This paper discusses why appliance designers should consider Hall-effect sensor integrated circuits (ICs) for motor control. This document covers several key design characteristics that improve motor ...

Motor control circuits in appliances including refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners, need to operate more efficiently, reliably and safely while meeting cost requirements. With energy ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a three-phase brushless DC motor control pre-driver IC, “TC78B011FTG,” and started volume ...

Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly ...
