Texas Instruments has announced its InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented control) motor control solution – a sensorless software-based solution built on its FAST (flux, angle, speed and torque) algorithm.

Many industries have delayed the use and adoption of sensorless FOC motor techniques because of the lack of motor control system knowledge, despite the many system benefits these techniques provide.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

There are definitely some hefty words in the title but Texas Instruments (TI) has brought something new to the motor control table with its InstaSpin-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution. It is a ...

With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...

Developers can control three-phase motors in minutes with the new ultra-low-cost C2000 Piccolo F2806x InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad development kit from Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN). Developers ...

Today, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), unveils a free, interactive online simulation tool that enables motor designers to assess TI's InstaSPIN-field-oriented-control (FOC) technology. This ...

Toshiba: TB9M030FG, the latest product in the Smart Motor Control Driver “SmartMCD™” series. As the electrification of automotive systems such as water pumps, oil pumps, and fans continues, automobile ...

The worst thing about a volume knob is that, having connected it to a computer, it might be wrong: if you’ve manually altered the volume settings somewhere else, the knob’s reading won’t be correct.

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Sensors are crucial in induction motor drives (IMDs) by providing real-time feedback essential for precise and stable speed control. Malfunctions in speed or current sensors can seriously impair ...
