Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer some significant advantages over other categories of electric motors, such as brushed motors. Compared with the latter, which are cheaper, BLDC motors require a ...

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 ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Brushless-dc motors are taking center stage in medical-equipment design because they last twice as long a competing technologies. • Sensorless brushless-dc-drives have evolved to a point where they ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors offer multiple benefits over other types of dc motors. They’re efficient, reliable, run at high speeds, are compact for their power level, and produce little or no EMI.

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...
