bridge controller, it is best to meet the above two logic conditions and use a large enough drive current to drive the NMOS.
  In this system, IR2103 is used as NMOS controller, IR2103 has integrated booster circuit inside, and only needs a bootstrap capacitor and a bootstrap diode outside to complete the bootstrap boost. The IR2103 has an internal dead zone riser, which can be inserted during each state transition, while ensuring that the state of the upper and lower tubes is opposite. The H-bridge half-bridge circuit composed of IR2103 and NMOS is shown in Figure 6 below:
