H-bridge transistors are too hot

I ran a quick simulation... X1 is a Darlington transistor used as follower, so its Vce will be 2*Vbe plus voltage drop in R1, so about 1.5V. With 400mA through the load it dissipates 0.6W. With the i …

How to calculate or select capacitor value for this H-bridge?

It depends on what you're doing with the motor. If all the MOSFETs in the H-bridge are off, and the motor is turning, then it will act as a generator. The MOSFET body diodes will act as rectifiers, an …

Poor efficiency of an H-bridge

Datasheet says: "Effective Output Capacitance, Energy Related" = 15pF Coss (Cds+Cgd) capacitance is charged from the power supply every time the FET turns off, which stores some energy. When the FET t …

Failing diodes and shorting NMOS and PMOS in H-bridge at 19A

Three problems: 1N4004 is rated to 1A, not 20A. And it is too slow. You can use the FET body diodes instead. They should not conduct often if the FETs are driven synchronously, so there should be no …

Bulletproof H-Bridge

If the 24V is really 24V, and not automotive 24V than can get a lot higher, I'd use a pair of cheap half-bridge MOSFET drivers with integrated adaptive dead time like NCP5901, ADP3120, ADP3110, etc. I …

H-Bridge with highly inductive load

Besides all the issues pointed out by rdtsc, bipolar transistors in a H-bridge with an inductive load absolutely need a free-wheeling diode across each transistor. Otherwise, when they turn off, the k …

H-bridge gate driver for an ESP32

Am I using too many components for an Engine like this? No, if you want to change direction you need a H-bridge. Is This 10k Necessary for P Channel? Can't say without reading driver datasheet. I …

MC33887: Zener diode on output avalanche protection

The chip has internal MOSFETs with body diodes that will act as rectifiers, so when the motor acts as generator, or produces back-EMF, the energy will be sent into the power supply. Protection measure …

Sensing voltage drop across the load in the H bridge

If you apply a lowpass filter to the measured voltage, the result will be averaged, and it will be proportional to duty cycle. If you then use a microcontroller SAR ADC to acquire it, since there will …

An inverter without a transformer?

boost converter which will boost the 12V to 120V, Transformer will be much more efficient and cheaper than boost converter for that high output/input voltage ratio. Say you need 120V 10A, if it is 1 …

Is the DC-Link capacitor (C1,C2) necessary in cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter to achie...

Suppose the load is inductive, like a motor. T2 T3 are ON, and current flows according to the arrows. Now T2 T3 turn off, but current in the inductive load does not drop to zero, it keeps flowing acc …

Why does my MIC4605 keep blowing up?

On your layout the decoupling cap (finger-painted red) is very far away from the chip, there is a 5R resistor in series (purple) and the current loop area (highlighted in yellow) is quite large. Th …

Electromagnetic 7-segment flip display: H-Bridge alternatives?

I tried using a Raspberry Pi with 14 x L298N Dual H-Bridge Driver Modules to run the electromagnets and it usually works, but there's a lot of wiring involved with the H-Bridge modules, making faul …
