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 ...

Microchip Technology Inc. has extended its family of inductive position sensors into the electric-vehicle (EV) motor control market, with the launch of the LX34070 IC. Designed for EV motor control ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

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 ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

The benefits of a dual inductive rotary sensor. How inductive position sensors are designed to improve motor precision, motor control, and motor performance in industrial applications and requirements ...

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 ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

As end users increasingly request intelligent control applications, OEMs are faced with imbuing more multi-axis capabilities into their products. Historically, this ...
