PWM1 AND PWM2 with 18f46k22[SOLVED]

So what do you say about the H bridge you see in schematic?
I think one of the transistors drew too much current and burned my C2 pin.
Commonly, I know Pmos is used on the top and Nmos on the bottom. Is it unreasonable to use 4 mosfetide n channels?
Do you have a link that you use commonly and to recommend?

Good work.

Actually, 4 N-Mos is a very common configuration. N-Mos FET's are actually
slightly more efficient than P-Mos types.
However there is a huge problem with what you post. Voltage.

A Nmos FET requires It's gate to be Vgs volts above it's source to turn
on. This means that depending on the Vgs of the FET's involved, the
source can only pull up to 12v - Vgs. Result the top FET's would run very
hot indeed....
Proper drivers for an Nmos FET used like this will have a capacitive charge
pump inverter to generate a supply rail Vgs above the 12v, and the upper
control transistors will switch up to this, instead of using the 12v supply.
Also, the gate of a power FET has enormous capacitance (power FET's are
actually made by combining hundreds or even thousands of smaller FET's
in the single package) - result massive gate capacitance.
Now this capacitance means that to switch the gate quickly very large
currents have to be delivered by the driver. If this is not done, the FET
will take a very long time to switch, and the result is yet more heat.
Proper FET gate drives will typically be able to deliver well over an amp.
Now the drive ability affects the time to turn off as well as the time
to turn on. My guess would be that the transistors were remaining at
least partially turned on, when the next was also turning on. Ugh....
These problems are exacerbated by the high switching speeds you were
using 10KHz, is a fast rate to switch a power FET and needs careful
design.

Look at proper high side drive circuits.

Dear Ttelmah. Thank you for answer.
How old are you?
And how do you manage to be so good in both power electronics, digital electronics, and software. Likewise temtronic.
Almost every subject has an application in the past.
In my opinion, in this form; The following types of headings should be fixed:
- While starting to program
- Being a step-by-step electronics master
- Make sure / never do
- ...
- ...
In fact, if newbies start using your experience, it will progress much faster.
Previously you asked "Why don't you open a Youtube channel?"
I asked. I guess you don't have time.
But it would be great if fixed headers were opened like this in this form.

A humble suggestion ...
Best regards

As Mr. T points out there is a LOT of design details that need to be done before an H-bridge will function ! You should consider buying an 'off-the-shelf' chip that will control your motor. Depending on your motor's specs (usually current draw (amps), is the important one), you may be able to buy the 'chip' for $1 or $2. it would simple go in between PIC and motor. Known to work, simplifies wiring, robust and could be cheaper than designing/building a discrete H-driver.
In the good old days, yes, we'd spend a lot of time calculating, ordering, bench testing, waiting for 'magic smoke to clear'...... Today, you can go onto the Internet, order a 'module' and finish the project quickly.....
I've done that with USB and PICs. Instead of using a PIC with internal USB, it's cheaper, faster, easier to buy a USB<>TTL module. Same with RTC, I buy 'modules'. I'm sure there has to be several H-bridge modules that'd interface with your PIC<>motor project.

Actually, when I used a module in the project, I cannot say that I did this project.
because I learn less when using modules.
But the project doesn't end when I try to do everything myself?

[temtronic]

Gee, if you can't use a module for the 'PIC > Motor' interface, you 'should' not use a PIC and try using discrete 4000 series CMOS !
Modules aren't really a 'cheat', just a nice way to eliminate a LOT of possible wiring errors, bad PCB layout, etc. They also allow you to concentrate your time on code cutting, instead of tracking down faulty hardware problems like solder whiskers or , oopsy D+ and D- are reversed......

I understand the education of using discrete parts but designing a high current H-bridge is NOT for 1st year students !!!

The other problem is that things like power circuits, and H bridges, don't
teach you anything in prototypes. As soon as you move from some form of
prototype form, to a genuine board, 'everything changes', and you have
to design it again. Current flows in the grounds, and pick-up between
parts, in particular are a 'fact of life' in such circuits, and have to be
dealt with. IC manufacturers for things like high side power drivers will
include in their data, 'recommended layouts', and once you use these,
you might as well use a pre-built board. If you don't use these, be prepared
for just how many parts _will_ give problems.

[ressas]

I understand.
This job is much harder than I thought.
I researched the modules.
I found a really effective and cheap one. I think I will use this.

However, I haven't stopped designing an H-bridge. Can you recommend me a quality simulation program? I start learning with simulation.

[temtronic]

The link downloads a PDF of an 'H-bridge driver' chip NOT a 'module'.
A 'module' should be a small PCB with some (6-8) pins to connect signals from the PIC, 2 large screw terminal for PSU, and 2 large screw terminals to connect the motor. It will have an h-bridge driver chip, 4 MOSFETS, a heatsink, as well as other 'support' components.
You could easily spend 1-2 manyears designing a proper H-bridge ! That's why I suggest using an 'off-the-shelf' premade module.

Just Google ' h-bridge module'. You'll get lots of hits with images of them.

Cost usually depends upon power (amps) and features. Without knowing your motor, I think under $20 would get you a module. Always buy 2 though......

Yes my mistake
