This application note presents the application of Z8 Encore for sensorless brushless DC motor that features an on-chip integrated array of application, specific analog and digital modules. It ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today released its Motor-Expert software, an ...

Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

BridgeSwitch ICs provide a motor current output signal that maps the current passing through the low-side FREDFET. An internal sense-FET provides lossless current sensing. The solution is suitable for ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

Capacitive-commutation techniques now replace optical and Hall-effect circuitry in brushless-dc motors. • Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

The AS5132 magnetic rotary position sensor IC from ams is designed for high rotation speeds. With a propagation delay of less than 22µs and advanced pre-commutation, the device is designed to give ...
