[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

Alllegro MicroSystems, LLC rolled out a new 40 V motor driver IC capable of driving one stepper motor and one DC motor. The stepper driver outputs are rated up to 1.6 A and the DC driver at 3.2 A.

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

ROHM has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch). They have been developed for use in home and office appliances such as refrigerators, ...

New motor driver ICs focus on ultra-low standby power, flexible H-bridge configurations, and reduced external components to support compact consumer and industrial motor control applications.
