If there are multiple servo motors then PIC, ATMEGA etc. Usually, 8051 controllers are used for controlling a servo motor driver with a single servo motor. The major motor drive components for a servo motor are a controller, power supply unit, servo motor and the necessary connections with the motor.Ĭommonly, motor drive for a servo motor is also known as Servo motor controller or Servo Motor Driver. Servo motor is a type of actuator device that consists of a motor and a sensor to control velocity, acceleration etc.

While interfacing with the controller some of the motors like DC motor, stepper motor and brushless dc motor may require a driver IC or driver circuit. Motor: Motor is defined as an electric or mechanic device that can create a motion.Motor Driver IC or Motor Driver Circuits: They are basically current amplifierswhich accept the low current signal from the controller and convert it into a high current signal which helps to drive the motor.Controller: The controller can be a microprocessor or a microcontroller.The major motor drive components for DC motors are: a controller, a motor driver IC or a motor driver circuit, the desired DC motor being used, power supply unit and the necessary connections to the motor. These drive circuits can be easily interfaced with the motor and their selection depends upon the type of motor being used and their ratings (current, voltage). In other words, they are commonly used for motor interfacing. Motor drives are circuits used to run a motor.
