Title : PWM Motor Speed Control Circuit

Description: PWM motor speed controller circuit that can be used for varying the speed of
low power DC motors . The variation in speed is achieved by varying the duty cycle of the pulse
supplied to drive the motor. Of the two gates of IC CD40106B , N1 is wired as an inverting
Schmitt Trigger astable multi vibrator for producing pulses and N2 as an inverting buffer to
drive the transistor during positive cycles at base. The duty cycle is set from resistor R2. R1
limits the base current of transistor SL 100. The circuit is ideal for controlling toy motors,hand
held mini fans , small blowers etc.

Title : Simple Lamp Dimmer/ Fan Regulator(Snubber Circuit)

Description :Simplest lamp dimmer or fan regulator is achieved by snubber circuit.The circuit
is based on the principle of power control using a Triac.The circuit works by varying the firing
angle of the Triac . Resistors R1 ,R2 and capacitor C2 are associated with this. The firing angle
can be varied by varying the value of any of these components. Here R1 is selected as the
variable element . By varying the value of R1 the firing angle of Triac changes (in simple words,
how much time should Triac conduct) changes. This directly varies the load power, since load is
driven by Triac. The firing pulses are given to the gate of Triac T1 using Diac D1.
