[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 ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motor… ...

Texas Instruments attacks motor control with its InstaSpin hardware/software combination. InstaSpin delivers sensorless, field-oriented-control (FOC) using a self profiling motor approach.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces a new three-phase, sensorless, brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller for use with external complementary P-channel and N-channel power MOSFETs.

At the heart of the InstaSPIN-FOC LaunchPad, a TI Piccolo F28027F MCU implements complex FOC (field-oriented control) algorithms, allowing designers to tune designs for all three-phase sensorless ...

Electronic enthusiasts, developers and makers searching for a modular sensorless BLDC motor controller, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Igor Chekhovtsov and this week ...

Along with Active-Semi's motor control firmware and IP library, the PAC5232 will simplify system development with sensored and sensorless FOC and sensorless trapezoidal motor control applications ...

ON Semiconductor is adding to its portfolio of motor controllers with the introduction of the LV8907UW. The device supports an operating voltage range from 5.5 to 20 volts (4.5 to 40 V transient) and, ...

Engineers can use TI InstaSPIN-FOC technology, embedded in the read-only-memory (ROM) on the C2000 Piccolo F2802x MCU to accelerate motor control development while improving efficiency for ...

Sensorless vector control, also known as field-oriented control, outputs performance comparable to that of a motor drive using position/velocity feedback — in turn decreasing drive-system cost.
