PHOENIX -- The Avnet Electronics Marketing operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), Portescap, and Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) announce the launch of a new 10-part, videocast series covering innovative design ideas using motor control products and solutions. Utilizing the capabilities of Portescap's motor portfolio and TI's TMS320C2000™ microcontroller platform, these information-packed videos are each less than 10 minutes long and address such topics as product innovation, design best practices and conventional development considerations.
The new Analog eLab™ video series features engineering and business development subject matter experts from Avnet, Portescap and TI discussing design topics in round-robin sessions. Each video covers a specific motor control topic such as brush vs. brushless motors, techniques for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) control, analog signal processing for speed and position sensors, analog signal processing for voltage and current sensing, as well as an evaluation-board demonstration.
"We pack a lot of information into a short video clip -- using Portescap's motor portfolio and TI's microcontroller library, we are able to demonstrate best practices in motor control design methodology. In less than 10 minutes, we can educate a customer on how they can speed up their design cycle time, while lowering the cost of manufacturing," said Alex Iuorio, senior vice president of supplier business development for Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas.
"Our latest series of Analog eLab videocasts will demonstrate innovative design techniques and products to help simplify and improve motor control systems," said Steve Parks, vice president of worldwide analog marketing at Texas Instruments. "The combination of TI's strong analog and digital portfolio, Portescap's broad line of motors, and Avnet's global presence gives customers complete targeted solutions with global reach and local support."
