ABSTRACT
The project is designed to control the speed of a DC and AC motor using an
ARM7 LPC2148 processor. The speed of motor is directly proportional to the voltage
applied across its terminals. Hence, if voltage across motor terminal is varied, then
speed can also be varied. This project uses the above principle to control the speed of
the motor by varying the duty cycle of the pulses applied to it, popularly known as
PWM control. The project uses input button interfaced to the processor, which are
used to control the speed of motor. Pulse Width Modulation is generated at the output
by the microcontroller as per the program. The program is written in Embedded C.
The average voltage given or the average current flowing through the motor
will change depending on the duty cycle, ON and OFF time of the pulses, so the speed
of the motor will change. A motor driver IC is interfaced to the ARM7 LPC2148
processor board for receiving PWM signals and delivering desired output for speed
control. Further the project can be enhanced by using power electronic devices such
as IGBTs to achieve speed control higher capacity industrial motors.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
AC motors have been the workhorse of industry since the earliest days of
electrical engineering. They are reliable, efficient, cost-effective and need little or no
maintenance. In addition, ac motors such as induction and reluctance motors need no
electrical connection to the rotor, so can easily be made flameproof for use in
hazardous environments such as in mines, petrol refineries, etc.
In order to provide proper speed control of an ac motor, it is necessary to
supply the motor with a three phase supply of which both the voltage and the
frequency can be varied. Such a supply will create a variable speed rotating field in
the stator that will allow the rotor to rotate at the required speed with low slip. This ac
motor drive can efficiently provide full torque from zero speed to full speed, can
overspeed if necessary, and can, by changing phase rotation, easily provide bi-
directional operation of the motor. A drive with these characteristics is known as a
PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) motor drive.
Drives and motors are an integral part of industrial equipment from
packaging,robotics, computer numerical control (CNC), machine tools, industrial
pumps,and fans, etc. Designing next-generation drive systems to lower operating
costsrequires complex control algorithms at very low latencies as well as a
flexibleplatform to support changing needs and the ability to design multiple-
axissystems.
Traditional drivesystems based on ASICs, digital signal processors (DSPs),
andmicrocontroller units lack the performance and flexibility to address these needs.
So we use ARM controller.
The project is designed to control the speed of a DC and AC motor using an
ARM7 LPC2148 processor. The speed of motor is directly proportional to the voltage
applied across its terminals. Hence, if voltage across motor terminal is varied, then
speed can also be varied. This project uses the above principle to control the speed of
the motor by varying the duty cycle of the pulse applied to it, popularly known as
PWM control. The project uses input button interfaced to the processor, which are
used to control the speed of motor. Pulse Width Modulation is generated at the output
by the microcontroller as per the program. The program is written in Embedded C.
The average voltage given or the average current flowing through the motor will

change depending on the duty cycle, ON and OFF time of the pulses, so the speed of
the motorwill change. A motor driver IC is interfaced to the ARM7 LPC2148
processor board for receiving PWM signals and delivering desired output for speed
control. Further the project can be enhanced by using power electronic devices such
as IGBTs to achieve speed control higher capacity industrial motors.

LPC 2148
2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LPC2148 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-CPU
with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combine microcontroller
with embedded high speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit
wide memory interface and unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code
execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the
alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal
performance penalty. Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2148 are
ideal for applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access
control and point-of-sale. Serial communications interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0
Full-speed device, multiple UARTs, SPI, SSP to I2C-bus and on-chip SRAM of 8 kB
up to 40 kB, make these devices very well suited for communication gateways and
protocol converters, soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing
both large buffer size and high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual
10-bit ADC(s), 10-bit DAC, PWM channels and 45 fast GPIO lines with up to nine
edge or level sensitive external interrupt pins make these microcontrollers suitable for
industrial control and medical systems.

2.4 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.4.1 On-Chip Flash Program Memory
The LPC2148 incorporates a 512 kB flash memory system. This memory may
be used for both code and data storage. Programming of the flash memory may be
accomplished in several ways. It may be programmed in System via the serial port.
The application program may also erase and/or program the flash while the
application is running, allowing a great degree of flexibility for data storage field
firmware upgrades, etc. Due to the architectural solution chosen for an on-chip boot
loader, flash memory available for user’s code on LPC2148 is 500 kB. The LPC2148
flash memory provides a minimum of 100,000 erase/write cycles and 20 years of
data-retention.
2.4.2 On-Chip Static RAM
On-chip static RAM may be used for code and/or data storage. The SRAM
may be accessed as 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit. The LPC2141, LPC2142/44 and
LPC2146/48 provide 8 kB, 16 kB and 32 kB of static RAM respectively. In case of
LPC2146/48 only, an 8 kB SRAM block intended to be utilized mainly by the USB

(GPIO).

execution.
2.4.3 Memory Map
The LPC2148 memory map incorporates several distinct regions, as shown in
Fig 2.2 In addition, the CPU interrupt vectors may be remapped to allow them to
reside in either flash memory (the default) or on-chip static RAM.
Fig 2.2 Memory Map

