The simple circuit was designed using a 555 timer and pulse width modulation for controlling the speed of DC motor. The pulse width modulation (PWM) pertains to the process of switching the power ...

What is pulse width modulation? Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful digital technique for controlling analog circuits with a microprocessor’s digital outputs. PWM is employed in a wide variety ...

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 ...

We use DC fans in many systems in our day to day life. For example, CPU fans, fume extinguishers and many more appliances which we make use of, are operated by DC. This is a project used to control ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the VIPer01 high-voltage converters from STMicroelectronics (ST). Part of the VIPerPlus family of high-voltage converters based on ST’s Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) ...

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 ...
