OMG, my son and I have been struggling with an H-bridge controller for an electromagnet for days. We finally got it working last night with the addition of p-channel mosfets but then discovered if the input voltage went over 8v it started to short out. Thanks to you, I now know we need a hi/lo ic driver! In the interest of time we'll probably go with an off the shelf solution for now but this was a great, relatively inexpensive, learning experience. Thanks for working out all the bugs and posting this!
Hi Lewis I have tested his design and it works very well. I have however made some changes both hardware and software. As Mosfet I used some IRF1405 which are higher in current for my needs. I made these changes to the software: 1) moved the arduino output pins to 3 and 11, this to be able to set a PWM frequency 31000 Hz without interfering with the Delay and Millis functions which would otherwise be altered by modifying the PWM frequency on pins 5 and 6 of the original soft.. 2) to change the PWM frequency I simply added this line in 'void setup' TCCR2B = TCCR2B & B11111000 | B00000001; // for PWM frequency of 31372.55 Hz in pins 3 and 11. The basic pwm frequency in 'digitalWrite' is low (about 900 Hz), the motors produce noise, and at high rotation speeds with the frequency modification they maintain greater torque and no noise, the Mos work even better. Yours is a great project, thanks for sharing it.
On the bottom right side of the 10ohm resistors...Are those components pull down resistors?? I don't see those components on your schematic..thank you..
I made an h-bridge basically utilizing this schematic to power some 120vdc (250-300w) motors I have. It works great for lower voltages such as 24v, but when powering higher voltage motors, I am getting some blown mosfets when powering off while the motor is spinning. Would redundant diodes across the mosfets help this failure? Mosfets are 600v 10a rated. Thanks for your helpful video!

thank you for this project. one question : how the cp capacitor going to charge and discharge while your code state that low side gate either a constant high or a constant low ? as i know for the cp to charge and discharge we need to inject high side with pwm and the low side with it is inverted one
For the bootstrap gate supply you need PWM to charge the cap, I get that. For the low side however, is PWM required? For example to get a 4 quadrant motor control with regen, you just run one of the two low side devices with the high side off. I also realize your code is just going for simplified H bridge motoring and not braking. Just figured I'd ask before I let some magic smoke out.
Sir, Question on HiIN and LoIn of ir2110. Shouldn’t there be a pause between the signal? Otherwise is there a chance that both mosfet gets open at the same time. HiIN and Loin are 180 degree apart from eachother.
Everybody note I ran some more tests. The gate voltage VCC can also be the the motor power voltage. I tested it at 12 and 15 volts and it worked fine. Do not exceed 15V for VCC.
Hi @@LewisLoflin , I wonder if I can drive a 90V DC motor with this circuit?. Also I have doubt with one of your answers. You said that circuit only need PWM signal on the high side gate activation MOSFET but when we interconnected HIN to LIN you also have a PWM in the low side gate activation MOSFET, is this a problem for the correct operation of the h-bridge?.
were the outputs sinusoidal enough? im thinking of making a project on resonant inductive power transfer. will it be fine to use a coil instead of a motor used in this circuit. thanks

@@LewisLoflin That's even more good news. Looking forward to the follow up video. You mentioned it needed to be pulse width modulated but gave no specifics.

@@tenlittleindians That is on the webpage. The HIGH side MOSFET or HIN on the schematic must be pulse-width modulated. That is what controls the charging action of the 0.22uF bootstrap capacitor Cb.
@@LewisLoflin I found the link in your drop-down after trying the dead link web address posted on the schematic within the video.

Looking forward to visiting your website and reading up on this. Thank you for the in depth explanation. Take care mate.
Thanks for making video on IR2110
Is the motor noise coming from the PWM frequency? Probably a PWM frequency above the audible range would help to get a quieter solution.
will the IR2110 work to realize a Buck converter? thanks.
fffffffffffffThank you so much for the details. As a beginner on Ardunio, this video will help me greatly to create a half bridge circuit.

The 10A rating is the MOSFET D-S not the diode. Try a higher current diode across the MOSFETs it can't hurt.

PWM isn't needed for the lower MOSFET.

The output is a square wave.
It is possible to connect pin 9 with pin 3 with the same voltage (12 volts, for example)
Yes. if VDD is rated 5-15V, the voltage isn't exceeded.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Excellent. What frequency did you use to create the pwm? Sound like under 10KHz because of the beeeep sound from the motor. Thanks
It was the normal PWM from an Arduino nano.
@@LewisLoflin what value? Thanks.
@@Ferrotandil Don't understand the question. The PWM frequency is fixed by Arduino.
