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 ...

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 ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

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 ...

The folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...
