Allegro Microsystems, LLC releases a new high current integrated DC motor drive IC, the A5950. Allegro’s A5950 is designed for PWM control of DC motors and capable of peak output currents up to ±3 A.

How does a dc motor operate, and what's the impact of back EMF? Difference between continuous and stall current. How is current regulation applied in dc motor drivers? Oftentimes, the motor driver and ...

Systems that have controlled parameters and closed-loop feedback mechanisms are generally more robust and less susceptible to failure. For example, vehicle engines regularly use temperature sensors ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

Maxon Precision Motor's newly released DC servo motor controller, the ESCON 50/5 OEM module. This mini OEM plug in module is a 4 quadrant Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) servo motor controller that can ...

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Racer series, ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between ...
