August 5, 2005 Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has developed two Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC) aluminium cylinder block engines to power two new models slated for ...

The microcontroller is based on an Arm Cortex-M3. The chip integrates NFET drivers that can drive a three-phase motor or it can control external NFETs. The system includes a charge pump that allows ...

Our project focuses on improving the control system for an electric-vehicle motor, previously used in a racing competition by the UDA E-Team (short for Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador). This project ...

Electronic Stability Control, or ESC, is designed to prevent a driver’s loss-of-control frequently caused by insufficient traction. The two basic loss-of-traction events are referred to as understeer ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for optimising the performance of power electronic converters and motor drive systems. By utilising an explicit model of the controlled ...

Mechanically actuated automotive systems, such as power steering and fuel and water pumps, are being replaced with systems that utilize electric motor technology. Consequently, the presence of ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

STMicroelectronics is upping its game in power electronics with a family of motor drivers that can control the brushed DC and stepper motors at the heart of high-end industrial and consumer ...

New cars are confusing. With all the computers, sensors, and gadgets, it may seem like there's some sort of magical witchcraft taking place under the hood. We're here to show you how modern automotive ...

Many motion applications require high accuracy during and at the completions of moves. Even with perfectly optimized PID (proportional, integral, derivative) values to control position, the ...

Can we improve performance by adding control elements external to the PID loop? Yes. Here we consider torque control and the related subject of torque feedforward — which can make systems run more ...
