Time-Delay Relay (Figure 9). The MIC5011 forms the basis
of a simple time-delay relay. As shown, the delay commences
when power is applied, but the 100kΩ/1N4148 could be
independently driven from an external source such as a
switch or another high-side driver to give a delay relative
to some other event in the system. Hysteresis has been
added to guarantee clean switching at turn-on.
Motor Driver with Stall Shutdown (Figure 10). Tachometer
feedback can be used to shut down a motor driver circuit
when a stall condition occurs. The control switch is a 3-way
type; the “START” position is momentary and forces the
driver ON. When released, the switch returns to the “RUN”
position, and the tachometer's output is used to hold the
MIC5011 input ON. If the motor slows down, the tach output
is reduced, and the MIC5011 switches OFF. Resistor “R”
sets the shutdown threshold.
Electronic Governor (Figure 11). The output of an ac
tachometer can be used to form a PWM loop to maintain
the speed of a motor. The tachometer output is rectified,
partially filtered, and fed back to the input of the MIC5011.
When the motor is stalled there is no tachometer output,
and MIC5011 input is pulled high delivering full power to
the motor. If the motor spins fast enough, the tachometer
output is sufficient to pull the MIC5011 input low, shutting
the output off. Since the rectified waveform is only partially
filtered, the input oscillates around its threshold causing
the MIC5011 to switch on and off at the frequency of the
tachometer signal. A PWM action results since the average
dc voltage at the input decreases as the motor spins faster.
The 1kΩ potentiometer is used to set the running speed of
the motor. Loop gain (and speed regulation) is increased
by increasing the value of the 100nF filter capacitor.
The performance of such a loop is imprecise, but stable
and inexpensive. A more elaborate loop would consist of a
PWM controller and a half-bridge.
