This application note describes a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor control using a sensorless algorithm. This cost-effective solution is based on the Freescale Semiconductor MPC5606B device, a ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many operating attributes in performance and controllability, but they may require a position (rotation) sensor such as an encoder, resolver, or Hall-effect device to ...

Let us begin this session by revisiting a nostalgic motor control IC—the AN6651—designed for rotating speed control of compact DC motors used in tape recorders, record players, and similar devices.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...
