Power supply
 The system requires a regulated +5v supply for the semiconductors.
These can be delivered from the 230V domestic supply. Before applying
this to the system we must step down this high voltage to an appropriate
value. After that it should be rectified. To achieve +5 V DC we should
regulate this.
 A step down transformer and a bridge rectifier is used here to convert AC
to DC. A regulator IC is also used here to give constant supply.7805 IC is
used for power supply.

BLDC Motor
 BLDC motors have a rotor and a stator.
 BLDC motors are a type of synchronous motor.
 The magnetic field generated by the stator and the magnetic field generated
by the rotor rotates at the same frequency.
 BLDC motors do not experience the“slip” that is normally seen in induction
motors.

Opto - Isolator
 Opto coupler or Opto Isolator is a 6 pin IC. It is a combination of 1 LED
and a diac. Pin 5 is not generally used and when light falls on the diac
then it switches ON the diac.

The Input stage
 The input stage consists of entering the required speed through switches.
The Processing Stage
 The processing stage provides RPM reference of the motor. A shaft mounted IR
sensor interfaced to the microcontroller in the circuit.
The output stage
 The output stage uses a MOSFET being driven by the microcontroller output.

Working Principle
 The proposed system uses a microcontroller of the 8051 family and a rectified
power supply. A set of IR transmitter and photodiode is connected to the
microcontroller for counting the number of rotations per minute of the DC motor
as a speed sensor. Opto-coupler is connected to trigger the MOSFET for driving the
BLDC motor which is duly interfaced to the microcontroller. Two switches are
interfaced to the microcontroller for controlling the speed.
 The speed control of the DC motor is achieved by varying the duty cycles (PWM
Pulses) from the microcontroller as per the program. The microcontroller receives
the percentage of duty cycles from the switches and delivers the desired output to
switch the driver IC to control the speed of the DC motor. The speed sensed by the
IR sensor is given to the microcontroller to display it on the LCD display.
