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 ...

You could use a variable resistor, but with large currents you would need a very large resistance. Also, the resistor would be wasting a lot of energy as heat at low speeds. If you could connect a DC ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

PIC33CK Value Line family of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) to provide vital real-time control at a competitive price point. By combining up to 100MHz deterministic processing, high-resolution PWM ...
