Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

Embedded solutions provider MIKROE has introduced the BLDC FOC 2 Click, a compact add-on board designed to deliver precise control of three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using advanced ...

Power Integrations’ updated Motor-Expert Suite now features three-phase field-oriented control (FOC) software, including a reconstruction algorithm that uses the phase-shifted trigonometric ...

Power Integrations has bundled three-phase BLDC control software into its Motor-Expert configuration suite for the BridgeSwitch IC family of half-bridge motor drivers. According to the manufacturer, ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced MotorXpert™ v3.0, a software ...

A knob can make a surprisingly versatile interface, particularly if it’s the SmartKnob, which builds a knob around a BLDC motor for programmable haptic response. It can rotate freely or with a set ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

If you’ve browsed the aisles in your local building-supply store recently, you’ve no doubt noticed some big changes in the power-tool and garden-appliance sections. Such products range from drills, ...

Designers can expect environmental demands to continue to drive the need for advanced motor control techniques that produce energy efficient air conditioners, washing machines and other home ...

motor control based on a six-step commutation sequence; detection of the magnetic angle of the rotor, to perform the commutation at the correct angle (each step corresponds to an angle of 60 degrees); ...

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 ...
