Appliances that use bi-directional motors include washing machines and transporter belts. This app note shows the benefits of using triacs instead of mechanical relays to control the motors. To view ...

This application note discusses a bidirectional brushed DC motor control employing PIC16F684. It explains how to use Enhanced, Capture, Compare, and PWM (ECCP) on PIC16F684. Low-cost BDC motor control ...

Allegro® introduced the A3908, a low voltage bi-directional dc motor driver with a typical input voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V and output currents up to 500 mA Allegro® introduced the A3908, a new ...

Maxim has introduced a bi-directional current sense amplifier with pulse-width modulation (PWM) edge rejection. Called MAX40056 it is intended to reduce vibration in motor drives. The claim is that it ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Designers of motion control applications are under pressure to optimize performance and efficiency while keeping component count and space to an absolute minimum. The ideal situation is sensorless ...

Yamaha Motor has filed a patent for a boat maneuvering system that includes an operating unit with an operator and a controller to control propulsion force. The system shifts to a hold control state ...
