Your car's camshaft — or camshafts if your vehicle has a DOHC engine — is a vital component that plays a critical role in the internal combustion process. Its job is to synchronize the opening and ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

What’s being described as an “onboard weather station,” the 3.6L twin-turbo LF3 V6 engine launching in the 2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport and 2014 CTS Vsport this fall is equipped with a set of sensors that ...

Don't let failing oxygen sensors compromise your engine's performance. O2 sensors are critical to emissions control on your car, SUV or truck. As the name implies, the O2 sensor (also called an ...

There are a million and one things that could go wrong with a car engine. In old times, it was solely up to the owner and/or technician to drudge through possible issues until they determined what was ...

This application note presents BLDC motor control using sensor sinusoidal PWM modulation with Z32F128 microcontroller. It also discusses ways on how to implement sinusoidal PWM modulation and ...
