What is IC TL494?

TL494 is a PWM controller IC used for power electronics circuits. It comprises of on-chip two error amplifiers an oscillator with adjustable frequency feature, an output flip-flop having pulse steering control, and an output control circuit with feedback.

What is PWM control circuit?

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for controlling analog circuits with a microprocessor’s digital outputs. PWM is employed in a wide variety of applications, ranging from measurement and communications to power control and conversion.

How can we control PWM signal?

As its name suggests, pulse width modulation speed control works by driving the motor with a series of “ON-OFF” pulses and varying the duty cycle, the fraction of time that the output voltage is “ON” compared to when it is “OFF”, of the pulses while keeping the frequency constant.

Which are the output pins of PWM IC?

This PWM controller IC has sixteen pins….Pin Configuration Details.

Pin Number Pin Name Description
1, 2 IN-, IN+ Negative and Positive input of error amplifier
3 OSC OUT Output of the Oscillator

What is the purpose of CT pin in tl494?

Pin#5 (CT): This pin needs to be connected with an external capacitor for setting the oscillator frequency. Pin#6 (RT): This pin needs to be connected with an external resistor for setting the oscillator frequency. Pin#4 (DTC): It’s the input of the internal op amp which controls the dead-time operation of the IC.

What is SG3524 IC?

SG3524 is an integrated switching regulator circuit that has all essential circuitry required for making a switching regulator in single ended or push-pull mode. SG3524 forms the heart of this PWM inverter circuit which can correct its output voltage against the variations in the output load.

What are the advantages of PWM control?

Advantages of pulse width modulation :

  • Cheap to make.
  • Low power consumption.
  • Efficiency up to 90 %
  • A signal can be separated very easily at demodulation and noise can be also separated easily.
  • High power handling capacity.
  • Can utilize very high frequency.
  • Little heat whilst working.
  • Noise interference is less.
