  2. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

    Adjusting the brightness of light emitted by a light source is then merely a matter of setting at what voltage (or phase) in the AC half-cycle the dimmer begins to provide electric current to the light source (e.g. by using an electronic switch such as a triac). In this case the PWM duty cycle is the ratio of the conduction time to the duration ...

  3. 0-10 V lighting control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-10_V_lighting_control

    Vs may be greater than 10 V so that a maximum intended value of Rc produces a 10 V maximum control voltage. Rc must be adjusted to a value of 0 ohms (a direct short) to return a 0 V control voltage. As a practical matter, many 0-10 V dimming control inputs can be operated by replacing the variable control resistor with an electronic switch.

  4. Dimmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

    In the electrical schematic shown, a typical light dimmer based on a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) dims the light through phase-angle control. This unit is wired in series with the load. Diodes (D2, D3, D4 and D5) form a bridge, which generates pulsed DC. R1 and C1 form a circuit with a time constant.

  5. Phase-fired controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-fired_controller

    If the supply has a DC output, its time base is of no importance in deciding when to pulse the supply on or off, as the value that will be pulsed on and off is continuous. PFC differs from pulse-width modulation (PWM) in that it addresses supplies that output a modulated waveform, such as the sinusoidal AC waveform that the national grid outputs.

  6. Pulse-frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-frequency_modulation

    When driving light loads, however, the effects of DC resistances are reduced and AC losses in the inductor, capacitor, and switching elements play a larger role in overall efficiency. This is especially true in discontinuous mode operation, in which the inductor current drops below zero, resulting in the discharging of the output capacitor and ...

  7. Chopper (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a technique used to encode a message into a pulsing signal. Although this modulation technique can be used to encode information for transmission, its main use is to allow the control of the power supplied to electrical devices, especially to inertial loads such as motors.

  8. Servo control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

    Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...

  9. Space vector modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_vector_modulation

    Space vector modulation (SVM) is an algorithm for the control of pulse-width modulation (PWM), invented by Gerhard Pfaff, Alois Weschta, and Albert Wick in 1982. [1] [2] It is used for the creation of alternating current (AC) waveforms; most commonly to drive 3 phase AC powered motors at varying speeds from DC using multiple class-D amplifiers.
