In IC design, the typical approach for generating a pulse width-modulated (PWM) signal from an analog value (such as in the control loop for a switch mode power supply) uses a ramp or triangle wave ...

Linear Technology has unveiled a new pulse width modulation (pwm) generator with 48 independent channels. According to the IC specialist, each channel has an individually adjustable 12bit (4,096 steps ...

A common PC sound card can be used as a sine/square/triangle function generator, but the output suffers from limited rail-to-rail swing, plus its zero-centered has no dc offset. This circuit overcomes ...

Renewable energy continues to be a massive trend around the world. As methods for capturing wind, solar, and other forms of renewable energy have developed, the cost and efficiency of renewable energy ...

In LCD backlight applications, a dc-to-ac inverter drives cold-cathode fluorescent lamps. The inverter's input comes from the display's power supply. Currently, it spans from 12 to 18 V. Pulse-width ...
