There are many products with built-in motors around us, such as air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and electric fans. As robots, drones, and electric vehicles, which are expected to make a big change ...

This application note presents the use Z16FMC microcontroller in sensor-less brushless DC motor. It also discusses ways on how to implement a sensorless feedback control system using a phase-locked ...

Another method worth considering in any discussion of motor control isvector control. The detailed formulation of this method to control thetorque and flux in PMSM was originally achieved by Jahns, ...

Three-phase brushless motors offer many benefits including economy, reliability and high efficiency, but also exhibit poor dynamic performance. By implementing proper control algorithms (such as field ...

It’s been a long time coming, but efforts to create Open Source brushless motor controller are finally paying off. The Open-BLDC project aims to create an open source motor controller for the ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the STDRIVE102H and STDRIVE102BH, a new generation of integrated gate drivers for three-phase brushless motors. New generation of integrated gate drivers for ...

Brushless doubly-fed induction generators (BDFIGs) represent an innovative class of electric machines that eliminate the need for mechanical brushes, thereby increasing reliability and reducing ...

With the appropriate driver IC and microcontroller, designers can exploit the brushless motor's declining price, smaller size, lighter weight, and minimal maintenance. As recently as two years ago, ...

To say “it's about time” would be an understatement regarding the steady, growing, newfound popularity for brushless motors. These cleaner, smaller, lighter-weight wonders are steadfastly gaining ...

Brushless motor technology has been around for what seems like forever. Interestingly, the motor technology itself is simpler than the brush type, has David Swanson, Principal Engineer, ...
