<p>Have you had a chance to watch any <strong>Engineer It</strong> videos yet? We launched this series to bring technical “how to” design topics to life. Be sure to scroll through the list on <a href="http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/video/Search.tsp?term=engineerit&DCMP=engineerit&HQS=engineerit" target="_blank">ti.com/engineerit</a> to find expert advice that could help with your next design. Looking for guidance on how to select an op amp based on datasheet noise specs? <a href="http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/video/Portal.tsp?lang=en&entryid=1_y7ci5nx4" target="_blank">You’ll find a video from amplifiers guru Art Kay there</a>.</p><p><a href="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-03-25/2804.Engineer-It-graphic-for-Analog-Wire.jpg"><img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/200x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-03-25/2804.Engineer-It-graphic-for-Analog-Wire.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p><p>In this recent video, motor driver expert Mike Firth discusses what thermal specs and characteristics to examine when selecting an integrated motor driver. He outlines the key factors that could lead to overheating: RDSON, switching losses, package characteristics and board layout.</p><p>For advice on selecting an integrated motor driver that will ensure your design can “take the heat” of the current you’re trying to drive, watch the video on thermal considerations now. </p><p><img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" border="0" width="0" height="0" src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzNjMxMTQyNjgwNTImcHQ9MTM2MzExNDI3MDcwMyZwPSZkPSZnPTImbz*yMzc2NDUyMjIxN2Q*YTkyYWVkNGUyZThh/MDg3ZWQ4ZiZvZj*w.gif" /><object name="kaltura_player_1363114266" id="kaltura_player_1363114266" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" height="330" width="400" data="http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/1_tpzq5vkl/uiconf_id/2342281"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/1_tpzq5vkl/uiconf_id/2342281" /><param name="flashVars" value="" /><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com">video platform</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/video_platform/video_management">video management</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/solutions/video_solution">video solutions</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/video_platform/video_publishing">video player</a></object></p><p><i>Can’t view the video above? </i><a href="http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/video/Portal.tsp?lang=en&entryid=1_vx0yycs6"><i>Click here</i></a><i>. </i></p>![]()
