summary
This controller feeds the analog railway system with PWM impulses, with fixed amplitude (12 - 14V) and variable width. This means that the output voltage goes from 0 to 12-14V and back to 0 with a 25 kHz frequency.
Do NOT use it to drive digital locomotives, until you change the C1 capacitor with a 470nF one! This will lower the frequency of the PWM, so that the digital decoders will know for sure that they work on an analog railway sistem.
- overcurrent above 1a and short circuit protected,
- it can be used wit reverse polarity kipp switch for change direction
- also no heatsink is needed for BD651 and LM7809, and all capacitors are ceramic, all resistors with at least 0.4w wattage
so my problem....
I have checked board for 7 time literary. All connections on board are like on scheme.
Potentiometer doesn't working, stuck to 14v as input. No min or max.
Readings are 14v on output. Led dont lit. Motor dead on 14 DC voltage
No cold solder joints also.
Output and input are not short connected.
Positive input is on + rail (checked). Negative input is on - rail
5-6-7-8-9 cd4093 to ground . 4 and 10 free pins
Q1: BD651 transistor
Q2: BC547
C1: 1nF capacitor
C2: 0.33 microF capacitor
C3: 0.1 microF capacitor
D1 and D2: 1N4148 diodes
D3: 1N4007 general usage diode
R1: 2.2 KOhm resistor
R2: 2.7 KOhm resistor
R3: 0.68 Ohm resistor
R4: 1 KOhm resistor
P1: 100 KOhm potentiometer linear mono
Maybe pot is wrong connected ?...i dunno...capacitors dont have polarity also.
