This application note presents the vector control of a 3-phase AC induction motor using the Z8FMC16100 microcontrollers. This document also briefly describes the series of Z8FMC16100 flash ...

This application note presents space vector modulation, a technique that can be applied for AC inductor motors and 3-phae BLDC motor types. It demonstrates how Zilog’s Z16FMC MCU can implement ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

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

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

The new three-phase motor control code and Motor-Expert 2.0 tool are offered as part of the Motor-Expert Suite under a free license for use with BridgeSwitch ICs. BridgeSwitch ICs are priced starting ...

The flux-oriented control (FOC) is a commonly used technique for three-phase electric motor control application. Here, the applied voltage pattern is defined using the space vector modulation (SVM) ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Keep in mind when reading any article about electrical theory or application that it only scratches the surface of the topic. You can dedicate years of your life to understanding electrical theory and ...

What consumes more than half of the world's electricity and supports nearly every facet of industrial production? The answer is the AC induction motor. Although these motors typically tolerate ...
