Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.

The folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has begun shipping commercial samples of its latest gate driver integrated circuit (IC), the TB9084FTG, designed for three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has released two sine-wave PWM drive controllers – TC78B043FNG and TC78B043FTG – for three-phase BLDC motors, which can support surface permanent magnet (SPM) and ...

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...

Toshiba is sampling a gate driver IC tailored for three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors for functions like power sliding doors, power back doors (power tailgates), and power seats, as well as ...
