Microstepping is a major advancement in step motor technology introduced many years ago that allows motors to make finer steps in movement. By manipulating the current vector, microstepping creates ...

IC has two-line Step and Direction interface and efficient DMOS output. Thomas Rowan, Allegro Microsystems, Worcester, Mass. Most microstepping motor drivers require control lines for DACs to set the ...

Last spring, in response to California's recent electricity shortage, Governor Gray Davis signed a bill into law that provides financial incentives for upgrades that improve the efficiency of motor ...

Arcus Technology has developed an all-in one NEMA 11 microstep motor with driver, controller and encoder integrated into the motor’s back cap, minimising external electronics and wiring.

Toshiba has launched the TB67S579FTG, a stepper motor driver IC featuring Advanced Microstep Technology. This two-phase, bipolar stepper motor driver employs a constant current control method. Target ...

The Dereneville Modulaire MK III crafted by AVDesignHaus is considered the best turntable in the world (Fig. 1). Although the investment for this fine system might be extremely high, audiophiles love ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

This application note presents Z16FMC microcontroller used to control 3-phase brushless BLDC motors in a sinusoidal PWM modulation mode. It discusses the ways in which to implement sinusoidal PWM ...

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These chips ...
