Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

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 ...

Freescale has always been known for supplying high performance digital signal controllers (DSC) and digital signal processors (DSP) for motor control and power management systems. The Freescale ...

At CES, MPS highlighted how its motor-control ICs can enable smarter, more precise control of brushless DC motors that are multiplying across robotics and other industries.

This week we continue on with another video in our series about how to program for the ATmega328p processor using C. The ATmega328p is at the heart of many Arduino boards. If you have been using them ...

The DPW Series pulse-width-modulated dc motor-speed control designed in a compact SMT package. The RoHS-compliant models are rated from 2 to 10-A continuous output at 120/240 Vac. Machine Design ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this article we will discuss how to build a powerful DC motor driver that can be controlled using a microcontroller like an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, or even a standalone PWM generator chip. DC ...
