Texas Instruments has released a free, interactive online simulation tool that enables motor designers to assess the company’s InstaSPIN-field-oriented-control (FOC) technology. This online simulation ...

[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

Sensorless motor control has primarily been applied to applications where the majority of the operating time is at higher electrical frequencies (mechanical speeds). This is due primarily to the fact ...

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 ...

Startup techniques employed to overcome the problem of determining magnet position in BLDC designs. Cost-saving and power-efficiency incentives using sensorless motor drivers. Motor-driver solutions ...

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 ...

“Motor controllers with sensorless commutation — this kind of technology proposition didn’t exist anywhere in the world before our intervention,” said Shashikanth Suryanarayanan, founder of SEDEMAC ...
