MotoHawk:Blocks:PWM Output

PWM Output

This MotoHawk™ block is configurable for controlling pulse-width modulation (PWM) output.

Block ID

motohawk_pwm

Library

MotoHawk_lib/Analog I/O Blocks

Description

This MotoHawk™ block allows the attributes of pulse-width modulated (PWM) output to be modified. Frequency and dutycycle are the two key attributes. Dutycycle defines the percentage of the period (which is specified by the frequency) that the resource will be turned on (assert). Thus a low side driver output resource will sink current into the driver switch for the percentage of the period specified by the dutycycle. On the other hand, a highside driver output resource would source current for the percentage of the period defined by the dutycycle.

The MotoHawk™ PWM Output help topic provides more detail on this block.
