Controlling Brushed DC Motors Using PWM (.PDF Download)

July 20, 2020

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, controllable power source. This can be done by a continuous linear regulation power supply or pulse width modulation (PWM).
