Sunnyvale, Calif. – A vacuum-fluorescent display (VFD) controller from Maxim Integrated Products features embedded fonts, multiplex timing control and filament timing for flicker-free displays.

The LCD/VFD controller project is based on HD44870 where the control command is compatible with Matrix-Orbital’s LCD module. The controller is based on a PIC16F873 MCU and in the design, there is no ...

Many of us will have experimented with brushless motors, and some of us will have built our own controllers rather than using an off-the-shelf part. Doing so is a good way to understand their ...

The growth of advanced computing power embedded in a growing number of devices is changing the face of automation, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are a big part of this trend. Capable of ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) regulates the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power it delivers to the motor. These devices, also known as ...
