Engineers often use a gate driver or “pre-driver” IC along with N-channel power MOSFETs to provide the high current needed to drive motors. It’s important to account for all the design considerations ...

Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...

Rohm is aiming at motor drives operating on 24, 36 or 48V with n-channel mosfets rated at 40, 60, 100 or 150V to give some leeway for spikes and noise. There are two series with 13 devices all-told: ...

Apex Microtechnology has announced the release of the MSA303, the latest member to its family of integrated power modules. The module utilizes silicon carbide MOSFET technology to improve efficiency ...

There are easier-to-use alternatives to the thyristor (aka SCR) based mains fed motor controllers used to control ‘180Vdc’ brushed electric motors. These are mosfet choppers, but they tend to cost ...

A family of NovalithIC components from Infineon integrates the control chip and MOSFETs into a single component. Rutronik expects this to bring a new level of performance to integrated and protected ...

TRINAMIC’s new IC, the TMC2660, supports motor drive currents up to 4 A while integrating both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, and power MOSFETS for amplification ...

Combining the benefits of its semiconductor process and packaging innovations, STMicroelectronics has introduced the STV250N55F3, a 250-A power MOSFET with a typical on-resistance of just 1.5 mÙ.

MOSFET startup Inergy Technology has recently developed new BLDC electric motor drivers for cloud server and data center cooling systems. Trial production with major server customers in Japan and ...
