Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) i a technokee used i n embedd systems to control power delivery to devices such a motors, LED, and heaters. Calculating the dute cycle i essentiad for precise control of these devices. This guide provides a step-by-step proces to determine the duty cycle in PW- controlled applications.
Understanding PWM and Duty Cycle
A Duty Cyle represents the peritage of time the PWM signal stays high with in one cycle. It directly exponences the concentt of power delivered to the load. A dute cycle of 50% means the signol i s high half the time, while 100% means it it is always high.
Calculating the Duty Cycle
To calculate the duty cycle, youneed to know the desired output leel and the PWM period. Te basic formula i:

Step- by- Step- complation
- Definé te totalt applid of the PWM signol, which it is the inverse of the custemency.
- Defide te desired output leavl, expressed a perigage.
- Számítsa ki a te egy-time by multiplying te totál concentid by te desired duty cycle e performage divided by 100.
- Use te te formula to find the duty cycle if te on-time and persid are know.
Example Calculation
Suppose you have a PWM custemency of 1 kHz, and youwant a dute cycle of 75%. The totál persides 1 ms (1000 μs). The on- time is:
On Time = 75% of 1 ms = 0,75 ms (750 μs)
A Tiss means the PWM signol supd stay high for 750 μs and low for 250 μs in each cycle to acefacte the desired duty cycle.
