Circuit generates fan speed control: 03/21/2002
EDN - Design Ideas / Fan noise is becoming a
significant issue as electronic equipment
increasingly enters the office and the home. Noise
is proportional to fan speed, and the airflow hence,
fan speed necessary for cooling is less at low
ambient temperatures. Because ambient temperature is
lower than the upper design point most of the time,
a fan can run slower, making it easier on the ears. |

Make a simple ramp generator for stepper motors:
04/04/2002 EDN - Design Ideas / Stepper motors are
synchronous motors that step at the pulse rate of
the driving signal. For the motor to move quickly,
the stepping rate must be fast. However, because of
motor and load inertia, the motor often cannot go
from 0 rpm to the desired number of revolutions per
minute in one step. Therefore, most stepper motors
receive their drive from a pulse chain that starts
out slowly and ... . |
