Good design for a PWM that has a adjustable start current and. .

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around designing a PWM circuit with adjustable start current and ramp-up time, specifically for an H-bridge application. Participants emphasize the need for more details regarding the application, such as voltage and current specifications, as well as whether to use an analog circuit or a microcontroller. The original poster is considering a simple 555 IC for the PWM control, separate from the radio controls for prototyping. A suggestion to refer to Wikipedia for PWM examples and circuits is made to aid in the design process. Clarity on the project requirements is essential for effective guidance.

any body have a good design for a p.w.m that has a adjustable start current and ramp up time

That's too general a question, rockstar. You need to say more about the application, voltages, current levels, etc. And whether you want to use a simple analog circuit, or a more sophisticated microcontroller (uC) based circuit to do the PWM. Is this for the RC vehicle application that you mentioned in another post? If so, what does the controller look like in the standard circuit before you started modifying it?
 
there is no standard circuit to start from. i was hoping something as simple as a 555 ic and it'll be controlling the H bridge mentioned in the other post. for simplicity i just built a standard h bridge for now out of uprated parts, the H-bridge and the P.w.m. will be a separate chip from the radio controls, for the sake of prototyping (sorry about the vague question)
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
