A Z-source Inverter (ZSI) is a DC-to-AC converter that can perform both buck and boost functions as a single stage. A unique attempt of ZSI is the shoot through state, by which two switches of the ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer some significant advantages over other categories of electric motors, such as brushed motors. Compared with the latter, which are cheaper, BLDC motors require a ...

Startup techniques employed to overcome the problem of determining magnet position in BLDC designs. Cost-saving and power-efficiency incentives using sensorless motor drivers. Motor-driver solutions ...

The demand for permanent magnet brushless dc motors (BLDC) is steadily rising. Their growing use is the result of three important factors: First, a BLDC motor is inherently more reliable than a ...
