Mouser Electronics has released a new eBook focusing on motor control. Electric motors are a critical component in a wide array of applications, from vehicles and household appliances to industrial equipment and HVAC systems.
As industries strive for greater sustainability, the challenge lies in maximising motor efficiency while managing costs effectively.
Titled Mastering Motor Control Design, the eBook provides electrical design engineers with practical insights into key system parameters and product selection to achieve optimal performance. It caters to engineers of all experience levels, covering essential topics such as choosing the right motor for specific applications, driver and microcontroller options, power components, motor isolation, and current sensing.
Additionally, the eBook includes direct links to selected motor control products, including the HP8K/HT8K dual-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs from ROHM Semiconductor. These MOSFETs are designed for single and three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors, featuring a heat-dissipating package that enhances performance in high-demand applications.
The NCD83591 from onsemi is another highlighted product, offering a versatile 60V three-phase gate driver with a high gain-bandwidth current sense amplifier. Its compact QFN28 package and high level of integration make it ideal for trapezoidal motor control applications, optimising the overall bill of materials (BOM) cost.
Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) also contributes with its MPQ6541-AEC1 and MPQ6541A-AEC1 motor drivers. These three-phase BLDC drivers come with three integrated half-bridges and offer different input options for flexibility in design. Both devices are equipped with safety features such as automatic synchronous rectification, thermal shutdown, Over-Current Protection (OCP), and Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO).
The eBook further explores the PAC52710 and PAC52711 power application controllers from Qorvo. These system-on-chips (SoCs) are tailored for next-generation smart energy appliances and devices, integrating a 50MHz Arm Cortex-M0 32-bit microcontroller, a multi-mode power manager, a configurable analog front end, and specialised power drivers to create a compact and efficient motor control system.
