Microchip Technology has announced a BLDC motor-control development platform for evaluating and developing sensored or sensorless BLDC and PM synchronous motor control applications. Supporting the ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

The transition from diodes to synchronous-rectification (SR) MOSFETs in secondary circuits of flyback converters increases with each new generation of MOSFETs, improving performance at little or no ...
