Cordless tool-related applications need to control a brushed-DC (BDC) or brushless-DC (BLDC) motor to apply dynamic torque at a constant speed (such as drills and saws), or a constant torque at a dynamic speed (such as blowers). In many designs, the user can adjust the speed of the motor while applying torque to the motor to perform an action, like cutting or drilling wood with a bit, blade, chain, or wheel.

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create a compact, efficient and fully protected power stage module for industrial and collaborative robots.

In today’s highly connected world, more products than ever rely on battery power. Batteries are everywhere, from cordless power tools to robot vacuums, and even the e-bikes and electric vehicles you see on your commute. These products and many others like them utilize battery management systems (BMS) to ensure power is safely supplied throughout the product.

In our modern world, motors are used in many products, such as power tools, e-bike, e-car, industrial robot, and more. BLDC (brushless DC) and PMSM (permanent-magnet synchronous motor) motors in particular provide advantages in terms of high efficiency, low noise and long life. For the control method of the BLDC or PMSM, field-oriented control (FOC) algorithms are used in many applications where the motor needs to run smoothly with high efficienc...

There are many different types of process inputs in the world of process control. Including temperature, humidity, flow, level, and pressure. These process inputs need to be measured by sensors that can convert measurements into suitable signal formats (either analog or digital), and then transmit those signals through a transmitter to a receiver, which interprets the signal and makes a control decision. T

Step on the pedal of a modern electric vehicle (EV) and you’re rewarded with quick, smooth acceleration. Should you be satisfied? Absolutely not. And you don’t have to be, because higher performance and longer driving range are coming to EVs. Because of the way EVs turn stored energy into propulsion, many of these improvements happen at the electrical level rather than at the traction motors level. 

The UCC5880-Q1 device is an isolated, highly configurable adjustable slew-rate gate driver targeted to drive high power SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs in EV/HEV applications. Power transistor protections such as shunt resistor based over-current, overtemperature (PTC, NTC, or diode), and DESAT detection, including selectable soft turn-off or twolevel soft turn-off during these faults.

As the demand for smart, automated and eco-friendly end-equipment continues to grow, industrial and automotive technologies are becoming increasingly electrified. With this trend also comes an increased emphasis on ensuring electronic systems not only meet standards of EV performance but safety standards as well.

Electric-vehicle designers can increase the safety and reliability of traction inverter systems by monitoring the gate voltage threshold. When a consumer purchases a vehicle, they assume that the design engineers did their due diligence to create a safe product. In order to achieve a necessary level of safety, especially in regard to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 standards, subsystems within a vehicle such as the tra...

With increasing competition between electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to develop models with lower cost and longer drive range, power system engineers are under pressure to reduce power losses and improve traction inverter system efficiency, which can improve driving ranges and provide a competitive advantage.

TIDM-2014 is a 800-V, 300 kW SiC-based traction inverter system reference design developed by Texas Instruments and Wolfspeed which provides a foundation for design engineers to create highperformance, high-efficiency traction inverter systems and get to market faster.

Traction inverters are the main consumer of battery power in electric vehicles (EVs), with power levels reaching 150 kW or higher. The efficiency and performance of traction inverters directly impact an EV’s driving range on a single charge. Therefore, to build the next generation of these systems, the industry has widely adopted silicon carbide (SiC) field-effect transistors (FETs) to enable higher reliability, efficiency and power density...

The TI Dynamic Multi-Protocol solution allows multiple wireless protocols to run concurrently using a singleradio, handling any timing conflicts that occur when multiple protocols request access to the radio duringthe same time period. To understand the system performance ramifications of operating multiple protocols inparallel, it is important to understand how the scheduler is making decisions.

Selecting the right wireless connectivity technology is a critical design decision from the beginning. This determines the protocol interoperability, distance, robustness and the use-cases for your application. This selection guide will walk you through several key decision requirements starting with the table below as a high-level summary of various wireless connectivity technologies.

Designing high-voltage applications comes with a unique set of challenges. That's why our power conversion, current and voltage sensing, isolation and real-time control technologies work together to simplify high-voltage designs, helping you reach the highest levels of efficiency and reliability.
