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 ...

Power Integrations created Motor-Expert 2.0 with the design engineer’s needs in mind. The new tool reduces the cost and complexity of BLDC drive design and works with the newly released three-phase ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The electric motors used in body motor systems are controlled using switches arranged in the shape of the letter “H.” By Arun Vemuri Body motors for movement are key to comfort and convenience in ...

Hardware-Software Solution for Three-Phase BLDC Motor Inverters Enables Greater Than 98 Percent Efficiency, Saves PCB Space and Speeds Time-to-Market Power Integrations’ Motor-Expert™ Suite for ...
