However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

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 ...

Microchip has expanded its dsPIC33 lineup with the dsPIC33CK Value Line family, a new series of low-cost 16-bit digital signal controllers (DSCs) designed for motor control applications. The devices ...

An ATmega8 was used to build this circuit which can be used to control the DC motor found on toy car wheels with gears through IR remote control. For controlling the speed, forward and reverse ...

Allegro announces a new full-bridge motor driver IC that is designed for bidirectional pulse width modulated (PWM) current control of inductive loads and is capable of continuous output currents to ±1 ...

Designed for pulse-width modulation (PWM) motor control, the A3948 integrates on-chip DMOS output transistors in an H-bridge configuration. Consequently, the motor ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

You could use a variable resistor, but with large currents you would need a very large resistance. Also, the resistor would be wasting a lot of energy as heat at low speeds. If you could connect a DC ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...
