    How to convert 312v dc into 15v dc?

    dc to dc converter That would be a terribly small duty cycle for a buck. You might want to use two stages, or a flyback topology (which would also give you isolation).

    controlling power on/off with a thermistor or other circuit.

    You can probably look up something like a "thermal switch" or a "thermostat" on digikey or equivalent... Usually these have different thresholds for turn on and turn off.

    difference between servo motor and 3-phase synchronous motor

    Servo motor question Hi, I think what makes a motor a servo is the way you control it (in a closed loop fashion). Therefore, three phase synchronous and asynchronous motors can be used as servo motors. The methods used to control these two types of motors are different, because of the fact...

    Vibration of BLDC motor in Low speed region

    bldc low speed Hi, If the same motor/sensor assembly worked better with a different drive, it is likely that your problem is in your control loop. Try changing your controller gains and see if it helps.

    delayed output for op-amp

    You could make the initial signal go through a R-C line, then use a comparator on the output with a fixed threshold.

    Multiplexer with output set to ground-how would ignal react?

    Multiplexer If you're talking about discharging capacitors, that could work. I'd use a resistor to ground though to limit the current.

    Simple question! magnitude vs. amplitude

    Re: Simple question! I believe they are the same thing (peak value). In A x sin(wt), A is the magnitude/amplitude. If you have a sine wave and feed it to an amplifier, you will increase its amplitude (or magnitude), and possibly get a phase shift. Regards,

    What parameter decide the optimum PWM frequency for commutation of the BLDC?

    BLDC pwm technique If you increase the PWM frequency, your mosfets will heat up more, but your AC ripple current will be smaller. On the other hand, as your ripple increases you will get more core losses in your motor. The maximum frequency will be dictated by your mosfets' cooling and the PWM...

    Mixed signal design issue

    Hi, You could use the same voltage you use for the digital side, with some capacitance and possibly a linear regulator, but you'd have to be careful with your grounding (connect analog and digital grounds at one point).

    design a special switch mode power supply

    capacitor on output of switch mode Are you sure about that output ripple requirement ? This is going to be quite difficult to achieve. I'm curious how you'll get there. Good luck !

    Motion DC Brushed motor PIC18Fxx41

    to to count with qei Hi, I suppose you have an H bridge to drive your motor. In this case, if duty cycle is >50% you'll give positive voltage and rotate positively, and vice versa. If you want to do position control, you can use the encoder and use the difference between desired and actual...

    help with my UPS problem

    my ups not working Looks like the bandwidth of your output filter is a little bit too high. I'd recommend increasing that 0.1uF capacitor. Also, make sure you have some deadtime in your switching commands to prevent shoot through.

    buzz of harddisk/DVDRW audible through speakers

    I'd recommend you use shielded wires on the power cables to the hard disk and the DVD drive. You can also add more capacitance close to them...

    BLDC motor from old HDD

    three wire hdd motor Yes, it'll be an interesting project ! You can use the 4th wire to measure the back-emf of the motor on the unused phase in order to implement a sensorless algorithm. You can use the zero crossing points of the back emf to run the motor at moderate to high speeds. A lot of...

    BLDC motor from old HDD

    bldc motor hi ! Yes, you should be able to run your BLDC with a controller. Since you don't have position sensors, you'll need a sensorless one, or an open loop one, and you'll need to tune it. If you are using a uC, you can directly implement code to control the motor (with a 3 phase FET...
