Years ago my pal Steve Titus wanted to experiment with some drone rotor designs. He needed a simple motor controller that could operate from 8V to 12V and deliver amperes of current to a DC motor used ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Racer series, ...

The A3938 is a three-phase, brushless DC motor controller. It has a high-current gate drive capability that allows driving of a wide range of power MOSFETs and can support motor supply voltages to 50 ...

At CES, MPS highlighted how its motor-control ICs can enable smarter, more precise control of brushless DC motors that are multiplying across robotics and other industries.

Toshiba is sampling a gate driver IC designed to control high-current brushed DC motors. Applications include powered tailgates, sliding doors and seat adjusters. In addition to the optionally ...

Precise motor control has gained greater significance as electrification takes over the automotive industry. Whether for electronic power steering, electronic stability control, automatic braking ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
