Texas Instruments has announced its InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented control) motor control solution – a sensorless software-based solution built on its FAST (flux, angle, speed and torque) algorithm.

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: FOC capability, once considered too expensive to implement in cost-sensitive applications, is now possible using a microprocessor family combined with an innovative new ...

With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...

Texas Instruments has optimised a pair of DSPs for field-oriented motor control in domestic appliances such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. “Their capabilities, including ...
