PWM circuits and projects
PWM circuits - related electronic projects and circuit diagrams (schematics), this helps you finding desired informations and facilitates your site navigation through all articles database. In every website page you will find a special section (at the beginning or the end) with tags just like this and also different tags associated with the current article. Tags inter-links stories with related PWM articles.
Pulse Width Modulation or PWM technology is used in Inverters to give a steady output voltage of 230 or 110 V AC irrespective of the load. The Inverters based on the PWM technology are more superior to the conventional inverters. The use of MOSFETs in the output stage and the PWM technology makes these inverters ideal for all types of loads. In addition to the pulse width modulation, the PWM Inverters have additional circuits for protection and voltage control.
This PWM Controller circuit is ideal for controlling small motors with 2A maximum current consumption. For higher currents you need additional cooling for T2 and increase C2 value. This pwm motor controller is using the fact that the small dc motor has the revolution speed depending on the power supply voltage.
This DC power supply controller is controlled by pulse width modulation PWM, generated by the circuit around timer IC2 7555 according to the formula:
Duty cycle = ((R1 + (VR1/2)/(R1+R2+VR1)) x 100%
Diode D1 is used to bypass resistor R2 and half the effective resistance of the “lower” section of VR1, allowing the duty cycle to be varied from 0.01% to 99.9%.
