A family of 600-V insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are optimized for motor drive applications operating below 10 kHz, such as compressors for refrigerators and air conditioners.

Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

Here is a look back of Allegro’s A4923, a three-phase sinusoidal motor controller intended to control three-phase brushless DC motors. This device has been available in the market since 2012. The ...

When selecting the appropriate power switches for motor control applications designers are tasked with balancing performance requirements and total system costs. When system costs are the highest ...

Developers can control three-phase motors in minutes with the new ultra-low-cost C2000 Piccolo F2806x InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad development kit from Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN). Developers ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...
