Mouser Electronics, Inc., a leading global distributor of the latest electronic components and industrial automation products, is excited to announce the release of a new eBook titled Mastering Motor Control Design.   This comprehensive resource provides a deep dive into the essential aspects of motor control, crucial for a wide range of applications—from cars and refrigerators to yard tools, elevators, and air conditioning systems.   As the push for a more sustainable future intensifies, the challenge lies in maximizing efficiency while balancing costs.

The eBook is designed for electrical design engineers of all experience levels, offering practical insights into system parameters and product selection to achieve optimal performance.   Key topics covered include:

· Selecting the appropriate motor type for specific applications

· Options for drivers and microcontrollers

· Essential motor power components

· Motor isolation and current sensing techniques

· And much more

Additionally, the eBook features convenient links to recommended motor control products.   Among these are the HP8K/HT8K dual-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs by ROHM Semiconductor, ideal for single and three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors, thanks to their innovative backside heat-dissipating package.

Another highlighted product is the NCD83591 from onsemi, a user-friendly, 60V multi-purpose three-phase gate driver equipped with a high gain-bandwidth current sense amplifier—perfect for trapezoidal motor control applications.   This device comes in a compact QFN28 package, which optimizes overall bill of materials (BOM) costs with its high level of integration.

The eBook also discusses the MPQ6541-AEC1 and MPQ6541A-AEC1 from Monolithic Power Systems (MPS), which are three-phase BLDC motor drivers featuring three integrated half-bridges.   The MPQ6541A-AEC1 includes separate high-side (HS) and low-side (LS) inputs, while the MPQ6541-AEC1 integrates enable (ENBL) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) inputs for each half-bridge.   Both devices are equipped with automatic synchronous rectification, thermal shutdown protection, Over-Current Protection (OCP), and Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO).

Lastly, the PAC52710 and PAC52711 power application controllers from Qorvo are optimized system-on-chips (SoCs) designed for controlling and powering next-generation smart energy appliances.   These controllers feature a 50MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit microcontroller core, a multi-mode power manager, a configurable analog front end, and application-specific power drivers, creating a compact motor control system.

This eBook is an invaluable tool for engineers looking to enhance their understanding of motor control and improve system performance in their designs
