I am going begin a microcontroller based smart toy car project. The project will be in many parts, but the first part is the motor driver. A vast range of motor driver chips and modules are used by ...

Recently, I found an interesting fan motor module in a web shop and grabbed a couple of them for nothing. At the heart of the module is an eight-pin L9110 DC motor control chip from ASIC (www.asic.net ...

AMD has introduced a motor driver starter kit for its Kria K24 system-on-module – which is built around a Zynq UltraScale+ IC and measures 60 x 42 x 11mm. The kit, called KD240 drives starter kit, ...

Very similar types are available from several manufacturers. It is based on a pair of BTS7960 half-bridges from Infineon, with a cmos logic chip included to give them a clean drive from external ...

There seems to be no end in sight for the proliferation of small-to-medium power motor drivers, as the motor applications—especially for brushless-dc (BLDC) types—are being designed into more end ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. At one time, designing products with motors was relatively easy. Brushed dc motors and single-phase ac induction motors didn’t require a lot of extra ...

A modified feedback system for the EcoLine achieves 70 micrometer repeatability while preserving the original coils and power electronics, enabling 45% cost savings. Double-length 500 mm modules ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...
