TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG launched its first family of smart brushless DC (BLDC) motors with field-oriented control (FOC). The new additions to the company’s PANdrive product family of ...

At CES, MPS highlighted how its motor-control ICs can enable smarter, more precise control of brushless DC motors that are multiplying across robotics and other industries.

Power Integrations has bundled three-phase BLDC control software into its Motor-Expert configuration suite for the BridgeSwitch IC family of half-bridge motor drivers. According to the manufacturer, ...

Power Integrations’ updated Motor-Expert Suite now features three-phase field-oriented control (FOC) software, including a reconstruction algorithm that uses the phase-shifted trigonometric ...

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 ...

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.

A knob can make a surprisingly versatile interface, particularly if it’s the SmartKnob, which builds a knob around a BLDC motor for programmable haptic response. It can rotate freely or with a set ...

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 ...

A knob can make a surprisingly versatile interface, particularly if it’s the SmartKnob, which builds a knob around a BLDC motor for programmable haptic response. It can rotate freely or with a set ...

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 ...
