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.

Regenerative Braking, Part II
The second part of our regenerative braking and battery regeneration deep-dive uses a theoretical model to prove the existence of steady state regeneration and provides insight into estimating the energy recovered during regenerative conditions of an electric vehicle.

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.
