A simple software method to increase the duty-cycle resolution in a digital pulse width modulation (DPWM)-controlled power ...

Figure 1 This classic 555-based timer is valid only for duty cycles greater than 50%. Figure 2 The simple addition of a bypass diode makes this timer circuit valid for low duty cycles. Diode forward ...

High-performance motion control demands compact and economical servomotors. Fortunately, because most servo applications only intermittently demand maximum continuous-torque motor output, a smaller ...

A free-running generator built on the standard configuration of the 555 timer can't provide a duty cycle of exactly 50%. That's a well-known fact. Fortunately, there are several ways to get around ...

Portable battery-operated electronic equipment is becoming packed with more features requiring larger amounts of power, leading to decreased operating times between battery charges. Innovations such ...
