Interesting article at
http://www.penton.com/ed/Pages/magpages/jan1199/ifd/0111id.htm that has a
blurb on a pwm DC motor control.  It's not directly applicable, but it
does go into detail on its intended application.

There's also a simple circuit do generate 23v if you want to do a high
side driver for your pwm at
