Embedded solutions provider MIKROE has introduced the BLDC FOC 2 Click, a compact add-on board designed to deliver precise control of three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using advanced ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has claimed the industry’s first 70-W brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers with code-free, sensorless trapezoidal and field-oriented control (FOC), reducing design time while ...

{Editor's note: This article originally appeared as a series of blogs in EE Times. It is replicated here in its entirety for the convenience of the EDN community.} Motors are all around us, and an ...

Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

BridgeSwitch ICs provide a motor current output signal that maps the current passing through the low-side FREDFET. An internal sense-FET provides lossless current sensing. The solution is suitable for ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

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, ...

As motorized equipment accounts for more than 40% of global electricity consumption, motor efficiency is an extremely important issue for environmentally focused sustainable development. As a leading ...

An average electric vehicle (EV) user has no idea about Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm that works silently under the hood. But people in the know of things will swear by its ability to drive ...

[Thinking Techie] takes us back to basics in a recent video explaining how magnets, coils, brushed DC motors, and brushless DC motors work. If this is on your “to learn” list, or you just want a ...
