Classification and Application of Drivers
The driver is a crucial part of the motor control system, responsible for converting control signals into electrical energy output
to drive the motor to operate normally. According to the different types and application scenarios of motors, drivers can be divided into
brushed motor drivers, brushless motor drivers, stepper motor drivers, and servo motor drivers.
The brushed motor driver is driven by an H-bridge circuit, which consists of a core circuit H-bridge and some peripheral circuits
to form a DC brushed motor driver. Brushed motor drivers are divided into integrated circuit form and discrete component form.
The H-bridge in the form of integrated circuits is suitable for applications with small to medium power requirements, while the
H-bridge in the form of discrete components is suitable for applications with high or ultra-high power requirements. It should be noted
that the pins of MCU cannot directly drive MOS transistors and other components,
and a dedicated MOS transistor driver chip needs to be added.
Brushless motor drivers also use H-bridge circuits for driving, but each phase is driven by a half bridge circuit, requiring a
total of three half bridges. Brushless motor
drivers are also divided into integrated circuit form and discrete component form, but the discrete component form only separates
the half bridge circuit. Brushless motor drivers can achieve commutation operations and are suitable for applications that require high precision.
