Insights

Notes from the bench.

Plain-language technical notes on soft switching, sensorless control, FPGA real-time, and wide-bandgap power. No trade secrets, just the reasoning.

Why soft switching cuts EMI at the source

Where switching noise actually comes from, and why a gentler edge beats a bigger filter.

Read →

Sensorless FOC that starts under load

Why position estimators fall over at the hard moments, and what it takes to hold through them.

Read →

What deterministic FPGA latency buys a control loop

Why "fast on average" is not the same as "on time," and where that gap costs you.

Read →

GaN or SiC: choosing the device for your drive

Two wide-bandgap paths, and a straight answer on which fits which application.

Read →

What a drive can tell you about its own health

The estimator that runs the motor is also a condition sensor. What its parameter drift reveals.
