The push-button switches have also passed a 48-hour salt spray test and a five-cycle reflow soldering test. The plastic material is UL94-approved for flammability. The new WS-RSTV (Rocker Switch THT ...

Steve Tateosian, senior vice president for Infineon’s IoT, Compute & Wireless Business Unit, talks about how tighter control loops and higher switching frequencies in MCUs are enabling these new ...

A multi-motor drive, which independently controls multiple motors by a single microcontroller and converter, reduces the system cost by reducing the drive system parts count. This paper proposes ...

This topic shows how to control DC motor rotation direction and speed using an Arduino microcontroller and L293D motor driver chip. A pot is used to control motor speed, and two switches are used to ...

Here’s a RoundUp of this week’s must-read articles – we’ll delve into the latest developments on Motor Control, SmartSiC, and BiGaN Switches!

A new piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter jointly developed by University of California San Diego and CEA-Leti scientists unifies all power switches onto a single chip, significantly increasing power ...

When it comes to push-button switches, “momentary” and “latching” seem to be at odds with each other, with different mechanisms inside the switch to turn one into the other. What gives?

The most important functions implemented in a motor controller are the following: Regulation of motor speed, torque, or power output Control of startup phase (soft start) Protection against circuit ...

Fortunately, both the speed and direction of a DC motor can be controlled via an Arduino microcontroller. Let’s get into details. Direction control A circuit known as an H-bridge may be used to alter ...
