DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP Semiconductors is designed to “rev up” brushless DC (BLDC) and other electric motors that are becoming more widely used in modern cars and industrial motor ...

Brake-by-wire systems are becoming a core technology for intelligent electric vehicles, but their performance depends heavily ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...

Where K'EOO is the peak value of the back-emf waveform, measured phase-to-phase (o- o). Since in metric, the voltage constant KE (volt/radian/second) equals the torque constant KT (N-m/amps), the ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...