2.4.4 Interrupt Controller
The Vectored Interrupt Controller (VIC) accepts all of the interrupt request
inputs and categorizes them as Fast Interrupt Request (FIQ), vectored Interrupt
Request (IRQ), and non-vectored IRQ as defined by programmable settings. The
programmable assignment scheme means that priorities of interrupts from the various
peripherals can be dynamically assigned and adjusted. Fast interrupt request (FIQ) has
the highest priority. If more than one request is assigned to FIQ, the VIC combines
the requests to produce the FIQ signal to the ARM processor. The fastest possible FIQ
latency is achieved when only one request is classified as FIQ, because then the FIQ
service routine does not need to branch into the interrupt service routine but can run
from the interrupt vector location. If more than one request is assigned to the FIQ
class, the FIQ service routine will read a word from the VIC that identifies which FIQ
source(s) is (are) requesting an interrupt. Vectored IRQs have the middle priority.
Sixteen of the interrupt requests can be assigned to this category. Any of the interrupt
requests can be assigned to any of the 16 vectored IRQ slots, among which slot 0 has
the highest priority and slot 15 has the lowest. Non-vectored IRQs have the lowest
priority. The VIC combines the requests from all the vectored and non-vectored IRQs
to produce the IRQ signal to the ARM processor. The IRQ service routine can start by
reading a register from the VIC and jumping there. If any of the vectored IRQs are
pending, the VIC provides the address of the highest-priority requesting IRQs service
routine, otherwise it provides the address of a default routine that is shared by all the
non-vectored IRQs. The default routine can read another VIC register to see what
IRQs are active.
2.4.5 Interrupt Sources
Each peripheral device has one interrupt line connected to the Vectored
Interrupt Controller, but may have several internal interrupt flags. Individual interrupt
flags may also represent more than one interrupt source.
2.4.6 Pin Connect Block
The pin connect block allows selected pins of the microcontroller to have
more than one function. Configuration registers control the multiplexers to allow
connection between the pin and the on chip peripherals. Peripherals should be
connected to the appropriate pins prior to being activated, and prior to any related

interrupt(s) being enabled. Activity of any enabled peripheral function that is not
mapped to a related pin should be considered undefined. The Pin Control Module
with its pin select registers defines the functionality of the microcontroller in a given
hardware environment. After reset all pins of Port 0 and 1 are configured as input with
the following exceptions: If debug is enabled, the JTAG pins will assume their JTAG
functionality; if trace is enabled, the Trace pins will assume their trace functionality.
The pins associated with the I2C0 and I2C1 interface are open drain.
2.4.7 Fast General Purpose Parallel I/O (GPIO)
Device pins that are not connected to a specific peripheral function are
controlled by the GPIO registers. Pins may be dynamically configured as inputs or
outputs. Separate registers allow setting or clearing any number of outputs
simultaneously. The value of the output register may be read back, as well as the
current state of the port pins. LPC2148 introduces accelerated GPIO functions over
prior LPC2000 devices:
• GPIO registers are relocated to the ARM local bus for the fastest possible I/O
timing.
• Mask registers allow treating sets of port bits as a group, leaving other bits
unchanged.
• All GPIO registers are byte addressable.
• Entire port value can be written in one instruction.
Features:
• Bit-level set and clear registers allow a single instruction set or clear of any number
of bits in one port.
• Direction control of individual bits.
• Separate control of output set and clear.
• All I/O default to inputs after reset.
2.4.8 10-bit ADC
The LPC2141/42 contains one and the LPC2148 contains two analog to digital
converters. These converters are single 10-bit successive approximation analog to
digital converters. While ADC0 has six channels, ADC1 has eight channels.
Therefore, total number of available ADC inputs for LPC2141/42 is 6 and for
LPC2148 are 14. The LPC2141/42 contains one and the LPC2148 contains two

analog to digital converters. These converters are single 10-bit successive
approximation analog to digital converters. While ADC0 has six channels, ADC1 has
eight channels. Therefore, total number of available ADC inputs for LPC2141/42 is 6
and for LPC2148 are 14.
Features
• 10 bit successive approximation analog to digital converter.
• Measurement range of 0 V to VREF (2.0 V ≤ VREF ≤ VDDA).
• Each converter capable of performing more than 400,000 10-bit samples per second.
• Every analog input has a dedicated result register to reduce interrupt overhead.
• Burst conversion mode for single or multiple inputs.
• Optional conversion on transition on input pin or timer match signal.
• Global Start command for both converters (LPC2142/44/46/48 only).
2.4.9 10-bit DAC
The DAC enables the LPC2148 to generate a variable analog output. The
maximum DAC output voltage is the VREF voltage.
Features:
• 10-bit DAC.
• Buffered output.
• Power-down mode available.
• Selectable speed versus power.
2.4.10 USB 2.0 device controller
The USB is a 4-wire serial bus that supports communication between a host
and a number (127 max) of peripherals. The host controller allocates the USB
bandwidth to attached devices through a token based protocol. The bus supports hot
plugging, unplugging, and dynamic configuration of the devices. All transactions are
initiated by the host controller. The LPC2148 is equipped with a USB device
controller that enables 12 Mbit/s data exchange with a USB host controller. It consists
of a register interface, serial interface engine, endpoint buffer memory and DMA
controller. The serial interface engine decodes the USB data stream and writes data to
the appropriate end point buffer memory. The status of a completed USB transfer or
error condition is indicated via status registers. An interrupt is also generated if

enabled. A DMA controller (available in LPC2146/48 only) can transfer data between
an endpoint buffer and the USB RAM.
Features:
• Fully compliant with USB 2.0 Full-speed specification.
• Supports 32 physical (16 logical) endpoints.
• Supports control, bulk, interrupt and isochronous endpoints.
• Scalable realization of endpoints at run time.
• Endpoint maximum packet size selection (up to USB maximum specification) by
software at run time.
• RAM message buffer size based on endpoint realization and maximum packet size.
• Supports Soft Connect and Good Link LED indicator. These two functions are
sharing one pin.
• Supports bus-powered capability with low suspend current.
• Supports DMA transfer on all non-control endpoints (LPC2146/48 only).
• One duplex DMA channel serves all endpoints (LPC2146/48 only).
• Allows dynamic switching between CPU controlled and DMA modes (only in
LPC2146/48).
• Double buffer implementation for bulk and isochronous endpoints given data
transfer. During a data transfer the master always sends a byte of data to the slave, and
the slave always sends a byte of data to the master.
2.4.11 SSP serial I/O controller
The LPC2148 each contains one SSP. The SSP controller is capable of
operation on a SPI, 4-wire SSI or Microwire bus. It can interact with multiple masters
and slaves on the bus. However, only a single master and a single slave can
communicate on the bus during a given data transfer. The SSP supports full duplex
transfers, with data frames of 4 bits to 16 bits of data flowing from the master to the
slave and from the slave to the master. Often only one of these data flows carries
meaningful data.
Features
• Compatible with Motorola’s SPI, TI’s 4-wire SSI and National Semiconductor’s
Microwire buses.
• Synchronous serial communication.
• Master or slave operation.

