#126798 - only good for small motor
Responding to: ???'s previous message
well this has turned now to a more motor control discusie, but anyway controlling only the lower side with PWMs and having the upper one always either On or Off, works only if you are using a motor with a small current. Because if 4 is PWM and 1 is always ON, during the off time of the PWM, the current is still there, and it goes through 4 and through the body diode of 3. The power dissipation in 3 will be enornmous if the current is big...Vdiode* current... and a solution to reduce that is to turn 3 ON while 1 is Off, then Off before 1 is On again... so 1 is driven by a PWM signa and 3 is driven by the same PWM signal but inverted plus some dead time=> now the power dissipation is I2xRdson...
