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 ...

The rise of BLDC motors across the electronics landscape. Features of MPS's new motor-control ICs for BLDCs. Due to their many advantages, three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors are becoming the ...

Overview of the different components of brushless DC (BLDC) motor control from position control to PWM switching. Differences between torque, velocity, and position-control ICs for BLDC motors, and ...

Along with the multi-kilowatt ac traction motor that electric vehicles (EVs) use for propulsion are many other auxiliary motors that need to be driven efficiently, precisely, quietly, and reliably.

Modern brush DC electric motors have been used in the industry for almost 180 years, but they have several drawbacks. Efficiency is compromised by poor brush contact and arcing between the brushes and ...

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 ...