• 8-frame FIFOs for both transmit and receive.
• Four bits to 16 bits per frame.
2.4.12 General purpose timers/external event counters
The Timer/Counter is designed to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK)
or an externally supplied clock and optionally generate interrupts or perform other
actions at specified timer values, based on four match registers. It also includes four
capture inputs to trap the timer value when an input signal transitions, optionally
generating an interrupt. Multiple pins can be selected to perform a single capture or
match function, providing an application with ‘or’ and ‘and’, as well as ‘broadcast’
functions among them.
The LPC2148 can count external events on one of the capture inputs if the
minimum external pulse is equal or longer than a period of the PCLK. In this
configuration, unused capture lines can be selected as regular timer capture inputs, or
used as external interrupts.
Features
• A 32-bit timer/counter with a programmable 32-bit prescaler.
• External event counter or timer operation.
• Four 32-bit capture channels per timer/counter that can take a snapshot of the timer
value when an input signal transitions. A capture event may also optionally generate
an interrupt.
• Four 32-bit match registers that allow:
– Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.
– Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
– Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
• Four external outputs per timer/counter corresponding to match registers, with the
following capabilities:
– Set LOW on match.
– Set HIGH on match.
– Toggle on match.
– Do nothing on match.

2.4.13 Watchdog timer
The purpose of the watchdog is to reset the microcontroller within a
reasonable amount of time if it enters an erroneous state. When enabled, the watchdog
will generate a system reset if the user program fails to ‘feed’ (or reload) the
watchdog within a predetermined amount of time.
Features
• Internally resets chip if not periodically reloaded.
• Debug mode.
• Enabled by software but requires a hardware reset or a watchdog reset/interrupt to
be disabled.
• Incorrect/Incomplete feed sequence causes reset/interrupt if enabled.
• Flag to indicate watchdog reset.
• Programmable 32-bit timer with internal pre-scaler.
• Selectable time period from (TPCLK × 256 × 4) to (TPCLK × 232 × 4) in multiples
of TPCLK × 4.
2.4.14 Real-time clock
The RTC is designed to provide a set of counters to measure time when
normal or idle operating mode is selected. The RTC has been designed to use little
power, making it suitable for battery powered systems where the CPU is not running
continuously (Idle mode).
Features
• Measures the passage of time to maintain a calendar and clock.
• Ultra-low power design to support battery powered systems.
• Provides Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day of Month, Month, Year, Day of Week, and
Day of Year.
• Can use either the RTC dedicated 32 kHz oscillator input or clock derived from the
external crystal/oscillator input at XTAL1. Programmable reference clock divider
allows fine adjustment of the RTC.
• Dedicated power supply pin can be connected to a battery or the main 3.3 V.
2.4.15 Pulse width modulator
The PWM is based on the standard timer block and inherits all of its features,
although only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2148. The timer is designed

to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) and optionally generate interrupts or
perform other actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven match
registers. The PWM function is also based on match register events.
The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the
PWM to be used for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control
typically requires three non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all
three pulse widths and positions. Two match registers can be used to provide a single
edge controlled PWM output. One match register (MR0) controls the PWM cycle
rate, by resetting the count upon match. The other match register controls the PWM
edge position. Additional single edge controlled PWM outputs require only one match
register each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple
single edge controlled PWM outputs will all have a rising edge at the beginning of
each PWM cycle, when an MR0 match occurs. Three match registers can be used to
provide a PWM output with both edges controlled. Again, the MR0 match register
controls the PWM cycle rate. The other match registers control the two PWM edge
positions. Additional double edge controlled PWM outputs require only two match
registers each, since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs.
With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control
the rising and falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses
(when the rising edge occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM
pulses (when the falling edge occurs prior to the rising edge).
Features
• Seven match registers allow up to six single edge controlled or three double edge
controlled PWM outputs, or a mix of both types.
• The match registers also allow:
– Continuous operation with optional interrupt generation on match.
– Stop timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
– Reset timer on match with optional interrupt generation.
• Supports single edge controlled and/or double edge controlled PWM outputs. Single
edge controlled PWM outputs all go HIGH at the beginning of each cycle unless the
output is a constant LOW. Double edge controlled PWM outputs can have either edge
occur at any position within a cycle. This allows for both positive going and negative
going pulses.

• Pulse period and width can be any number of timer counts. This allows complete
flexibility in the trade-off between resolution and repetition rate. All PWM outputs
will occur at the same repetition rate.
• Double edge controlled PWM outputs can be programmed to be either positive
going or negative going pulses.
• Match register updates are synchronized with pulse outputs to prevent generation of
erroneous pulses. Software must ‘release’ new match values before they can become
effective.
• May be used as a standard timer if the PWM mode is not enabled.
• A 32-bit Timer/Counter with a programmable 32-bit Prescaler.
2.5 SYSTEM CONTROL
2.5.1 Crystal Oscillator
On-chip integrated oscillator operates with external crystal in range of 1 MHz
to 25 MHz. The oscillator output frequency is called fosc and the ARM processor
clock frequency is referred to as CCLK for purposes of rate equations, etc. fosc and
CCLK are the same value unless the PLL is running and connected.
2.5.2 PLL
The PLL accepts an input clock frequency in the range of 10 MHz to 25 MHz.
The input frequency is multiplied up into the range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz with a
Current Controlled Oscillator (CCO). The multiplier can be an integer value from 1 to
32 (in practice, the multiplier value cannot be higher than 6 on this family of
microcontrollers due to the upper frequency limit of the CPU). The CCO operates in
the range of 156 MHz to 320 MHz, so there is an additional divider in the loop to
keep the CCO within its frequency range while the PLL is providing the desired
output frequency. The output divider may be set to divide by 2, 4, 8, or 16 to produce
the output clock. Since the minimum output divider value is 2, it is insured that the
PLL output has a 50 % duty cycle. The PLL is turned off and bypassed following a
chip reset and may be enabled by software. The program must configure and activate
the PLL, wait for the PLL to Lock, then connect to the PLL as a clock source. The
PLL settling time is 100 μs.

