 INTRODUCTION TO PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (PWM), TUNING OF PWM
DRIVER, CHARECTERSITICS OF PWM DRIVER AND MOTOR DEAD BAND

1- Aim:

Upon completion of this lab, one will be able to

 Understand PWM and its application.
 Tuning of PWM driver.
 Characteristics of PWM driver and motor dead band.
 PMDC motor control by PWM.

2- Pre Lab Task:

2.1. Introduction to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for controlling analog circuits with a
microprocessor's digital outputs. PWM is employed in a wide variety of applications, ranging
from measurement and communications to power control and conversion.

Analog circuits:

An analog signal has a continuously varying value, with infinite resolution in both time and
magnitude. A nine-volt battery is an example of an analog device, in that its output voltage is not
precisely 9V, changes over time, and can take any real-numbered value. Similarly, the amount of
current drawn from a battery is not limited to a finite set of possible values. Analog signals are
distinguishable from digital signals because the latter always take values only from a finite set of
predetermined possibilities, such as the set {0V, 5V}.

Digital control:

By controlling analog circuits digitally, system costs and power consumption can be drastically
reduced. What's more, many microcontrollers and DSPs already include on-chip PWM
controllers, making implementation easy.

rheostat motor control

So how do we control the flow of current through the motor. Well many people attempt to
control the speed of a DC motor using a large variable resistor (Rheostat) in series with the

VIVA questions: -

 What is PWM?
 What is motor dead band?
  Which IC we can use for PWM?
 What is the function of vol/div in oscilloscope?
 What is the function of time/div in oscilloscope?
 Why we go for PWM instead of other things?

In Lab Task:

2.2. Tuning of PWM driver and motor dead band:

Below I have given an example so write your each step in the style given below

PROCEDURE:

Before going to each steps first turn all the power sources and all equipment which will be used
in the lab and then going to each steps which is given below.

1): connect the probe of oscilloscope to pin noTP34.

2): VP should be 9v.

3); now remove the oscilloscope.

4); connect to pin no TP35.

5); connect set point1 to pin 33.

6); increase the input voltage from 0v up to your desired value.

7); select the oscilloscope in such a manner that the time period remain same but duty cycle will
be changed.

8); connect negative at the negative and positive to positive.

9); now note all the desired values and the dead zone of the motor so complete readings are at the
end.
