Hello, I'm trying to make 3 PWM circuits to control 3 different thermoelectric coo= lers (peltier cooler) I'm aware that ideally you shouldn't run these with a PWM, that's fine, and= I'm only using these in one direction, only as a heater. So I made a simple PWM, with a Linear Tech. PWM part, a high side FET drive= r and a FET. and the thing works ok for 1 heater, but once I plug t...

Hi, I need to control a solenoid valve using PWM but I have also some specifications about "the dither" in order to reduce friction etc.. I now what the dither is able to do in theory. I now how to built an electronic circuit concerning PWM (I'd do that using a micro plus a MOSFET etc.) but I don't have any idea about "the dither". Should I sum another PWM with lower frequency to the hi...

I'm building a PWM regulator for an incandescent bulb. Some of thos was described in a thread called "RMS Approximation of PWM/Square wave". In any case. Since there is no inductor/diode/cepacitor in the output stage I'll be using an RMS converter (LTC1968). For the PWM section I'm using the MIC1557 (SOT-23 size 555 equiv) for a R-C sawtooth to a comparator (TLV7211a) inverting input. I can c...

Hi everyone, I've an half H-bridge motor driver controlled via a PWM. We read current on the phase terminal and regulate the PWM accordingly through a PID. The exercise is to play with all parameters (transfer function, sampling frequency, adc resolution, pwm resolution) in order to get the right precision on the output. I wanted to model the loop with something like MATLAB or Octav...

Does anybody make an IC that takes I2C command and outputs duty cycle (PWM)? I need to control bunch of TECs from CPU and I2C-> PWM seems the most efficient (and smallest) way to do it. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks Michael

I have a FET and a load and a micro outputting PWM. I want to convert the PWM to DC (low-pass filtered?) which will control the current through the FET. I also want to be able to calibrate the DC voltage such that for any given PWM duty-cycle I want to be able to adjust the resulting DC voltage plus or minus a yet-to-be-determined percentage. This will probably need to be done only...

Hi all, I want to make a V to PWM circuit. (For a servoed heater.) I drew a triangle wave into a comparator, and that seems simple enough. Though it will take a few IC for the triangle wave. (I guess I could use an opamp and dual comparator.) So I went searching for V-PWM IC's. Most are for SMPS controll, which seem overly complicated for what I want. I also want a fairly low...

I need an isolated analog output (many of them, actually) with, say, 1 PPM programmability and linearity. An optocoupled DAC would be silly, so I'll use PWM. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53724080/Circuits/PWM_WB_P470.JPG If I start at 200 MHz, and do a 20 bit (1 PPM) pwm, the output frequency would be 200 Hz. If I use a 3-pole lowpass filter (not too much delay) it has to be -...

How much more efficient is PWM over ordinary dc? eg in terms of battery useage, can I double the life between charges? Hardy

Folks, Does anyone know an IC that can turn a control voltage into PWM and can handle PWM frequencies in the 50-1000kHz range? Similar to a class D driver but has to go down to DC. The changes in control would be restricted to the audio spectrum below 15kHz. The LTC6992 does this nicely but isn't precise enough. Same with 555-style timers or switcher chips. I am looking for better 1% and...

Could some electronics guru please clarify the following. I understand that Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) uses a high fixed frequency carrier signal (e.g., triangle wave) and a low frequency modulation signal -- or even a DC level. If I were to use PWM for motor control, and use a fixed frequency triangle wave carrier, what would be the modulating signal in this case ? Is the output PWM sig...

Hi all. I need a basic voltage mode PWM controller for a buck converter project. I need a wide duty cycle range, like 5 - 95%. I don't need an error-amp in the ic, since this part is placed elsewhere in my circuit. So, a basic Ramp generator and a PWM comparator, and an output stage. An UC3843 would suit if it were voltage controlled instead of current. I've gone through Fairchild, ONsemi we...

Does anyone have a way to approximate and RMS voltage from a PWM signal. I want to regulate the RMS voltage sent to a lightbulb, but do not have the room for the inductor and capacitor required to carry 20+ amps of current. I need to feedback a voltage to the PWM controller that is proportional to the RMS voltage of the output. I don't need an EXACT RMS conversion, rather a ratio would be fin...

Hi all, I'm currently designing a full-bridge PWM controlled DC motor driver with a 24V/10A supply voltage. For driving each MOSFET half-bridge, I selected the LM5106 driver IC. As the '5106 is only available in a 20mil lead spacing MSOP, I can't do any bench tests without designing a PCB right away, so I'd like to check up on things to prevent costly mistakes (this is my first PWM motor...

Hi I am working on a small 100mW forward converter and I need a very low power PWM control. So the 555 comes up, along with some ultra low power opamps. But, isn't there a PWM chips out there with low operating current. Sofar I found the TPS5110 with sub mA current consumption: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps5110.pdf Anyone used one with lower current? Thanks Klaus
