3、 Overview of PWM Controller

PWM controller is a control strategy that adjusts the duty cycle of pulses to control the average level of the output signal.

It controls the required output by periodically switching the power supply and adjusting the ratio of switching time to off time.

PWM controllers are widely used in application scenarios that require simulation of continuous signals, such as DC motor speed

control, LED brightness adjustment, audio amplifiers, etc.

principle

The principle of PWM controller is to control the voltage and current in the circuit by changing the width of the pulse. In PWM

signals, the high-level duration is longer and the low-level duration is shorter, which changes the power output in the circuit.

Specifically, when the PWM signal is at a high level,

the switches in the circuit will open and current will flow through the load; When the PWM signal is at a low level, the switch will

close and the current will stop flowing. Therefore, by changing the time ratio of the high and low levels of the PWM signal, it is possible

to control the voltage and current in the circuit.

application

PWM controllers are commonly used in application scenarios that require simulation of continuous signals, such as DC motor speed control,

LED brightness adjustment, audio amplifiers, etc. In these applications, PWM controllers can accurately control the average level of the

output signal by adjusting the duty cycle of the pulses, thereby achieving precise control of the equipment.
