When designing a motor control circuit, it’s vital to determine how to deliver the high current required to drive the motor. Designers must choose whether to use monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) ...

The race is on to create an ebike motor that adds the least amount of weight and bulk as physically possible, disappearing away into the bike where it's barely seen or heard but is felt on every pedal ...

Since launching in 2022, the TQ HPR50 electric motor drive has underpinned some of the lightest, most inconspicuous electric bikes from name brands like Trek and Pinarello. Its low profile doesn't ...

ST’s motor-drive reference design packs a 3-phase gate driver, an STM32G0 MCU, and a 750-W power stage on a circular PCB that is just 50-mm in diameter. The small form factor of the EVLDRIVE101-HPD ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

A close look at SiC’s benefits. How to improve three-phase inverters for variable motor drives. The most important development in power electronics in recent years is the rise of so-called ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...
