Reference platforms are powerful yet simple-to-use development tools built around leading-edge microcontrollers whose feature sets and performance characteristics are optimized for use as motor ...

Many different types of induction motors have been available on the market for decades, including ac induction, brushed dc, and brushless dc (BLDC) motors. Each type has advantages and disadvantages.

BLDC FOC 2 Click is a new motor control Click board from MIKROE. The compact Click add-on boards allow developers to provide proof-of-concept rapidly, then prototype and code new embedded projects.

Allegro MicroSystems has announced a 3-phase sensor-less brush-less dc (BLDC) fan driver IC with sinusoidal outputs to minimise audible noise and vibration. The chip, called A5931, includes output ...

Both the brushless DC (BLDC) and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) require electronic commutation in order to create a rotating electromagnetic field, which is needed to turn the rotor. Both ...

I recently finished up my Design News Continuing Education Center online class on motor control, and, as usual, I learned plenty, just as I hope the course attendees did. One thing different about ...

Allegro Microsystems introduced a line of motor drivers with integrated control algorithms, which could potentially curb costs and time-to-market for customers. The motor drivers contain ...

As motorized equipment accounts for more than 40% of global electricity consumption, motor efficiency is an extremely important issue for environmentally focused sustainable development. As a leading ...

Allegro MicroSystems has announced a 3-phase sensor-less brush-less dc (BLDC) fan driver IC with sinusoidal outputs to minimise audible noise and vibration. A5931 on left, and conventional equivalent ...
