Note 1: The frequency of a (PWM) Pulse Width Modulation is = 1 / Period
Note 2: The duty cycle is defined as the percentage of digital ‘high’ to digital ‘low’ signals present
during a PWM period.
Note 3: The PWM resolution is defined as the maximum number of pulses that you can pack into a
PWM period.
Note 4: tC denotes the software cycle time.
Note 5: Current limit for short circuit protection to protect cabling and to limit internal power
dissipation.
Note 6: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 7: The maximum output current depends on the load, PWM frequency and temperature.
Note 8: The pulse width must be greater that the software cycle time. For example with 50/50 pulse
ratio, the pulse frequency is 1 / (2*pulse width)
Note 9: When the limit is exceeded, the output voltage circuit starts to limit the current by switching the
output voltage. The switching does not effect the application software
Note 10: When the frequency increases, the actual duty cycle may be bigger than the value that has
been set.
Note 11: Overload conditions
