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 ...

Feel like breaking out of your streaming-induced vegetative state but can’t seem to break the binge-watching cycle? Maybe you’re a candidate for this exercise bike that controls how much Netflix you ...

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 ...

I’ve spent a lot of my career building analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from whatever bits of stuff I can find lying around. In many cases, someone has decided that an analog signal needs to be ...

The iPhone 17 models include an Accessibility setting to disable pulse width modulation (PWM), according to information found in the iOS 26 release candidate. There will be a toggle located in the ...