2.5.3 Reset And Wake-Up Timer
Reset has two sources on the LPC2148: the RESET pin and watchdog reset.
The RESET pin is a Schmitt trigger input pin with an additional glitch filter.
Assertion of chip reset by any source starts the Wake-up Timer (see Wake-up Timer
description below), causing the internal chip reset to remain asserted until the external
reset is de-asserted, the oscillator is running, a fixed number of clocks have passed,
and the on-chip flash controller has completed its initialization. When the internal
reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which is the reset
vector. At that point, all of the processor and peripheral registers have been initialized
to predetermined values. The Wake-up Timer ensures that the oscillator and other
analog functions required for chip operation are fully functional before the processor
is allowed to execute instructions. This is important at power on, all types of reset,
and whenever any of the aforementioned functions are turned off for any reason.
Since the oscillator and other functions are turned off during Power-down mode, any
wake-up of the processor from Power-down mode makes use of the Wake-up Timer.
The Wake-up Timer monitors the crystal oscillator as the means of checking whether
it is safe to begin code execution. When power is applied to the chip, or some event
caused the chip to exit Power-down mode, some time is required for the oscillator to
produce a signal of sufficient amplitude to drive the clock logic. The amount of time
depends on many factors, including the rate of VDD ramp (in the case of power on),
the type of crystal and its electrical characteristics (if a quartz crystal is used), as well
as any other external circuitry (e.g. capacitors), and the characteristics of the oscillator
itself under the existing ambient conditions.
2.5.4 Brownout Detector
The LPC2148 include 2-stage monitoring of the voltage on the VDD pins. If
this voltage falls below 2.9 V, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the VIC. This
signal can be enabled for interrupt; if not, software can monitor the signal by reading
dedicated register. The second stage of low voltage detection asserts reset to
inactivate the LPC2148 when the voltage on the VDD pins falls below 2.6 V. This
reset prevents alteration of the flash as operation of the various elements of the chip
would otherwise become unreliable due to low voltage. The BOD circuit maintains
this reset down below 1 V, at which point the POR circuitry maintains the overall
reset. Both the 2.9 V and 2.6 V thresholds include some hysteresis. In normal

operation, this hysteresis allows the 2.9V detection to reliably interrupt, or a
regularly-executed event loop to sense the condition.
2.5.5 Code Security
This feature of the LPC2148 allows an application to control whether it can be
debugged or protected from observation. If after reset on-chip boot loader detects a
valid checksum in flash and reads 0x8765 4321 from address 0x1FC in flash,
debugging will be disabled and thus the code in flash will be protected from
observation. Once debugging is disabled, it can be enabled only by performing a full
chip erase using the ISP
2.5.6 External Interrupt Inputs
The LPC2148 include up to nine edge or level sensitive External Interrupt
Inputs as selectable pin functions. When the pins are combined, external events can be
processed as four independent interrupt signals. The External Interrupt Inputs can
optionally be used to wake-up the processor from Power-down mode. Additionally
capture input pins can also be used as external interrupts without the option to wake
the device up from Power-down mode.
2.5.7 Memory Mapping Control
The Memory Mapping Control alters the mapping of the interrupt vectors that
appear beginning at address 0x0000 0000. Vectors may be mapped to the bottom of
the on-chip flash memory, or to the on-chip static RAM. This allows code running in
different memory spaces to have control of the interrupts.
2.6 POWER CONTROL
The LPC2148 supports two reduced power modes: Idle mode and Power-
down mode. In Idle mode, execution of instructions is suspended until either a reset or
interrupt occurs. Peripheral functions continue operation during idle mode and may
generate interrupts to cause the processor to resume execution. Idle mode eliminates
power used by the processor itself, memory systems and related controllers, and
internal buses. In Power-down mode, the oscillator is shut down and the chip receives
no internal clocks. The processor state and registers, peripheral registers, and internal
SRAM values are preserved throughout Power-down mode and the logic levels of

chip output pins remain static. The Power-down mode can be terminated and normal
operation resumed by either a reset or certain specific interrupts that are able to
function without clocks. Since all dynamic operation of the chip is suspended, Power-
down mode reduces chip power consumption to nearly zero. Selecting an external 32
kHz clock instead of the PCLK as a clock-source for the on-chip RTC will enable the
microcontroller to have the RTC active during Power-down mode. Power-down
current is increased with RTC active. However, it is significantly lower than in Idle
mode. A Power Control for Peripherals feature allows individual peripherals to be
turned off if they are not needed in the application, resulting in additional power
savings during active and idle mode.
2.7 VPB BUS
The VPB divider determines the relationship between the processor clock
(CCLK) and the clock used by peripheral devices (PCLK). The VPB divider serves
two purposes. The first is to provide peripherals with the desired PCLK via VPB bus
so that they can operate at the speed chosen for the ARM processor. In order to
achieve this, the VPB bus may be slowed down to 1⁄2 to 1⁄4 of the processor clock
rate. Because the VPB bus must work properly at power-up (and its timing cannot be
altered if it does not work since the VPB divider control registers reside on the VPB
bus), the default condition at reset is for the VPB bus to run at 1⁄4 of the processor
clock rate. The second purpose of the VPB divider is to allow power savings when an
application does not require any peripherals to run at the full processor rate. Because
the VPB divider is connected to the PLL output, the PLL remains active (if it was
running) during Idle mode.
2.8 EMULATION AND DEBUGGING
The LPC2148 support emulation and debugging via a JTAG serial port. A
trace port allows tracing program execution. Debugging and trace functions are
multiplexed only with GPIOs on Port 1. This means that all communication, timer and
interface peripherals residing on Port 0 are available during the development and
debugging phase as they are when the application is run in the embedded system itself

