Melexis has introduced a 40W driver with four half bridges and field-oriented control to operate three-phase brushless motors and four-wire stepper motors. A CPU is included and both sensor-less and ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...
