High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

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 ...

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 ...

GM has released a new customer satisfaction program for the Chevy Equinox EV and Blazer EV, addressing an issue with the drive motor power control module.

As end users increasingly request intelligent control applications, OEMs are faced with imbuing more multi-axis capabilities into their products. Historically, this ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

Humans have a complex body with more degrees of freedom than needed to perform any particular task. Such redundancy affords flexible and adaptable motor behavior, provided that all degrees of freedom ...

The shift from 12-V supply rails to 48-V power systems is pushing power levels under the hood to new highs. But it opens the ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...
