This note covers operation and applications of the HCNR200 and HCNR201 high-linearity analog optocouplers. Internal operation and the servo control mechanism of the optocouplers are described in ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

A few characteristics of dc motors maintain linear relationships that allow for very predictable operation. First, if enough voltage is applied across the terminals of a dc motor, the output shaft ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource ...

ROHM has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch). They are ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched the TB67S579FTG, a next-generation stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced ...

Printed circuit board motors replace wire windings with copper traces and report about 7% higher efficiency, helping cut energy costs over time.

Unlike brushed varieties, brushless dc motors cannot be operated directly off of straight-line dc voltage. Remember, brushless motors use electronic commutation — so again, no brushes make physical ...
