Texas Instruments has announced its InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented control) motor control solution – a sensorless software-based solution built on its FAST (flux, angle, speed and torque) algorithm.

Many industries have delayed the use and adoption of sensorless FOC motor techniques because of the lack of motor control system knowledge, despite the many system benefits these techniques provide.

Texas Instruments attacks motor control with its InstaSpin hardware/software combination. InstaSpin delivers sensorless, field-oriented-control (FOC) using a self profiling motor approach. There are ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced MotorXpert™ v3.0, a software ...

With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...

Developers can control three-phase motors in minutes with the new ultra-low-cost C2000 Piccolo F2806x InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad development kit from Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN). Developers ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Embedded solutions provider MIKROE has introduced the BLDC FOC 2 Click, a compact add-on board designed to deliver precise control of three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors using advanced ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

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 ...
