The Si30HFHB-50V-30A-AHC is a 50V 30A, microprocessor based, high-frequency, H-Bridge with active-high (0 to +5V) control inputs. This board uses a single (12V to 50V at 30A) DC power supply to control the speed of a DC motor (or load current) in forward or reverse direction. An onboard microprocessor samples the control inputs at 150kHz rate and generates the timing signals for the H-Bridge. The high sampling rate provides a worst-case control latency of 7uS when the bridge is changing current direction or switching on or off. Two active high digital (0 to +5V) control signals (V_I1,G  and V_I2,G) or switches are used to select the direction of rotation (or Load-Current Direction). These inputs can be Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) from DC to 20kHz carrier rate. A bicolor LED is used to monitor the motor (or load) voltage (Red = Forward, Green = Reverse). A small (4.6”x2.4”x1.0”) integrated finned heat-sink is used to operate the bridge at 30A (continuous) current levels. Higher current-levels (40A) can be achieved with more efficient heat-sinks. Please click on this link and read the Board Mounting Instructions and Heat Sink Selection Guide. This board operates in a wide voltage-range (12V to 50V) at a maximum continuous load-current of 30A. Typical applications are: Bi-directional DC Motor-Speed Controller, Peltier Effect TE Coolers, Heat Pumps, DPDT Solid State Relay, etc. This board can be configured and programmed to perform efficiently in many customized applications.

·         The V_I1and V_I2 control lines can be Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM in a range of 0-20k Hz) to vary the average current supplied to a load or to a DC Motor.

Frequency Response of the Si30HFHB-50V-30A-AHC

This plot shows the maximum average load current as a function of PWM carrier frequency (in Hz) at 100% duty-cycle. This plot was obtained with the finned heat-sink (4.6” x 2.4” x 1.0”, as shipped with the unit). Improved performance can be achieved with more effective heat-sinks.

 A Typical Application of the Si30HFHB-50V-30A-AHC

In this open-loop application, the motor direction is controlled by 2 external normally-open switches connected to pins I1 and I2 on port CN5 (using the internal +5V source as shown below), selecting the direction of rotational. These 0 to +5V inputs can be Pulse –Width Modulated over a wide Frequency range. 

Warning:  The connecting wires to the Load and the Power Supply must be heavy gauge copper wire (#12 AWG or heavier) to handle the rated current level. In addition, these heavy gauge wires act as a heat sink, protecting the board from overheating. Note that each connecting point on CN1 is available at 2 places, thus two smaller wires can be used in place of a larger one. Each Pin on CN1 has a current rating of 32A (or each connection point is rated at 64A jointly).
