Nanotec has introduced a driver for stepper and brush-less dc (BLDC) motors with sensor-less closed-loop and field-oriented control (FOC). Intended for steppers from NEMA 14 to NEMA 34 and BLDC motors ...

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 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 ...
