Pocatello, Idaho — AMI Semiconductor has introduced two single-chip stepper motor driver ICs that are said to significantly reduce component count and bill of materials (BOM) cost in dynamic motion ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...
