May 12, 2017 Amx To Pwm Converter Circuit. Download - Update. Free trial version below to get started. FAN6520A Single Synchronous Buck PWM Controller. Onous Buck PWM Controller Circuit Description. The converter dissipates very little power with this. PWM Control Analog, Mixed, and PWM Dimming Function P-Channel MOSFET Drive Open-Lamp Protections (OLP) Shutdown Protections (SDP) 14-Pin SOP Description The FAN7547A provides all control functions for a current-fed, push-pull, self-oscillation type converter and also contains a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) controller to develop a supply voltage. What is PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)? PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation; we will get into the reason for such a name later. But, for now understand PWM as a type of signal which can be produced from a digital IC such as microcontroller or 555 timer.
You will lean what PWM is and how you can get the PWM output from the digital pins of Arduino using analogwrite() function.

About this project
In Arduino PWM Tutorial, you are going to learn about what PWM is and how you can get the PWM output from the digital pins of Arduino. First, we will control thebrightness of LED through code and then we will control it manually by adding the potentiometer.

What is PWM
PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation and it is a technique used in controlling the brightness of LED, speed control of DC motor, controlling a servo motor or where you have to get analog output with digital means.
The Arduino digital pins either gives us 5V (when turned HIGH) or 0V (when turned LOW) and the output is a square wave signal. So if we want to dim a LED, we cannot get the voltage between 0 and 5V from the digital pin but we can change the ON and OFF time of the signal. If we will change the ON and OFF time fast enough then the brightness of the led will be changed.
Before going further, let’s discuss some terms associated with PWM.
TON (On Time): It is the time when the signal is high.
TOFF (Off Time): It is the time when the signal is low.
Period: It is the sum of on time and off time.
Duty Cycle: It is the percentage of time when the signal was high during the time of period.
So at 50% duty cycle and 1Hz frequency, the led will be high for half a second and will be low for the other half second. If we increase the frequency to 50Hz (50 times ON and OFF per second), then the led will be seen glowing at half brightness by the human eye.
Arduino and PWM
The Arduino IDE has a built in function “analogWrite()” which can be used to generate a PWM signal. The frequency of this generated signal for most pins will be about 490Hz and we can give the value from 0-255 using this function.
analogWrite(0) means a signal of 0% duty cycle.
analogWrite(127) means a signal of 50% duty cycle.
analogWrite(255) means a signal of 100% duty cycle.
On Arduino Uno, the PWM pins are 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. The frequency of PWM signal on pins 5 and 6 will be about 980Hz and on other pins will be 490Hz. The PWM pins are labeled with ~ sign.
Controlling Brightness of LED through Code
Firstly, make the connections as described below.
Connect the positive leg of LED which is the longer leg to the digital pin 6 of Arduino. Then connect the 220 ohm resistor to the negative leg of LED and connect the other end of resistor to the ground pin of Arduino.

Now let’s write a code to change the brightness of the LED using PWM.
Arduino Code
Upload the code in the Arduino IDE and the LED will start to fade.
Arduino Code to manually control the Brightness of LED
In the previous connections, add the 10k ohm potentiometer and connect the two ends of potentiometer to 5V and GND of Arduino and then connect the center of potentiometer to the A0 pin of Arduino.
Arduino Code
Upload the code in the Arduino IDE and on moving the knob of the potentiometer, the brightness of the LED will change.
