Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are prevalent in industrial applications due to their robust mechanical dynamics and higher efficiency and power density. In PMSM, vector control contains ...

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 ...

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 ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...

motor control based on a six-step commutation sequence; detection of the magnetic angle of the rotor, to perform the commutation at the correct angle (each step corresponds to an angle of 60 degrees); ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

The smart motor control module—MMP757188-36 in this example—validates the results. Figure 2 The MMP757188-36 is a motor control module for smart motor applications. Source: Monolithic Power Systems ...
