In this Design Idea, the total time period of an output pulse’s width is 16 times the pulse width of the input clock. The input clock connects to a binary counter (Figure 1). The output of the binary ...
The MCP1630 is a high-speed, microcontroller-adaptable, pulse width modulator (PWM) designed to develop intelligent power systems. When used with a microcontroller, the MCP1630 will control the power ...
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a fundamental technique in power electronics that facilitates the efficient control of power delivery by modulating the width of voltage or current pulses. This method ...
Simply adding a diode and potentiometer to a 555 timer operating in the asynchronous mode yields a pulsewidth modulator (PWM) with a duty factor adjustable from 1% to 99% (Fig. 1). Applications would ...
When an application requires changes in motor speeds to meet its objectives, a variable frequency drive (VFD) is often the first thing that comes to mind. This is for good reason—VFDs are typically ...
In the realm of test equipment, there are a number of items that you don’t know you need until you need one. That’s probably the case with the HP11720A pulse modulator. [Tom] acquired two of these ...
