RE: Poll Seeking Feedback on the Information Provided on Semiconductors for Motor Drives

I don't know any engineers that are building their own motor drives from scratch. I have purchased 8 in the past few years, 6 from Copley controls, and 2 from Kollmorgen. I certainly wouldn't want to try and design one from scratch.

This info is not currently very relevant to my engineering work, but I strive to stay abreast of what technology is available and what its capabilities are, even if I don't have an immediate need. This attitude has paid off innumerable times. The info here is presented in a pretty good format with nice summaries in the Featured Products panels, although I would prefer that the Featured Products also have a direct link to their data sheet as I would typically go there before going to a shopping page, especially for products of this complexity. If there is a product selector guide available, that is also a useful link.

The links to shopping pages are definitely good as those types of links are often more obscure on manufacturer's sites.
