Melexis introduces the MLX81100 DC motor controller with embedded Flash memory and CPU for automotive high current applications. DC motor control, diagnostics and protection is greatly simplified with ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

This note covers operation and applications of the HCNR200 and HCNR201 high-linearity analog optocouplers. Internal operation and the servo control mechanism of the optocouplers are described in ...

A few characteristics of dc motors maintain linear relationships that allow for very predictable operation. First, if enough voltage is applied across the terminals of a dc motor, the output shaft ...

Klaus Neuenhüskes, of Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH, considers the challenges in power delivery and heat dissipation that have to be solved to a large part by the automotive silicon vendor. Look at ...

ROHM has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch). They are ...

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 ...

Toshiba is sampling a gate driver IC designed to control high-current brushed DC motors Applications include powered tailgates, sliding doors and seat adjusters.

A motor turns, and through a series of belts, gears, couplings and ball screws, rotary motion changes to linear. For decades, designers have been configuring such mechanisms, essentially starting from ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced ...
