The Secret to Quiet, Efficient BLDCs: The Motor Driver (Download)

At one time, designing products with motors was relatively easy. Brushed dc motors and single-phase ac induction motors didn’t require a lot of extra hardware—and no software—to design a product.

Today, though, these motors are mostly being replaced with brushless dc (BLDC) motors. They’re much more sophisticated, efficient, and quiet, but do require a great deal of design knowledge and effort, including software development. Now, your ability to design BLDC products just got easier thanks to an integrated circuit that lets you achieve all of the benefits offered by these motors.
