STMicroelectronics announced a complete three-phase motor-control development kit based on the breakthrough STM32 Flash microcontroller – launched mid-2007 – which provides all the necessary hardware ...

Designers can expect environmental demands to continue to drive the need for advanced motor control techniques that produce energy efficient air conditioners, washing machines and other home ...

Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors — in everything from consumer products to industrial applications, in ...

There are definitely some hefty words in the title but Texas Instruments (TI) has brought something new to the motor control table with its InstaSpin-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution. It is a ...

The past few decades have seen a rise in the use of field-oriented control in induction motor applications. One advantage of field-oriented control - or as some call it, vector control - is that it ...

Melexis has put three processor cores into its very-application-specific motor driver for automotive air vent flaps. MLX81350 is the company’s fourth-generation of automotive motor driver with LIN ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

If you’ve browsed the aisles in your local building-supply store recently, you’ve no doubt noticed some big changes in the power-tool and garden-appliance sections. Such products range from drills, ...
