However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

EC104 is a digital PWM motor control board from LCR Electronic. It is versatile and adaptable to many applications such as single phase AC motor, DC brush motor and appliances. The device features an ...

An ATmega8 was used to build this circuit which can be used to control the DC motor found on toy car wheels with gears through IR remote control. For controlling the speed, forward and reverse ...

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 ...

Tutorial on ac-motor control based on Clarke and Park transforms. Concepts are presented in stages from top-level through deeper levels of detail. Regardless of their primary field, sooner or later, ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

Designed for pulse-width modulation (PWM) motor control, the A3948 integrates on-chip DMOS output transistors in an H-bridge configuration. Consequently, the motor driver chip can handle continuous ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

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 ...

Interesting question. Before we could really answer it, we had to read up on pulse width modulation and why virtually all of the OEs now use PWM to control their fuel systems. To be clear, we will ...
