Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

The Arduino-based evaluation kit (EVK) is said to supports the evaluation of ROHM Semiconductor’s motor driver devices and enables, facilitates and accelerates customers’ developments. Designed as a ...

Toshiba has launched an 4 x 4mm QFN24 stepper motor driver that can run from 4.5 to 33V and deliver up to 1.2A. Typical on-resistance of the output block is 1.2Ω. “It is well suited for ...
