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 ...

The purpose of this application note is to illustrate a software-based implementation of sensorless, field oriented control for permanent magnet synchronous motors using Microchip digital signal ...

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 ...

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 ...

The field-oriented control (FOC) approach offers many advantages compared to other control strategies used with electric motors. Among the most significant benefits is the fact that FOC offers precise ...

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 ...

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, ...
