Guest columnist Anders Norlin Fredriksen, marketing manager at Analog Devices, believes that improved DSP capability can support higher levels of system modelling for sensorless motor control The ...

This article discusses a sensorless technique to control Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors using a majority filter implemented on a Digital Signal Controller (DSC). The algorithm utilizes a ...

STMicroelectronics has released the STM32 ZeST (Zero Speed Full Torque) software algorithm, designed to run on STM32 microcontrollers, that lets sensorless motor drives produce full torque at zero ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a sensorless speed control method for brushed dc motors that extends the usable speed estimation range by combining current-ripple analysis with high-frequency signal ...

There are definitely some hefty words in the title but Texas Instruments (TI) has brought something new to the motor control table with its InstaSpin-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution. It is a ...

Washing controls have used power inverters to control motor speeds for years. Variable-speed control enables a significant simplification of the mechanical system by replacing a clutch and gearbox ...

Toshiba has got together with development board maker Mikroe to create a platform for its TB9M003FG automotive three-phase motor control and driver IC. Toshiba has got together with development board ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a unified sensorless control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), combining a hybrid unknown input and extended State observer (UIO-ESO) with an ...

DALLAS, USA: Highly efficient, three-phase motor control expertise, once only obtainable to a niche market of motor designers, is now available to a wider audience of developers. Texas Instruments (TI ...
