  2. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

    The average output voltage is directly proportional to the ON time of chopper. The ratio of ON time to total time is defined as duty cycle. It can be varied between 0 and 1 or between 0 and 100%. Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a technique used to encode a message into a pulsing signal.

  3. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

    Pulse-width modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM) or pulse-length modulation (PLM), [1] is any method of representing a signal as a rectangular wave with a varying duty cycle (and for some methods also a varying period). PWM is useful for controlling the average power or amplitude delivered by an electrical signal.

  4. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    This technique is known as pulse-width modulation. In the printer / copier industry, the duty cycle specification refers to the rated throughput (that is, printed pages) of a device per month. In a welding power supply , the maximum duty cycle is defined as the percentage of time in a 10-minute period that it can be operated continuously before ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal_to_discrete...

    An analog signal to discrete time interval converter (ASDTIC) is a specialized kind of an analog-to-digital converter, which converts the analog input signal (e.g. voltage or current) to time intervals between pulses. This conversion is a type of Pulse-width modulation (PWM). The origin of the term ASDTIC lies with NASA around 1970. [1]

  7. Pulse duration - Wikipedia

    Pulse duration using 50% peak amplitude. DECT phone pulduration measurement (100 Hz / 10 mS) on channel 8. In signal processing and telecommunications, pulse duration is the interval between the time, during the first transition, that the amplitude of the pulse reaches a specified fraction (level) of its final amplitude, and the time the pulse amplitude drops, on the last transition, to the ...

  9. Servo control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

    Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...
