Battery-charging circuits are used to charge portable batteries from an external power source, mostly AC, which, as we know, are very venerable to harmonics. A simple definition of harmonics is additional noise frequency signals that affect the regular …

In 2020, the International Federation of Robotics calculated that three million industrial robots were operating in factories around the world. Each of these robots relies on numerous position sensors, which in turn depend on sophisticated ASICs.

It is not a surprise that electric and hybrid vehicles charging points in the UK are not on a par with their growing numbers on the road; the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) states that the ration between charge points and vehicles to charge has become 31% worse over 2020.

The problem designers face with BLDC motors is that the control algorithms necessary to drive them are complex and often specialised, making them difficult to get them up and running in a reasonable amount of time.

There are many factors adding to interference in electronics, disturbing their functionality and even damaging the devices. Tightly packing components into ever-shrinking spaces makes the situation worse, leading to signals interfering with each other.
