Hi frns!!
I'm a second year student and currently working on project that controls the speed of the DC motor using microcontrole 'PIC'.
Speed of the motor is fedback to the PIC using opto-encoder which converts analog value of speed into digital value.
Comparing the dutycycle of actual speed with that of the refernce speed, a new wave of different dutycycle is generated using PIC. It is send to a motor drive which inturn controls the power supply of the motor accordingly.
I'm facing a small trouble in using the motor drive for that. Someone suggested me to use IC ULM2803 for this purpose. It controls the output current depending upon the input wave (Input- PIC, Output- DC motor) and Supplies the variable current to the motor and hence helps in maintaing a constant speed in case extra load is added. But i'm not sure about this working of ULM2803.
Can anyone please brief me about the working of ULM2803 or suggest some another method for that.
Thanks
