Demand for low-cost, robust motor drives has spurred increased use of sensorless vector control of induction and BLDC motors — in everything from consumer products to industrial applications, in ...

A Z-source Inverter (ZSI) is a DC-to-AC converter that can perform both buck and boost functions as a single stage. A unique attempt of ZSI is the shoot through state, by which two switches of the ...

[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

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 ...

Turkish researchers have developed an algorithm to distinguish faults and changes in PV plant output. The sensorless method only uses electrical data gathered from the DC inputs of inverters. They ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Melexis has come out with a 24V/60W sensorless single-coil BLDC driver designed for motor, fan and pump applications for both consumer and industrial electronics. At present, many consumer and ...

The DRV10983 is a 24 V, 3-phase sensorless brushless DC motor controller with integrated power MOSFETs that provides continuous drive current up to 2 A. This devices is intended for cost-sensitive, ...

Researchers at the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) R&D Center have developed a novel sensorless self-thermometry approach to estimate PV module operating temperature. Dubbed the ...
