A project log for H-Bridge Deadband Sequencer

Because designing a H-bridge is hard enough as it is.

The initial testing of the deadband sequencer went smoothly. A revision will be made to decrease the diameter of the via drill, for reliability reasons. But the pieces I built are good enough for my use, and validate the idea.

This large piece of perf board is part of Calor Sentinam. In the middle of the frame is the deadband sequencer, driving opto-isolators, which are driving a pair of H-bridges. This sequencer board is configured to give ~6ms of deadband.


These modules are single H-bridges and are otherwise the exact same deign as above and should be good out to 80V/16A. These modules have more capacitance and have been cleaned up for production. The module on the left is shown without a heat sink. These units are slated to be tested destructively under instrumentation.
