Our project focuses on improving the control system for an electric-vehicle motor, previously used in a racing competition by the UDA E-Team (short for Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador). This project ...

In recent years, brushless DC (BLDC) motors have become increasingly popular in industrial applications due to their numerous advantages, including longer lifespan, lower maintenance requirements, and ...

The worst thing about a volume knob is that, having connected it to a computer, it might be wrong: if you’ve manually altered the volume settings somewhere else, the knob’s reading ...

BLDC motors have numerous advantages over regular DC motors but they have one big disadvantage, the complexity of control. Even though it has become relatively easy to design and manufacture PCBs and ...

Today, electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. In industry, the share is even higher, reaches about 70%. Meanwhile, major manufacturers of electronic components, ...

This application note presents the application of Z8 Encore for sensorless brushless DC motor that features an on-chip integrated array of application, specific analog and digital modules. It ...

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.

If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...
