Brushed DC motors are widely used in applications ranging from toys to push-button adjustable car seats. Brushed DC motors are inexpensive, easy to drive, and are readily available in all sizes and ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...

The circuit illustrates the operation of solid state switches as it controls the movement and the direction of the motor as denoted by the LED. DC Motor – a single coil apparatus used to convert ...

Thermal dissipation is a byproduct of many modern semiconductor devices and has improved with low-leakage, low-power CMOS processes. But as designers cram more processing power into smaller spaces, ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...
