TI Spins Motors in Minutes with Sensorless, Brushless DC Motor Drivers
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) had added two 3-phase, brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers that allow designers to spin motors in minutes rather than months. Traditional BLDC motor designs require five to 10 components, along with firmware. The sensorless 5-V, 680-mA DRV10866 and the 12-V, 1.5-A DRV11873 cuts this component count to one with no firmware […]
