Hi everone,
I have made a DC motor speed control with 4093 IC. but it doesnt work correctly. I use a 12V voltage as its supply, but when I change the value of the variable resistor, output voltage isnt beed changed. and so the speed of motor is the same.
I better say that the output voltage is always the same of supply..
I have inserted the schematic of circuit here..

whats the problem :( ?


thank you
Eric

Hello,

Do you have an oscilloscope?
Than you can measure the pulses on the output of the oscillator (pin3)
If that is working, you can check the gate of the mosfet.
If that is working, you can check the Vds.

Hello,

This is basicaly the schematic of the oscillator:



In your schematic the pins 1 and 2 are tied together.
Also the resistor is replaced by a fixed resistor and a potmeter with diodes to have different rise and fall times.

The circuit is a variable duty cycle oscillator, which applies pulse width modulation (PWM) to the motor.
You need lots of decoupling capacitance from +V to GND. At minimum, you should have a 100nF capacitor from pin 14 to pin 7. and several hundred microfarads from the + end of the motor to the source of the MOSFET. You may need more, depending on the layout and the wiring.
The MOSFET needs at least 10V gate drive to ensure full turn on.

thank u Bertus, and Ron.
Ron I have measured the voltage of the gate and its about 6V, whats the problem? can it be the cause of not changing the speed of motor??

thanks

What are you using to measure it with?
What was your power supply voltage when you made this measurement?
