Pulse Width (PWM) Controller Circuit

A LM3900 quad operational amplifier can be used to build a pulse width (PWM) controller. The LM3900 was chosen because it only need single supply voltage of 4 to 30 V. This circuit can give 100 percent pulse-width control.  A1 op-amp forms a 1 kHz oscillator, generating a square wave oscillator for the basic oscillation. A2 is a ramp generator […]

PWM Modulator Using Op-Amp

This is a simple PWM modulator circuit. Comparing the message signal to a ramp or triangular waveform is the simplest way to produce a PWM signal. When the input is greater than the triangular waveform (the carrier), the resulting output is high, when the input is less than triangular waveform, the output is low. So, a comparator and triangular-waveform generator […]
