Class-E Chopper Four Quadrant Control 50V DC, 45A High-Rating MOSFET Atmega328P OLED Display Keypad Interface Battery Operated

Started: June 1, 2025

Completed: July 1, 2025

Duration: 4 Weeks

Project Overview

I’ve developed a portable Class-E Chopper for DC motor speed control, enabling four-quadrant operation. It uses a high-rating MOSFET, keypad input, and OLED feedback driven by an Atmega328P microcontroller.

Key Features

  • 🔸 Duty Cycle Control: Adjust motor speed precisely.
  • 🔸 Direction & Voltage: Control forward/reverse and output voltage.
  • 🔸 Frequency Modes: Constant or variable switching frequency.
  • 🔸 Compact & Portable: Battery-operated, ideal for field use.

Achievements & Thanks

Built and tested up to 50V DC, 45A—thanks to the Atmega328P and MOSFET communities!