2.9 EMBEDDED ICE
Standard ARM Embedded ICE logic provides on-chip debug support. The
debugging of the target system requires a host computer running the debugger
software and an Embedded ICE protocol convertor. Embedded ICE protocol
convertor converts the remote debug protocol commands to the JTAG data needed to
access the ARM core. The ARM core has a Debug Communication Channel (DCC)
function built-in. The DCC allows a program running on the target to communicate
with the host debugger or another separate host without stopping the program flow or
even entering the debug state. The DCC is accessed as a co-processor 14 by the
program running on the ARM7 TDMI-S core. The DCC allows the JTAG port to be
used for sending and receiving data without affecting the normal program flow. The
DCC data and control registers are mapped in to addresses in the Embedded ICE
logic.
2.10 EMBEDDED TRACE
Since the LPC2148 has significant amounts of on-chip memory, it is not
possible to determine how the processor core is operating simply by observing the
external pins. The Embedded Trace Macro cell (ETM) provides real-time trace
capability for deeply embedded processor cores. It outputs information about
processor execution to the trace port. The ETM is connected directly to the ARM core
and not to the main AMBA system bus. It compresses the trace information and
exports it through a narrow trace port. An external trace port analyzer must capture
the trace information under software debugger control. Instruction trace (or PC trace)
shows the flow of execution of the processor and provides a list of all the instructions
that were executed. Instruction trace is significantly compressed by only broadcasting
branch addresses as well as a set of status signals that indicate the pipeline status on a
cycle by cycle basis. Trace information generation can be controlled by selecting the
trigger resource. Trigger resources include address comparators, counters and
sequencers. Since trace information is compressed the software debugger requires a
static image of the code being executed. Self-modifying code cannot be traced
because of this restriction.

2.11 REAL MONITOR
Real Monitor is a configurable software module, developed by ARM Inc.,
which enables real-time debug. It is a lightweight debug monitor that runs in the
background while users debug their foreground application. It communicates with the
host using the DCC, which is present in the Embedded ICE logic. The LPC2148
contain a specific configuration of Real Monitor software programmed into the on-
chip flash memory.
ARM7 LPC2148 is ARM7 TDMI-S Core Board Microcontroller that uses
16/32-Bit 64 Pin (LQFP) Microcontroller no. LPC2148 from Philips (NXP). All
resources inside LPC2148 is quite perfect, so it is the most suitable to learn and study
because if user can learn and understand the applications of all resources inside MCU
well, it makes user can modify, apply and develop many excellent applications in the
future. Because Hardware system of LPC2148 includes the necessary devices within

2.12 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a commonly used technique for controlling
power to an electrical device, made practical by modern electronic power switches.
The average value of voltage (and current) fed to the load is controlled by turning the
switch between supply and load on and off at a fast pace. The longer the switch is on
compared to the off periods, the higher the power supplied to the load is.
The PWM switching frequency has to be much faster than what would affect
the load, which is to say the device that uses the power. Typically switchings have to
be done several times a minute in an electric stove, 120 Hz in a lamp dimmer, from
few kilohertz (kHz) to tens of kHz for a motor drive and well into the tens or
hundreds of kHz in audio amplifiers and computer power supplies.
The term duty cycle describes the proportion of on time to the regular interval
or period of time; a low duty cycle corresponds to low power, because the power is
off for most of the time. Duty cycle is expressed in percent, 100% being fully on.
The main advantage of PWM is that power loss in the switching devices is
very low. When a switch is off there is practically no current, and when it is on, there
is almost no voltage drop across the switch. Power loss, being the product of voltage

and current, is thus in both cases close to zero. PWM works also well with digital
controls, which, because of their on/off nature, can easily set the needed duty cycle.
PWM has also been used in certain communication systems where its duty cycle has
been used to convey information over a communications channel.
Fig. 2.3 Duty Cycles of PWM
2.12.1 Power Delivery
PWM can be used to adjust the total amount of power delivered to a load
without losses normally incurred when a power transfer is limited by resistive means.
The drawbacks are the pulsations defined by the duty cycle, switching frequency and
properties of the load. With a sufficiently high switching frequency and, when
necessary, using additional passive electronic filters the pulse train can be smoothed
and average analog waveform recovered.
High frequency PWM power control systems are easily realisable with
semiconductor switches. As has been already stated above almost no power is
dissipated by the switch in either on or off state. However, during the transitions
between on and off states both voltage and current are non-zero and thus considerable
power is dissipated in the switches. Luckily, the change of state between fully on and
fully off is quite rapid (typically less than 100 nanoseconds) relative to typical on or

off times, and so the average power dissipation is quite low compared to the power
being delivered even when high switching frequencies are used.
Modern semiconductor switches such as MOSFETs or Insulated-gate bipolar
transistors (IGBTs) are quite ideal components. Thus high efficiency controllers can
be built. Typically frequency converters used to control AC motors have efficiency
that is better than 98 %. Switching power supplies have lower efficiency due to low
output voltage levels (often even less than 2 V for microprocessors are needed) but
still more than 70-80 % efficiency can be achieved. Variable-speed fan controllers for
computers usually use PWM, as it is far more efficient when compared to a
potentiometer or rheostat. (Neither of the latter is practical to operate electronically;
they would require a small drive motor).
Light dimmers for home use employ a specific type of PWM control. Home
use light dimmers typically include electronic circuitry which suppresses current flow
during defined portions of each cycle of the AC line voltage. Adjusting the brightness
of light emitted by a light source is then merely a matter of setting at what voltage (or
phase) in the AC half cycle the dimmer begins to provide electrical current to the light
source. In this case the PWM duty cycle is the ratio of the conduction time to the
duration of the half AC cycle defined by the frequency of the AC line voltage.
2.12.2 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in ARM LPC2148
The PWM is based on the standard Timer block and inherits all of its features,
although only the PWM function is pinned out on the LPC2141/2/4/6/8. The Timer is
designed to count cycles of the peripheral clock (PCLK) and optionally generate
interrupts or perform other actions when specified timer values occur, based on seven
match registers. It also includes four capture inputs to save the timer value when an
input signal transitions, and optionally generate an interrupt when those events occur.
The PWM function is in addition to these features, and is based on match register
events.
The ability to separately control rising and falling edge locations allows the
PWM to be used for more applications. For instance, multi-phase motor control
typically requires three non-overlapping PWM outputs with individual control of all
three pulse widths and positions.
Two match registers can be used to provide a single edge controlled PWM
output. One match register (PWMMR0) controls the PWM cycle rate, by resetting the

