Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, is introducing the RAA227063 Smart Gate Driver for brushless DC (BLDC) motor applications. The new device is programmable via an SPI interface, enabling it to support both motors with rotor position sensors and sensorless applications. It also provides programmable gate-drive voltage, offering support for N-channel MOSFETs…
TI launches industry’s first 70-W brushless DC motor drivers
Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the industry’s first 70-W brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers to provide code-free, sensorless trapezoidal and field-oriented control (FOC). The devices enable engineers to spin a BLDC motor in less than 10 minutes — eliminating months of design time for engineers designing a wide variety of industrial systems (such as major…
