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 ...

A friend bought an electric jacket to wear on his motorcycle. But it was on all the time when it was plugged in, which made him sweaty at certain temperature ranges. He was looking for a way to ...

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 ...

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 ...
