NE555 PWM Motor Drive Circuit

This circuit uses a 555 timer chip to generate a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal from either a 4-20 mA or 1-5 V analog input signal. The PWM signal triggers a power MOSFET to regulate power to a DC load based on the duty cycle of the PWM pulses. Key points are that test points are provided to monitor the reference voltages, PWM output, power supply rails, and oscillator waveform.
