SignalPWM

Generates a pulse width modulated (PWM) boolean fire signal

    SignalPWM

Library

Electrical/PowerConverters/DCDC/Control

Description

This controller can be used both for DC/DC and AC/DC converters. The signal input of the PWM controller is the duty cycle; the duty cycle is the ratio of the on time to the switching period. The output firing signal is strictly determined by the actual duty cycle, indicated as d in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1: Firing (fire) and inverse firing (notFire) signal of PWM control; d = duty cycle; f = switching frequency

The firing signal is generated by comparing the sampled duty cycle input with a periodic saw tooth signal [Williams2006].
