When designing a motor control circuit, it’s vital to determine how to deliver the high current required to drive the motor. Designers must choose whether to use monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) ...

Everybody agrees: motors and their control electronics were not created as equals. They live in two different environments. Electronic controls enjoy the safer, cooler, and more centralized enclosures ...

A three-phase BLDC motor drive inverter board, the EPC9176 from EPC, employs a GaN power stage to enable smaller, more efficient motor drives. The development board features the EPC23102 ePower Stage ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Donut Lab, which unveiled a family of in-wheel electric motors at CES 2025, has spent almost a decade searching for one of the holy grails of the EV industry: in-wheel motors that actually work. These ...

Elektor International Media sent me a copy of Martin Brown’s book, Power Electronics in Motor Drives: Principles, Application and Design. Brown worked with Siemens UK for almost 30 years and designed ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

The BLV Series R Type features an all-new 100/200 W BLDC motor and driver design for battery-powered robotics applications like AGVs and AMRs. The compact driver has reduced its volume and mass by 80% ...

EPC’s evaluation kit for a three-phase inverter platform based on its Gen-7 EPC2366 eGaN power transistor streamlines motor drives in commercial, industrial, and consumer apps. The EPC91121 is a ...
