In IC design, the typical approach for generating a pulse width-modulated (PWM) signal from an analog value (such as in the control loop for a switch mode power supply) uses a ramp or triangle wave ...

I have been discussing control algorithms for a power supply and idly looking for some easy hardware on which to try the technique – hardware small enough to build into a prototype. See also: An AVR ...

I have been delving (groping blindfold, more accurately) into the Arduino compiler adaptation code to try to determine how it handles the switch-over between its pwm activities, its set-I/O-to-output ...

What is duty cycle? Duty cycle is defined by the percentage of high voltage duration in a complete digital pulse. If the duty cycle is 50%, then it will remain on for exact half the duration of the ...

The point of this guide is to show the latest and greatest in fan control technology on Intel Z270 motherboards and to help you understand what each brand has to offer in their high-end products. I ...

Because of the widespread use of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the efficiency of a synchronous buck converter operating in this mode is well understood. However, relatively few designers understand ...
