DC motors are used extensively in industrial variable speed applications because of most demanding speed-torque characteristics and are simple in controlling aspects. This paper presents a DC motor ...

Smart Cruise Control enables an essential self-driving feature and core technology for ADAS: maintaining distance from the vehicle ahead while traveling at the speed selected by the driver. JLR is ...

Renesas’ RA8T2 motor control MCUs address real-time control in high-end factory automation and robotics applications.

Sensorless motor control has primarily been applied to applications where the majority of the operating time is at higher electrical frequencies (mechanical speeds). This is due primarily to the fact ...

Brushless motors are everywhere now. From RC planes to CNC machines, if you need a lot of power to spin something really fast, you’re probably going to use a brushless motor. A brushless motor ...

A technique for controlling motor speed without Hall sensors or other signal-generating devices saves wear on bearings and brushes, decreases motor noise, and reduces no-load current. Roger Baines, ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...

The ZXBM1021 from Diodes is a variable speed control solution for cooling fans, blowers, extractors, motors and pumps deployed in a variety of consumer and industrial products. The single phase, ...
