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 ...

Analog Devices has demonstrated a motor control system design platform based on its Blackfin processor and using the Matlab, a high-level technical computing language for algorithm development. It ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are widely used in medical devices due to their high reliability, high efficiency, low maintenance and many other advantages. One of the most popular applications is a sleep ...

A Z-source Inverter (ZSI) is a DC-to-AC converter that can perform both buck and boost functions as a single stage. A unique attempt of ZSI is the shoot through state, by which two switches of the ...

In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.

This article describes ongoing internal project activities at eInfochips in the control systems domain for applications in motor and engine controls aimed for aerospace and automotive segments.

To help designers with these cost and software burdens, Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FCM8531 analog and digital integrated motor controller. The FCM8531 is a tailored configurable solution ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...
