The effective duty ratio range of ABS outlet valve has been tested in PWM control. With 50 Hz carrier wave frequency, the tests are performed to determine the correspondence between duty ratio and the wheel cylinder pressure variation. The duty ratio range of ABS outlet valve in PWM control is determined and an experimental model of pressure reduction velocity (PRV) of wheel cylinder using PWM control is established. By comparison and test of the experimental model and realization of controlling the duty ratio of ABS outlet valves, the fine regulation of wheel cylinder PRV is realized in the working of ABS/ASR braking regulation, which is important and valuable to the improvement of the ABS/ASR controlling effect.展开更多

The computing technology extends the control of the constant temperature from the local to the cloud, allowing the user to view the temperature status recorded by the cloud server using the smart phone application(App) or web browser. It can even remotely control the heating power of the smart switch for the heating device in the Internet control environment and use the proportional-integral-derivative(PID) control and the pulse-width modulation(PWM) technology to achieve intelligent constant temperature control.The proposed control system uses the expert PID control as the core to calculate the duty cycle of the PWM signal to control the power output of the smart switch for the constant temperature water tank. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of the proposed system.展开更多

Pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) is used to improve the efficiency at light load. This converter can operate between pulse-width modulation (PWM) and pulse-frequency modulation. The converter will operate in PFM mode at light load and in PWM mode at heavy load. The maximum conversion efficiency of this converter is 96%. The conversion efficiency is greatly improved when load current is below 100 mA. Additionally, a soft-start circuit and a variable-sawtooth frequency circuit are proposed in this paper. The former is used to avoid the large switching current at the start up of the converter and the latter is utilized to reduce the EMI of the converter.展开更多
