Working Principle and Applications of Driver Boards

Driver Boards Working Principle and Applications

The primary function of a driver board is to receive signals from a controller, amplify them, and convert them into signals that can be precisely controlled by driven devices. This process encompasses critical stages such as power supply, signal input, signal processing, and output control. At Tecoo, we place particular emphasis on the accuracy of signal processing, leveraging advanced equipment and mature circuit design technologies to ensure that the output signals accurately drive various devices, meeting complex and diverse application requirements.

1. Basic Composition and Working Principle of Driver Boards

Driver boards typically consist of microprocessors, power driver chips, power management units, input/output interfaces, and other components. Their core function is to regulate the output voltage or current based on signals provided by the controller, enabling devices to operate normally.

Common working principles include:

Current Control: Driver boards can adjust the motor's speed and torque by regulating current levels, widely used in stepper motors, servo motors, and other scenarios.

PWM Modulation: Utilizing pulse-width modulation technology, driver boards control the power output of load devices by adjusting the duty cycle, commonly seen in LED drivers and fan controls.
