A high-current quad SPST analog switch can be configured as a full-bridge amplifier capable of driving low-power dc motors. By adding a sense resistor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: With the driver ICs available today, brushed DC motor control is a snap to integrate in building-, home-, and industrial-automation applications. Motors are everywhere, ...

To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

Controlling a small dc motor without speed control sounds like a trivial task; a switch or a relay should suffice. However, several problems accompany this approach. For one, the switch, because of ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

It is estimated that the average car has around 80 electric motors - many due to motorists’ insatiable demand for greater comfort and convenience. In a top-range Mercedes-Benz, for example, there are ...
