Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...

Electrical angle alignment of brushless dc (BLDC) motors is the process of determining how to apply electric current to the motor. In essence, it is determining where the magnets are with respect to ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many operating attributes in performance and controllability, but they may require a position (rotation) sensor such as an encoder, resolver, or Hall-effect device to ...

Let us begin this session by revisiting a nostalgic motor control IC—the AN6651—designed for rotating speed control of compact DC motors used in tape recorders, record players, and similar devices.
