TI’s solid-state relays tout industry-leading reliability
TI's new portfolio of solid-state relays can help make EVs safer while reducing solution size up to 90% and cost by as much as 50%.
Why microstepping in stepper motors isn’t as good as you think
When designing a motion control system using stepper motors, do not assume that the holding torque of motor still applies when microstepping.
After all these years, brushed motors still alive and kicking
Despite the ascendance of brushless and stepper motors, the classic brushed DC motor is still viable for many cutting-edge applications.
