H BRIDGE
BUY OR BUILD H BRIDGE?
• Your project’s Needs!
• Cost?
• Reliability?
• Features?
• If you buy an H Bridge, there are 100’s to pick from! For your DC
motor, know your voltage and current specifications. As an example
of a small H bridge,

• This “small power” IC drives a 11V at 1.8A DC motor.
• Has a brake function, arc suppression (they all do….)

STEP 4. CONTROLLERS AND
PROTOCOLS
• Refer to Dr. Gomez’s Lecture.
• WARNING: Arduinos – Good for component tryouts but
typically lacks data rate performance for projects. Good for
quick circuit tryouts from motors to IMU’s but once integrated
often lacks needed performance.
• Not a resume builder at Career Fair. Viewed as a hobby toy.
• Vast libraries and examples make it appealing.
• WARNING: Serial Interfaces - I2C, SPI, CAN may be difficult to
implement.
• Unless you have first hand experience or plan to purchase closely
integrated interface solutions.
• If a serial interface is needed and the project data rate is “slow”, then
the old and trusted RS232 protocol is trustworthy.
• Self defined protocols are lacking in needed data sync’ing.
• For digital wireless select proven Bluetooth, Zigbee protocols.
• Borrow a Protocol Data Analyzer – See Prof. Slack
