This reference design describes a 3-phase brushless DC motor (BLDC) drive that uses the NXP MC56F8006 Digital Signal Controller (DSC) for dedicated motor control devices. BLDC motors are very popular ...

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 ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

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 ...

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.
