Pulse Width Modulation - Val Tocitu,

Jason Kulpe, Alex Mariuzza
What is it?
Output signal alternates between on and off within
specified period
Controls power received by a device
The voltage seen by the load is directly proportional
to the source voltage
10/29/2009

Definitions
Duty Cycle: on-time / period
Vlow is often zero
VAVG DVHI (1 D)VLOW
10/29/2009

Types of Pulse Width

Pulse center fixed, edges modulated
Leading edge fixed, tailing edge modulated
Tailing edge fixed, leading edge modulated
Pulse Width constant, period modulated

Types of Pulse Width

Analog Generation of PWM

Analog PWM signals can be made by combining a
saw- tooth waveform and a sinusoid
PWM output is
formed by the
intersection of
the saw-tooth
wave and
sinusoid
10/29/2009

Digital Methods of Generating PWM

Digital: Counter used to handle transition
Delta : used to find the PWM at a certain limit
Delta Sigma: used to find the PWM but has advantage of
reducing optimization noise
10/29/2009

Applications to DC Motors
The voltage supplied to a DC motor is proportional
to the duty cycle
Both brushed and brushless motors can be used
with PWM
Both analog and digital control techniques and
components are available
10/29/2009

11
Three Phase AC motors with PWM

3 different AC currents at
different phases
Phase: 120 degrees apart
Creates constant power
transfer
Rotating magnetic field
Pulses substitute for AC
current

12
Space Vector Modulation

Used for three-phase AC motors
Convert DC current to AC current
Gates turned on/off at different intervals

Advantages of PWM
average value proportional to duty cycle, D
low power used in transistors used to switch
the signal
fast switching possible due to MOSFETS
and power transistors at speeds in excess
of 100 kHz
digital signal is resistant to noise
less heat dissipated versus using resistors
for intermediate voltage values

Types of PWM
10/29/2009

17
Applications of PWM
In the past, motors were controlled at intermediate
speed by using resistors to lower delivered power
Electric stove heater
Lamp dimmers
Voltage regulation convert 12 volts to 5 volts by
having a 41.7% duty cycle
Sound production: PWM controlled signals give
sound effects similar to a chorus
Power transfer: PWM used to reduce the total
power given to a load without relying on resistive
losses
10/29/2009

18
PWM used with D/A conversion

commonly used in toys
lowpass filter smooths out transients from harmonic effects
frequency values of harmonics doesnt change, but the
amplitude does, which adjusts the analog output signal
10/29/2009

19
PWM used to transmit data

in telecommunications
clock signal is found inside PWM signal

more resistant to noise effects than binary data alone
effective at data transmission over long distance transmission lines
10/29/2009

20
Frequency of the PWM

Upper
Limits
Lower
Limits
Signal
1. Must be at least 10 times higher
than the control system frequency
2. Higher than 20kHz audible
frequency of sounds to avoid
annoying sound disturbances,
caused by magnetostriction
3. If too low the motor is pulsed, not
continuous, because the motors
inductance can not maintain the
current
4. Inverse of frequency should be
much less than the motor/load time
constant
5. Higher error from ripple voltages
10/29/2009
1. If too high the inductance of the

motor causes the current drawn to
be unstable
2. MOSFET transistor generates heat
during switching
3. Limited by resolution of controller
4. Eddy currents generated in
electromagnetic coils which lead to
adverse heating
5. Heat losses in electromagnetic
materials is proportional to
frequency squared

Example: PWM with 555 Timer

Potentiometer is
used to adjust
the duty cycle

Example: Specifying circuit elements

This circuit has a
PWM frequency
according to:
1.44
f
R1C1
Check constraints
Set f to 25 kHz to add in a factor of safety
Choosing C1 to be 100 nF, R1 is 576 ~ 500
Recalculating with these values f = 28.8 kHz

Set PWMEx to 0 to disable the channel
Set PWMEx to 1 to enable it
Channel is activated when bit is set
If 16-bit resolution used, then PWME4/2/0 are deactivated
