Reference platforms are powerful yet simple-to-use development tools built around leading-edge microcontrollers whose feature sets and performance characteristics are optimized for use as motor ...

The rise of BLDC motors across the electronics landscape. Features of MPS's new motor-control ICs for BLDCs. Due to their many advantages, three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors are becoming the ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer some significant advantages over other categories of electric motors, such as brushed motors. Compared with the latter, which are cheaper, BLDC motors require a ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

This source code supports Microchip's Application Note AN1160: Sensorless BLDC Control with Back-EMF Filtering Using a Majority Function, which describes a sensorless Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) ...

Allegro Microsystems introduced a line of motor drivers with integrated control algorithms, which could potentially curb costs and time-to-market for customers. The motor drivers contain ...

Modern brush DC electric motors have been used in the industry for almost 180 years, but they have several drawbacks. Efficiency is compromised by poor brush contact and arcing between the brushes and ...