count upon match. The other match register controls the PWM edge position.
Additional single edge controlled PWM outputs require only one match register each,
since the repetition rate is the same for all PWM outputs. Multiple single edge
controlled PWM outputs will all have a rising edge at the beginning of each PWM
cycle, when an PWMMR0 match occurs.
Three match registers can be used to provide a PWM output with both edges
controlled. Again, the PWMMR0 match register controls the PWM cycle rate. The
other match registers control the two PWM edge positions. Additional double edge
controlled PWM outputs require only two match registers each, since the repetition
rate is the same for all PWM outputs.
With double edge controlled PWM outputs, specific match registers control
the rising and falling edge of the output. This allows both positive going PWM pulses
(when the rising edge occurs prior to the falling edge), and negative going PWM
pulses (when the falling edge occurs prior to the rising edge).

CHAPTER 3
IMPLEMENTATION
The aim of this project is to implement ARM7 based motor controller. The
system is used to control speed of DC and AC motors through controller. The
overview of this project is described as.
The complete overview of our architecture is defined in the block diagram. In
our system we have to use 32 bit microcontroller (LPC 2148). The LPC 2148
generates pulse width modulation for controlling the motor.
Fig. 3.1 Block Diagram

3.1 ARCHITECTURE OF IMPLEMENTED SYSTEM
Fig 3.2 Schematic Diagram
3.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENT
The main components of implemented system are as follows:
3.2.1 POWER SUPPLY
Power supply is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or system
that supplies electrical or other types of energy to an output load or group of loads is
called a power supply unit or PSU. The term is most commonly applied to electrical
energy supplies, less often to mechanical ones, and rarely to others.
A 230V, 50Hz Single phase AC power supply is given to a step down
transformer to get 12V supply. This voltage is converted to DC voltage using a Bridge
Rectifier. The converted pulsating DC voltage is filtered by a 470uf/25V capacitor
and then given to LM7805 voltage regulator to obtain constant 5v supply. This 5v
supply is given to all the components in the circuit. A RC time constant circuit is
added to discharge all the capacitors quickly. To ensure the power supply a LED is
connected for indication purpose.

Fig 3.3 Circuit Diagram of Power Supply Unit
Step Down Transformer
A transformer is a static device by which electric power in one circuit is
transformed into electric power of same frequency in another circuit. It can raise or
lower the voltage in the circuit, but with a corresponding decrease or increase in
current. It works on the principle of mutual induction in our project here we are using
a step down transformer for providing a necessary supply to the electronic circuit
(230-12V AC). Its rating is 0-18V, 750 mA .
Rectifier Unit
A DC level obtained from a sinusoidal input can be improved 100% using a
process called full wave rectification. Here in our project for full wave rectification
we use bridge rectifier. From the basic bridge configuration we see that two diodes
(say D2 and D3) are conducting while the other two diodes (D1 and D4) are in off
state during the period t=0 to T/2 accordingly for the negative cycle of the input the
conducting diodes are D1 and D4. Thus the polarity across the load is the same.
Fig 3.4 Waveforms of bridge rectifier

Filter
In order to obtain a DC voltage of 0 Hz, we have to use a low pass filter. So
that a capacitive filter circuit is used where a capacitor is connected at the rectifier
output and a DC is obtained across it. The filter wavelength is essentially a DC
voltage with negligible ripples and it’s ultimately fed to the load.
Regulator LM7805
The output voltage from the capacitor is more filtered and finally regulated.
The voltage regulator is a device, which maintains the output voltage constant
irrespective of the change in supply variation, load variation and temperature changes.
Here we use fix voltage regulator namely LM7805. The IC LM7805 is a+5V regulator
which is used for the microcontroller.
Description
The LM78XX/LM78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulator are
available in the TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages,
making them useful in a wide range of applications. Each type employs internal
current limiting, thermal shut down and safe operating area protection, making it
essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is provided, they can deliver over
1A output current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these
devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents.

3.2.2 LPC 2148
LPC2148 microcontroller board based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7 TDMI-S CPU
with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combine microcontrollers
with embedded high-speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit
wide memory interface and unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code
execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the
alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30% with minimal
performance penalty. The meaning of LPC is Low Power Low Cost microcontroller.
This is 32 bit microcontroller manufactured by Philips semiconductors (NXP). Due to
their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2148 is ideal for applications where
miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of-sale.
Individual enable/disable of peripheral functions as well as peripheral clock scaling
for additional power optimization.

3.2.3 CONTROL SWITCHES
In this project four switches are used. They are connected to pin P0.20 to P0.23 of
ARM controller. They are named as follows :

Fig. 3.8 Switch schematic
For starting of the motor, first either clockwise or anticlockwise switch is
pressed. As the motor is started, as per the desired speed low speed or high speed
switch is pressed. On pressing, ‘clockwise and low speed’ switch one after another,
the direction of motor is clockwise and it will run at low speed. Thus as per
requirement for rotating the motor, we can use the switches.
3.2.4 LCD MODULE (2X16 Character)
Dot matrix LCD modules is used for display the parameters. 16 characters 2
lines display is used. It has controller which interface data’s and LCD panel. Liquid
crystal displays (LCD’s) have materials, which combine the properties of both liquids
and crystals. Rather than having a melting point, they have a temperature range within
which the molecules are almost as mobile as they would be in a liquid, but are
grouped together in an ordered form similar to a crystal. An LCD consists of two
glass panels, with the liquid crystal material sandwiched in between them. The inner
surface of the glass plates are coated with transparent electrodes which define the
character, symbols or patterns to be displayed polymeric layers are present in between
the electrodes and the liquid crystal molecules to maintain a defined orientation angle.
One each polarizer’s are pasted outside the two glass panels. These polarizer’s
would rotate the light rays passing through them to a definite angle, in a particular
direction When the LCD is in the off state, light rays are rotated by the two polarizes
and the liquid crystal, such that the light rays come out of the LCD without any
orientation, and hence the LCD appears transparent.

