Sometimes when a project is coming together, you need to cobble a tool together to get it completed. Whether it’s something very involved, like building a 3D printer to fabricate custom parts, or ...

Deciding between PWM and DC case fans can be confusing, but it’s important for the optimal performance of your computer. In general, PWM fans are quieter, more controllable, and more durable than DC ...

Recently there have been a series of design ideas published based on the topic of “processors” of PWM signals. The purpose of these processors is to minimize both the settling time in response to a ...

The PWM refresh rate of your smartphone’s display is something you probably never think about, and that most people probably have no idea even exists. But, for some, that rate can make or break the ...

When you need an analog output from a microcontroller that does not have a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), you can connect an external DAC chip. But for a cheaper solution, use a pulse-width ...

Having the right tool for the job makes all the difference, especially for the types of projects we feature here at Hackaday. [Jana Marie] must agree with this sentiment, one of her latest projects ...

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or Pulse Duration Modulation (PDM) is a technique of converting analog signals into rectangular waveforms. The width of the waveform varies in proportion with the ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

According to a new report, Google is finally addressing a long-standing shortcoming of Pixel displays by adjusting the PWM refresh rate on its Pro phones this year, while upgrading the brightness ...
