Texas Instruments (TI) has released an integrated Grade 0 brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver for 48-V high-power motor control systems, such as traction inverters and starter generators in mild hybrid ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...

Modern brush DC electric motors have been used in the industry for almost 180 years, but they have several drawbacks. Efficiency is compromised by poor brush contact and arcing between the brushes and ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has claimed the industry’s first 70-W brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers with code-free, sensorless trapezoidal and field-oriented control (FOC), reducing design time while ...

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.
