FPGA DC Motor Control Circuit


Posted on Feb 6, 2014

An issue with CPLD and FPGA devices is that they have so many I/O pins that their schematics become overwhemlingly HUGE very quickly. I tried my best to partition out different sections of the schematic to show the motor control circuit, a-to-d converter circuit and left-over LED output circuit. The motor control circuit is the main focus as it i

s the new addition to this board. As you can see in the schematic, we`re basically wiring things up to power, ground and 2 wires go to the CPLD. A capacitor is added near the motor controller IC to make sure that it can provide a steady flow of current to the motors. This circuit is unchanged from the CPLD A-to-D article. The MAX150 is in a constantly converting mode whenever the WR pin is asserted it updates. The CPLD takes care of this for us. This circuit is also left over from the previous article, but I feel it makes a great addition as we can output the PWM signal to the LEDs as well as to the motor controller, this way we can really see the direction/speed control in two forms: in motor movement and in LED`s brightness.
