This application note presents the closed-loop control of a 3-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) motor using a Z8FMC16100 microcontroller. Zilog’s Z8FMC16100 series of microcontrollers are designed ...

At CES, MPS highlighted how its motor-control ICs can enable smarter, more precise control of brushless DC motors that are multiplying across robotics and other industries.

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource ...

This article describes ongoing internal project activities at eInfochips in the control systems domain for applications in motor and engine controls aimed for aerospace and automotive segments.

In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

The AS5132 magnetic rotary position sensor IC from ams is designed for high rotation speeds. With a propagation delay of less than 22µs and advanced pre-commutation, the device is designed to give ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...

Texas Instruments is developing GaN power devices to enable more compact and efficient motor joints for humanoid robots.