When sufficient voltage is applied to the electrodes, the liquid crystal
molecules would be aligned on a specific direction. The light rays passing through the
LCD would be rotated by the polarizes, which would result in activating/highlighting
the desired characters.
Fig. 3.9 LCD Diagram
The LCD's are lightweight with only a few millimetres thickness. since the
LCD's consume less power, they are compatible with low power electronic circuits,
and can be powered for long durations .The LCD's don't generate light is needed to
read the display. By using backlighting, reading is possible in the dark .The LCD's
have long life and a wide operating temperature range.
One of the most popular output devices for embedded electronics is LCD. The
LCD interface has become very simple. This is due to the availability modules for
LCDs. The LCD along with necessary controller (LCD Controller) and mounting
facility is made available in the module itself. The LCD controller takes care of
everything necessary for the LCD. We communicate with the LCD controller with the
help of a command set provided by the manufacturer.
This circuit consists of a Microcontroller and a LCD. This LCD is operating
with an 8-bit data bus. So totally 11 data lines are required (8 Data lines and 3 control
lines). The 8 bit data lines are connected to the Port1 and the 3 control lines to the
Port1.16-Port1.23. The EN line is called "Enable." This control line indicates to the
LCD that we are sending it data. To send data to the LCD, the EN should be low (0)
and then set the other two control lines and/or put data on the data bus. When the
other lines are completely ready, bring EN high (1) and wait for the minimum amount
of time required by the LCD datasheet (this varies from LCD to LCD), and end by
bringing it low (0) again.

Fig. 3.10 LCD Schematic
The RS line is the "Register Select" line. When RS is low (0), the data is to be
treated as a command or special instruction (such as clear screen, position cursor,
etc.). When RS is high (1), the data being sent is text data, which should be displayed
on the screen. For example, to display the letter "T" on the screen we would set RS
high.
The RW line is the "Read/Write" control line. When RW is low (0), the
information on the data bus is being written to the LCD. When RW is high (1), the
program is effectively querying (or reading) the LCD. Only one instruction ("Get
LCD status") is a read command. All others are written commands so RW will almost
always be low.

3.3 MOTOR DRIVER CIRCUIT
3.3.1 DC Motor driver
Dc motor driver uses L293D push-pull four channel driver with diodes to
control high rating dc motor using TTL-compatible logic input.
L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers
act as current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a
higher-current signal. This higher current signal is used to drive the motors.
Fig. 3.11 Block diagram of L293D
L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits. In its common mode of
operation, two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse
direction. The motor operations of two motors can be controlled by input logic at pins
2 & 7 and 10 & 15. Input logic 00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01
and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, respectively.
Enable pins 1 and 9 (corresponding to the two motors) must be high for
motors to start operating. When an enable input is high, the associated driver gets
enabled. As a result, the outputs become active and work in phase with their inputs.
Similarly, when the enable input is low, that driver is disabled, and their outputs are
off and in the high-impedance state.
Features:
 Wide supply-voltage range: 4.5V to 36V

 Separate input- logic supply
 Internal ESD protection
 Thermal shutdown
 High-Noise-Immunity input
 Output current 1A per channel (600 mA for L293D)
 Peak output current 2 A per channel (1.2 A for L293D)
 Output clamp diodes for Inductive Transient Suppression(L293D)

3.3.2 AC Motor Driver
AC motor driver circuit uses an optoisolator MOC3021, TRIAC BT136 and
Snubber circuit. Firstly PWM signal are given to input i.e. pin 1 of MOC3021 which
lighten led according to PWM signal. Light signals triggers Diac in MOC3021
causing continuity between pin 4 and 6. Thus giving gate signals from AC mains to
gate terminal of triac, the circuit completes and load is on. This process is carried out
at high frequency switching load on and off thereby controlling power to the load.
Fig. 3.14 AC Motor Driver Circuit
1. Opto Isolator (MOC3021)
Fig. 3.15 Optoisolator pin diagram & its actual view
Opto-isolators, or Opto-couplers, are made up of a light emitting device, and a
light sensitive device, all wrapped up in one package, but with no electrical
connection between the two, just a beam of light. The light emitter is nearly always an

LED. The light sensitive device may be a photodiode, phototransistor, or more
esoteric devices such as thyristors, triacs etc.
A lot of electronic equipment nowadays is using optocoupler in the circuit. An
optocoupler or sometimes refer to as optoisolator allows two circuits to exchange
signals yet remain electrically isolated. This is usually accomplished by using light to
relay the signal. The standard optocoupler circuits design uses a LED shining on a
phototransistor-usually it is a diac. The signal is applied to the LED, which then
shines on the diac in the IC.
The light is proportional to the signal, so the signal is thus transferred to the
phototransistor. Optocouplers may also comes in few module such as the SCR,
photodiodes, TRIAC of other semiconductor switch as an output, and incandescent
lamps, neon bulbs or other light source.
The optocoupler usually found in switch mode power supply circuit in many
electronic equipment. It is connected in between the primary and secondary section of
power supplies. The optocoupler application or function in the circuit is to:
1. Monitor high voltage
2. Output voltage sampling for regulation
3. System control micro for power ON/OFF
4. Ground isolation
If the optocoupler IC breakdown, it will cause the equipment to have low
power, blink, no power, erratic power and even power shut down once switch on the
equipment. Many technicians and engineers do not know that they can actually test
the optocoupler with their analog multimeter. Most of them thought that there is no
way of testing an IC with an analog meter.
This is the principle used in Opto−Triacs and opto−SCRs, which are readily
available in Integrated circuit (I.C.) form, and do not need very complex circuitry to
make them work. Simply provide a small pulse at the right time to the Light Emitting

Diode in the package. The light produced by the LED activates the light sensitive
properties of the Triac or Thyristor gate and the power is switched on. The isolation
between the low power and high power circuits in these optically connected devices is
typically several thousand volts.

