Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...

If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...

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 ...

A new class of BLDC motors has evolved that are small enough to fit into confined spaces, powerful enough to do real work, and efficient enough to be used in wireless or remote applications The spread ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

Nearly everyone has heard the term “cloud-based computing,” yet most of us who rely on being able to access important data from our computers and smartphones don’t think much about where the data is ...

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...

The worst thing about a volume knob is that, having connected it to a computer, it might be wrong: if you’ve manually altered the volume settings somewhere else, the knob’s reading won’t be correct.

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...

The new MOTIX TLE9189 comes in two package options: TQFP-48 and VQFN-48. Credit: Infineon. Infineon Technologies has launched MOTIX TLE9189 gate driver IC, specifically designed for safety-critical ...
