Introduction to PWM covers the basics of pulse-width modulation. Topics covered include reasons for using PWM, how PWM works, practical vs ideal driving elements, timing and resolution issues, efficiency, and applications. At the end of this course you should have a working knowledge of what PWM is, what it is for, and how it is used.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how pulse width modulation (PWM) operates.
- Identify the benefits of PWM.
- Distinguish between ideal and actual drive elements.
- Explain the factors that affect PWM efficiency.
- Describe PWM resolution.
- Identify common PWM applications.
- Explain PWM response time.
- Describe electromagnetic interference (EMI) considerations associated with PWM.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 19 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
