A high-current quad SPST analog switch can be configured as a full-bridge amplifier capable of driving low-power dc motors. By adding a sense resistor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a ...

To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...

Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Freescale Semiconductor (www.freescale.com) has introduced the MC33927, an analog field effect transistor (FET) pre-driver for controlling synchronous and asynchronous three-phase motors in automotive ...
