i need to control a D.C motor by mosfet H-bridge using atmega48 the motor is of 36V and about 4 ampere i need a mosfet H bridge circuit to operate the motor please help me
i am currently using the B.J.T based ckt ive posted the ckt also the ckt is working just fine but the top tansistor the PNP ones get heated a lot and have burnt many times what is the reason behind it although i am using a fan and a heat sink too
EDIT:
A quick look at youtr circuit shows that the PNP are being under driven, the Base current is only ~7mA , the gain of a TIP36 in stauration would be ~10 to 20 max.
So say its 20 , 20 * .007, as ~ 14mA,.
This means that the TIP36 are not being driven into saturation so they are over heating.
