Digital Current Loop Significantly Quiets Step Motor Noise
Conventional step “current chopper” drives result in a large amount of step motor noise, needless motor heating, and consume more current. A digital current loop will result in significantly quieter and lower temperature motor operation which is beneficial in many applications. This article details how a digital current loop will result in a significantly quieter, faster running and lower temperature motor operation which is beneficial in many applications.

Optimize A Control Architecture for High Accuracy Syringe Dispensing
Automated Liquid Handling systems are the preferred method when accurate dispensing of liquids is required. Two common architectures for dispensing are contact and jet dispensing. This paper will demonstrate motion control dispensing applications where the required motion accuracy can only be achieved with a closed loop control architecture (position feedback).

Regenerative Braking - Part I: Steady State Analysis
In this two-part piece, we investigate the conditions at which battery regeneration can occur. The emphasis of this article is on regenerative braking and the analysis of a battery powered vehicle operating at a steady state.
