Our project focuses on improving the control system for an electric-vehicle motor, previously used in a racing competition by the UDA E-Team (short for Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador). This project ...
Embedded solutions provider MIKROE has introduced the BLDC FOC 2 Click, a compact add-on board designed to deliver precise control of three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using advanced ...
A knob can make a surprisingly versatile interface, particularly if it’s the SmartKnob, which builds a knob around a BLDC motor for programmable haptic response. It can rotate freely or with a set ...
An average electric vehicle (EV) user has no idea about Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm that works silently under the hood. But people in the know of things will swear by its ability to drive ...
BridgeSwitch ICs provide a motor current output signal that maps the current passing through the low-side FREDFET. An internal sense-FET provides lossless current sensing. The solution is suitable for ...
Texas Instruments attacks motor control with its InstaSpin hardware/software combination. InstaSpin delivers sensorless, field-oriented-control (FOC) using a self profiling motor approach. There are ...
{Editor's note: This article originally appeared as a series of blogs in EE Times. It is replicated here in its entirety for the convenience of the EDN community.} Motors are all around us, and an ...
With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...
