When selecting the appropriate power switches for motor control applications designers are tasked with balancing performance requirements and total system costs. When system costs are the highest ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. A new three-phase inverter reference design fosters greater speed and higher precision positioning with superior efficiency. Greater use of robots in the world of ...

Isolated IGBT gate driver requires isolated power supply for safety isolation and level shifting. Unfortunately design of isolated power supply based on standard power control IC is not trivial.

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is an efficient method for controlling the light intensity of a lamp or the speed of a simple DC motor. It lets you take advantage of the load's inertia by switching the ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...
