Highly integrated gate drivers in motor control designs save space

03/06/2019

High power density, high-efficiency, three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors powered by Li-ion batteries enable development of cordless power tools, vacuum cleaners and e-bikes. However, to save space for even more compact electromechanical devices, designers are under pressure to further shrink their motor control electronics, which is no simple task.
