For example, consider the United States, where the incoming line frequency is usually 60 Hz at 120 V. If an engineer has an AC motor with two poles (a pole pair motor), then the motor's synchronous ...

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 ...

Learn how to design compact, thermally sound robotic joints by managing motor power, regenerative energy, sensing, and control with integrated motor-control platforms.

Several factors, from sensors to safety and robotic arms or mobile platforms, help determine the selection of a brushless DC ...

Motor control integrated circuits (ICs) and motor drives are essential elements for implementing smart manufacturing within the framework of Industry 4.0. A common requirement in modern industrial ...

A few weeks ago, I saw a reader’s question about how to run PS3 cooling fans using an external electronics circuit. At the time I was busy with some other projects. The other day, I decided to put my ...