2. TRIAC (BT136)
A TRIAC or Triode for Alternating Current is an electronic component
approximately equivalent to two silicon-controlled rectifiers joined in inverse
parallel (paralleled but with the polarity reversed) and with their gates connected
together. The formal name for a TRIAC is bidirectional triode thyristor. This results
in a bidirectional electronic switch which can conduct current in either direction when
it is triggered (turned on) and thus doesn't have any polarity. It can be triggered by
either a positive or a negative voltage being applied to its gate electrode (with respect
to A1, otherwise known as MT1). Once triggered, the device continues to conduct

until the current through it drops below a certain threshold value, the holding current,
such as at the end of a half-cycle of alternating current (AC) mains power. This makes
the TRIAC a very convenient switch for AC circuits, allowing the control of very
large power flows with milliampere-scale control currents. In addition, applying a
trigger pulse at a controllable point in an AC cycle allows one to control the
percentage of current that flows through the TRIAC to the load (phase control).
Fig 3.16 Actual and Schematic diagram of TRIAC
3. SNUBBER CIRCUIT
When driving an inductive load, triacs are designed with RC Snubber. These
commutation aid networks are badly optimized in most of applications
The triac is today the only bidirectional device able to control various loads
supplied by the domestic and industrial mains. It is often designed with a network
made of a resistor R and a capacitor C, the SNUBBER circuit.
Fig. 3.17 TRIAC turn on with Snubber circuit.
The main function of this circuit is to improve the switching behavior of the
triac at turn off. At turn off the commutation of the triac is the transient phase during
which the load current is passing through zero and the supply voltage is reapplied to
the triac terminals.

When a TRIAC controls inductive loads, the mains voltage and the load
current are not in phase. To limit the slope of the reapplied voltage and ensure right
TRIAC turn-off, designer usually used a Snubber circuit connected in parallel with
the TRIAC. This circuit can also be used to improve TRIAC immunity to fast
transient voltages. Without Snubber circuit, the slope of reapplied voltage is limited
by the TRIAC capacitance between anode and cathode junction. The oscillating
circuit is constituted by the load, L and R, and the internal capacitance, CT, of the
TRIAC. For example, the typical internal capacitances of 1 A, 12 A and 24 A
TRIACs are respectively 12 pF, 90 pF and 180 pF (without direct voltage junction
polarisation, worst case). Without Snubber circuit and for most part of inductive
loads, the damping factor (ξ) is generally lower than 1.

CHAPTER 4
HARDWARE DESIGN AND RESULTS
4.1 WORK DONE IN THIS PROJECT
In our project the following are works has being done by us:
1. Simulation of the schematic circuit in the PROTEUS software.
2. PCB design in the “PCB ARTIST” software.
3. Soldering of the components on the PCB.
4. And finally connecting all components and performing the experiment of speed
control.
The main cause behind the reduction of the voltage is delay PWM which can
be only produced by ARM (LPC 2148) controllers. In this controller, the power
devices used is triac. By varying the firing pulses to the triac either voltage equal to
the supply or voltage less than the supply voltage are obtained.
We know when the reduced voltage is applied, the power consumed or
absorbed also decreases proportionally. Hence the brightness of the lamp and also the
speed of the induction motor are reduced and also can be made equal to the maximum
values only. The hardware and software are very similar to each other, the only
difference is that the load and circuits are real and not virtual in the hardware. There
are totally 3 part in the hardware of the project. They are
1. LPC 2148 Development Board.
2. Triac and
3. Load (DC motor or induction motor).

4.2 RESULT OF DC MOTOR CONTROL
PWM signals from LPC 2148 is given to DC motor driver IC L293D which
controls 12 volts or greater voltage by 5 V dc from PWM pins of LPC2148.
Firstly 30% duty cycle PWM signal is given to DC motor driver IC L293D
DC motor runs at low speed.
Fig. 4.1 30% PWM signals to L293D
After that 50% duty cycle PWM signal is given to DC motor driver IC L293D
DC motor runs at medium speed.
Again 90% duty cycle PWM signal is given to DC motor driver IC L293D dc
motor runs high speed.

Fig 4.4 DC Motor Control
4.3 RESULT OF AC MOTOR CONTROL
AC motor driver circuit uses an optoisolator MOC3021, TRIAC BT136 and
Snubber circuit. Firstly PWM signal are given to input i.e. pin 1 of MOC3021 which
lighten led according to PWM signal. Light signals triggers Diac in MOC3021
causing continuity between pin 4 and 6. Thus giving gate signals from AC mains to
gate terminal of triac, the circuit completes and load is on. This process is carried out
at high frequency switching load on and off thereby controlling power to the load.
Fig. 4.5 AC Motor Driver Circuit

Firstly 30% duty cycle PWM signal is given to MOC 3021 Opto-isolator, Diac
in MOC 3021 triggers triac gate only 30% of single pulse, i.e. triac is ON only for
30% time of total time period of that PWM pulse. AC motor runs at lower speed.
Fig. 4.6 Triac Voltage at 30% PWM signals
Now 50% duty cycle PWM signal is given to MOC 3021 Opto-isolator, Diac
in MOC 3021 triggers triac gate only 50% of single pulse, i.e. triac is ON only for
50% time of total time period of that PWM pulse. AC motor runs at higher speed.
