Theory: An H-bridge motor driver controls a DC motor's direction and speed by managing current
flow. Its "H" shape consists of four switches (transistors, MOSFETs, or relays) arranged to allow
bidirectional current flow. Activating one diagonal pair of switches (e.g., S1 and S4) drives the motor
forward, while the other pair (S2 and S3) reverses it.

Figure 1: The circuitry behind a simple H-Bridge.


Speed control is achieved using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), where varying the duty cycle
adjusts the motor's average voltage. The H-bridge can also break the motor by shorting its terminals
or stop it by turning all switches off, enabling precise and efficient control. In our design we used a
potentiometer (R1) to control signals that determine the motor's speed.

Components are used for the PCB design:

1. Capacitor, C1 0.33nF

2. Capacitor, C2 0.1nF

3. Screw Terminal, P1
4. Screw Terminal, P2
5. Potentiometer, R1 10kΩ

6. Resistor, R2, R3, R4 10kΩ

7. Slide switch, SW1


8. 7805 Voltage regulator, U4
9. DRV8871DDA motor driver IC, U5

Why we choose these components:


Power Regulation: The 7805-voltage regulator (U4) ensures a stable 5V supply for the control
circuitry, derived from the 24V input. This is important for components like the DRV8871DDA IC,
which operates with logic-level (5V) voltages.

Input Control: The potentiometer (R1) and resistors (R2, R3) help in adjusting the control signals
that determine the motor's behavior. These signals, combined with the slide switch (SW1), can
dictate whether the motor runs forward, in reverse, or stops entirely.

Slide switch: A slide switch in direction control acts as a manual selector to reverse the polarity of
the voltage supplied to a motor. By toggling the switch, the current flow through the motor is
reversed, which changes its rotation direction (forward or reverse). We used a slide switch in this H-
Bridge driver circuit for bidirectional motor control.

Motor Driver Functionality: The DRV8871DDA is ideal for a 24V motor with 3A continuous and
4A peak currents. It supports bidirectional control, PWM input, and operates within 6.5V–45V. With
built-in protections (overcurrent, overtemperature, undervoltage) and 3.6A peak capability, it handles
4A peak current with proper thermal management like heatsinks or external cooling. DRV8871DDA
bi-directional DC motor Driver has the following key features:

• Wide (6.5-V to 45-V) Operating Voltage


• 565-mΩ Typical RDS(on) (HS + LS)
• 3.6-A Peak Current Drive
• PWM Control Interface
• Current Regulation Without a Sense Resistor
• Low-Power Sleep Mode
• Small Package and Footprint
• 8-Pin HSOP With PowerPAD 4.9 × 6 mm

Protection and Stability: Capacitors C1 (0.33nF) and C2 (0.1nF) provide filtering and noise
suppression. They help maintain signal integrity and protect the circuit from voltage spikes or
interference.

Connections: Screw terminals P1 and P2 provide robust connections for the input power supply and
the motor, ensuring stable operation without loose connections.

Discussion: The design of a motor driver PCB using the DRV8871DDA IC demonstrates a
systematic approach to high-current, high-voltage motor control. By focusing on component
selection, thermal management, grounding, and protection, the design ensures reliability while
preventing issues like voltage spikes and overheating. This work provides valuable insights into PCB
design principles for motor drivers and sets a strong foundation for future power electronics projects.
