hi dod
My friends, I want to start circuit DC motor that take a high ampere and from time zero to one hundred (ie complete cycle engine) last for 10 seconds and the engine slowly round pick
The circuit is simple and low cost
& Amp motor final seven amps
And not to micro
I thank you for your help
 
There are probably sill some non-micro devices to drive mosfets to do what you want to do. I used the TPIC 2101 many years ago: **broken link removed** Apparently it is still available. Most of its functions are set with just resistors. Then you need a mosfet to handle the current.

There maybe some integrated controllers-drivers-mosfets. Have you tried searching the various suppliers, like Mouser and Digikey?

You could also buy a controller for model airplanes or cars very cheaply at Hobby King and others and use a simple NE555 circuit to control it.

Unfortunately, I can only write code in Assembly. It is quite easy to program an MCU to drive a logic-level mosfet to do what you want. If you don't have programming experience, I would recommend getting a controller for a few dollars and concentrate on the PWM generator, which is usually a 555-based oscillator, but any Schmitt inverter will do.

As you might imagine, model aircraft prefer a softstart, as the instant torque of an electric motor can overload the airframe and the controller.
