Part 1 of this feature discussed mixed-signal integration challenges and driver-circuit concepts. With so called automatic “mixed decay” current shaping, design engineers can work around the tedious ...

Allegro announces a new DMOS full-bridge motor driver to complement their parallel-input DC motor driver family. Designed for PWM control of DC motors, the A3950 is capable of peak output currents to ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...

Fault protection is a critical function of all power supply controllers. Nearly all applications require some kind of over-load protection. For peak current-mode controllers this is easily ...
