Basic Theory: Ohms law
• Power = Voltage * Current• Voltage = Current * Resistance
Examples:.5A * 10 ohms = 5v5v * .5A = 2.5 watts.5v / .05 ohms = 10a10a * .5v = 5 watts
Power = Current^2 * resistance

Basic Theory: Inductors
• V = L * dI/dT - What does that mean???
• Current rises indefinitely based upon inductance and voltage.

Basic Theory: Real Inductors
• Real inductors have resistance• Current * resistance = voltage• Eventually current levels out• Strength of magnetic field + level of stored energy
are proportional to the current.

Basic Theory: Inductors
• What happens when switch is opened?
• Current dissipates quickly in the ARC

Basic Theory: Inductors• Diodes used to suppress arcing• Recirculating currents dissipate slower
• Note: current continues to flow in inductor• Power is dissipated across diode & inductor
internal resistance.

Basic Theory: PMDC motor• PMDC motors can be modeled as
an inductor, a voltage source and a resistance.
• Torque is proportional to the current
• The internal voltage source is proportional to the RPM (Back-EMF)
• Stall current/max torque is proportional to the internal resistance.

How H-Bridge Works
•This represents traditional PWM motor control•Note low average current flow

H-Bridge: Synchronous Rectification
•Use switches instead of diodes•Much more efficient, regenerative braking
![Page 11: H-Bridge Demystified Basic electronic theory How H-Bridges work](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b027f8b9ab059986f98/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
H-Bridge Locked-Antiphase• Pro: one line needed for forward/reverse• Con: higher frequencies needed
![Page 12: H-Bridge Demystified Basic electronic theory How H-Bridges work](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062223/5a4d1b027f8b9ab059986f98/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Locked Antiphase
• Voltage swings from +V to –V• No rectification needed• Current ripple twice as large
