Introduction and definitions
Types of PWM
Methods of generation
Characteristics of PWM
Applications and examples
Implementation on the HCS12
2
What is it?
Output signal alternates between on and off within
specified period
Controls power received by a device
The voltage seen by the load is directly proportional
to the source voltage
3
Definitions
Duty Cycle: on-time / period
Vlow is often zero
VAVG DVHI (1 D)VLOW
4
Types of Pulse Width
Pulse center fixed, edges modulated
Leading edge fixed, tailing edge modulated
Tailing edge fixed, leading edge modulated
Pulse Width constant, period modulated
5
Types of Pulse Width
6
Analog Generation of PWM
Analog PWM signals can be made by combining a
saw- tooth waveform and a sinusoid
PWM output is
formed by the
intersection of
the saw-tooth
wave and
sinusoid
7
Digital Methods of Generating PWM
Digital: Counter used to handle transition
Delta : used to find the PWM at a certain limit
Delta Sigma: used to find the PWM but has advantage of
reducing optimization noise
8
Applications to DC Motors
• The voltage supplied to a DC motor is proportional
to the duty cycle
• Both brushed and brushless motors can be used
with PWM
• Both analog and digital control techniques and
components are available

Advantages of PWM
• average value proportional to duty cycle, D
• low power used in transistors used to switch
the signal
• fast switching possible due to MOSFETS
and power transistors at speeds in excess
of 100 kHz
• digital signal is resistant to noise
• less heat dissipated versus using resistors
for intermediate voltage values
