This application note presents Z16FMC microcontroller used to control 3-phase brushless BLDC motors in a sinusoidal PWM modulation mode. It discusses the ways in which to implement sinusoidal PWM ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide bandgap ...

Pulse width modulation (PWM) control, which uses variable-width digital pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog waveform, has been around for decades. The first specialized PWM IC dates back to ...

This article explores how industrial motor control is evolving from a standalone control function into a connected, ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Over the years, power supply designers have been persuaded that current mode is superior to its voltage-mode counterpart. As a result, the major PWM ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...
