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 ...

Many different types of induction motors have been available on the market for decades, including ac induction, brushed dc, and brushless dc (BLDC) motors. Each type has advantages and disadvantages.

[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 ...

KP93102 is a three-phase sensor-less BLDC motor driver. It has an a built-in BEMF detection algorithm to detect the rotor position, eliminating the need for hall sensors. It integrates both the ...

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); ...

Melexis has announced the MLX90416, a 24V/60W sensorless single-coil BLDC driver specifically designed for motor, fan and pump applications across both consumer electronics and industrial domains.

The home-appliance market is a large user of electric motors in both large systems (washers, dryers, refrigerators, HVAC, and dishwashers) and smaller units (mixers, vacuum cleaners, and fans). Many ...

With its ever-increasing electronic content, the modern automobile places a premium on energy-efficient design. That’s doubly true for hybrid-electric and full-electric vehicles (HEVs and EVs), in ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...
