Speed Controller for DC Motor
T.K. Hareendran
Here is a simple circuit to control the speed of a DC motor. It can be configured to control the sweep rate of automobiles
windscreen wiper.
The circuit comprises a timer NE555 (IC1), medium-power driver transistor BD239 (T1), high-power switching transistor
BD249 (T2) and a few other discrete components. It is configured for automobile usage with negative terminal of the
power supply connected to ground.
Here IC1 is wired as a low-frequency, free-running astable multivibrator with pulse-width modulation (PWM) controlled
output. The R-C components like R1, VR1, R2 and C1 determine the frequency of oscillations. Potmeter VR1 works as the
master speed controller for the motor. Components R3, C3 and C4 decouple the DC supply of the oscillator. A blinking-type
red LED (LED1) is used for visual indication of power-on.

I had previously tried with 12V as supply for timer.but my timer began to get a large amount of heat.can you please suggest
any solution for it.

friend have you used a IC slot for soldering if so try to work with 9V battery

When the wiper arm of potmeter VR1 is in top position, capacitor C1 charges through R1, R2 and D1 and produces a pulse
train at the output of IC1 with long negative and short positive pulse widths. Therefore the motor speed is slow. On the
other hand, when the wiper arm of VR1 is at the bottom position, C1 charges through R1, R2 and VR1 and discharges via
R2. The resulting pulse train has long positive and short negative pulse widths. Now the motor rotates at a high speed.
The output at pin 3 of IC1 is fed to transistor T1, which, in turn, drives the DC motor through high power switching
transistor T2 at the selected speed. Resistor R4 limits the base current of transitor T2.
Diode D2, connected in antiparallel with the DC motor, limits the back e.m.f. generated by the rotation of the motor.
Capacitor C5 suppresses parasitic oscillations.
The circuit can be powered by 12V DC supply directly from the vehicles battery. For convenience and safety, enclose it in
a small metallic cabinet. A medium-size veroboard will do for construction. Use a good-quality DIP socket for IC1. Finally,
do not forget to add a suitable heat-sink for transistor T2.
