This article explores how industrial motor control is evolving from a standalone control function into a connected, ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

An ATmega8 was used to build this circuit which can be used to control the DC motor found on toy car wheels with gears through IR remote control. For controlling the speed, forward and reverse ...

Regardless of their primary field, sooner or later, most designers have to deal with motor controls. Broadly speaking, there are two methods to incorporating these components in your design. First, ...

Allegro announces a new full-bridge motor driver IC that is designed for bidirectional pulse width modulated (PWM) current control of inductive loads and is capable of continuous output currents to ±1 ...

RX14T motor control MCUs from Renesas Electronics. Featuring a 48MHz RXv2 core with FPU and DSP support, the RX14T MCUs balance cost, functionality, and motor control performance. The RX14T ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

The MSK4200 is a 75 V, 5 A, MOSFET H-bridge PWM motor driver/amplifier designed for DC brushed motor control or Class D switchmode amplifier. All of the drive/control circuitry for the lowside and ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Design demonstrates multi-motor field-oriented control for industrial automation, robotics and appliance systems.
