Hi FvM,
One interesting observation. I used multisim, used AD711 op-amp as comparator. Fed Tri and DC voltage to inputs and measured output widths in virtual scope. The widths are not proportional. This is amazing. All non linearities are ruled out in simulation, but the results are shocking.

Hi FvM,
Here are the data points captured:
VIN(V) VOUT(width in us)
0 500 ( for 1 KHz)
1 450
2 400
3 345
4 293
5 243
6 193
7 143
8 92
9 41
any clues?
regards

Hi FvM,
What I am looking for is that I want to prove that my pulse width changes proportionally to my input DC voltage and that should be linear. for example , 1 V DC input results in 200 us pulse width(say),then 2V input should result in 400us and so-on. My tri wave frequency is 1KHz...
My supply voltages are +/- 12V. I did plot the graph between Input DC voltage and output pulse width measured value and the equation of the graph is order 2. Same is the case with Duty cycle. Now can I use a DDS chip ? will it give me high accuracy triangle wave?
Hi,
To measure PWM linearity, I was just measuring the width in oscilloscope. I was expecting a proportional change in width with respect to a DC voltage. My VIN goes upto 8V. My triangular peak is at 9V. By seeing all your answers, I am still unclear as how to make Pulse width linear to DC...
Hi,
Thanks a lot. But I have checked everything, I am using a agilent wave generator. DC precision source and comparators bypassed with decoups. But there is still a problem. Have you done anything like this before or would you give any suggestions to improve. Also are you sure you would get...
Hello,
need some help. I was trying linear PWM with a comparator(AD790) using a triangle wave and DC voltage. To my surprise, PWM output duty cycle is not linear when DC voltage changes. Any suggestions..

Hi,
I was trying PWM by giving a sine wave and triangle wave in a comparator. Could anybody explain what should be the frequency of triangle and sine wave? and Why?
Hi FvM,
I tried to wire integrator circuit with and without resistance and I found that with resistance, the circuit works fine(about 1K) and resistor less than 500 ohms, my output goes to zero even with base open. Without resistance, the output is always zero. Could you explain that...
