Behavioural mixed-signal modelPololu #1117 (130-size brushed DC motor)dc_motor_130

DC motor 130-size (6 V, 11 500 rpm)

Brushed DC motor: armature resistance and inductance, back-EMF proportional to speed, torque proportional to current, shaft with inertia and friction. Defaults from the 130-size 6 V motor (11 500 rpm and 70 mA without load, 800 mA stall at 6 V). The load torque can be changed while the simulation runs; the shaft and its speed are shown in the schematic. Polarity: + positive turns forward.

Simulation model

A behavioural model implements the interface of the chip (registers, protocol, timing) at its pins. The pins are connected to the analog circuit like CMOS pins.
