  2. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

    The PWM's leading edge is held at the leading edge of the window and the trailing edge is modulated. Trailing edge modulation (middle plot) uses a normal sawtooth wave to generate the PWM. The PWM's trailing edge is fixed and the leading edge is modulated. Centered pulses (bottom) uses a triangle waveform to generate the PWM.

  3. Vienna rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_rectifier

    Fig. 2: Top and bottom views of an air-cooled 10kW-Vienna Rectifier (400kHz PWM). The Vienna Rectifier is useful wherever six-switch converters are used for achieving sinusoidal mains current and controlled output voltage, when no energy feedback from the load into the mains is available.

  4. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    If the maximum output amplitude, m a, exceeds 3.24, the output waveform of the inverter becomes a square wave. [17] As was true for Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), both switches in a leg for square wave modulation cannot be turned on at the same time, as this would cause a short across the voltage source.

  5. 555 timer IC - Wikipedia

    timers, missing pulse detection, bounce-free switches, touch switches, frequency dividers, triggered measurement of resistance or capacitance, PWM, etc. Bistable (latch) mode – The 555 operates as a set-reset latch. Applications include: switch debouncing. Schmitt trigger (inverter) mode – the 555 operates as a Schmitt trigger inverter gate ...

  6. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

    An AC-AC converter with approximately sinusoidal input currents and bidirectional power flow can be realized by coupling a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a PWM inverter to the DC-link. The DC-link quantity is then impressed by an energy storage element that is common to both stages, which is a capacitor C for the voltage DC-link or ...

  7. PSIM Software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSIM_Software

    PSIM is an Electronic circuit simulation software package, designed specifically for use in power electronics and motor drive simulations but can be used to simulate any electronic circuit. Developed by Powersim, PSIM uses nodal analysis and the trapezoidal rule integration [2] as the basis of its simulation algorithm. PSIM provides a schematic ...

  8. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(electronics)

    Schematic of an inverter using a vibrator as a chopper. In electronics, a chopper circuit is any of numerous types of electronic switching devices and circuits used in power control and signal applications. A chopper is a device that converts fixed DC input to a variable DC output voltage directly.

  9. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    The simplest (and also, the highest-amplitude) waveform that can be produced by a two-level converter is a square wave; however this would produce unacceptable levels of harmonic distortion, so some form of pulse-width modulation (PWM) is always used to improve the harmonic distortion of the converter.
