Abstract
An FET switch and an inductor in series with a DC motor supply voltage pulses at a high frequency, a power diode permits current recirculation, and a capacitor connected to the motor maintains a mean DC voltage level on the motor which is proportional to the switching duty cycle. The motor speed is proportional to the mean voltage. Smoothing due to the capacitor and the inductor converts the voltage pulses due to switching to a small sinusoidal ripple to attain low radiated emissions.
