Analog circuits are often used to advantage to offload tasks from microcomputers freeing them up to concentrate on higher priority tasks while the analog circuit performs its function independent of ...
Those following the ProtoStack tutorials will be happy to hear that there is a new installment which explains Pulse Width Modulation. If you’ve never heard of PWM before, it’s a method of generating a ...
Why PWM? Switch-mode converters employ a power semiconductor switch (usually a MOSFET) to drive a magnetic element (transformer or inductor) whose rectified output produces a dc voltage. Efficiencies ...
Included among the many applications for pulse-width modulation (PWM) are voltage regulation, power-level control, and fan-speed control. A PWM circuit for such systems can be implemented with three ...
A pulse-width modulator (PWM) is a common way of generating analog outputs from a digital component. A PWM replaces a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that generates analog voltage or current ...
Although the Altera MAX IIZ CPLD is a digital programmable logic device, it is versatile enough to control analog systems. This article shows how MAX IIZ CPLDs – alone or with a few passive ...
