This circuit is basically a simple power electronics DC-DC Buck converter which can be used to step down voltage, its efficiency results in better battery life due to reduced heat generation making it a…

PWM Signal on Nuvoton N76E003 Microcontroller PWM Signal on Nuvoton N76E003 Microcontroller - LED Dimming using Duty Cycle Control

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a commonly used technique in microcontrollers to produce a continuous pulse signal with a defined frequency and duty cycle. In short, PWM is about changing the width of a pulse while the frequency is constant.

A PWM signal is mostly used in controlling a servo motor or brightness of an LED. Also, since…

Arduino Due PWM Tutorial PWM with Arduino Due

Arduino Due is an ARM controller based board designed for electronic engineers and hobbyists. ARM architecture is very influential in modern electronics, we use them everywhere like our mobiles, iPods and computers etc.  If someone wants to design industrial systems it must on ARM controllers. ARM controllers are very important because of their agility.
