4 pin header = ability to use PWM fan = automatically adjust fan speed based on whatever variable (typically temperature)

3 pin header = full speed by default non-PWN fan = can control by means of software or fan controller

What is pwm?

PWM is Pulse Width Modulation. It is a Digital control is used to create a square wave, a signal switched between on and off.


How do you use a common H bridge - FET Switchs for both inverter and battery charger application in a Sinewave offline UPS using PIC16F72 Micro controller?

In a sine wave inverter, during inverter operation the four switches of the H bridge are switched using sine wave PWM signals normally generated using a µ-controller or an analog circuit. One upper and the opposite lower switch is switched in sequence with necessary delay between the two. This will continue for one half cycle and the other two switch pairs are switched during the next half cycle to make a full sine wave output. During Mains mode, the same transformer used to inverter and boost voltage to line voltage in inverter mode is connected to the mains power using a relay. A bridge less rectification principle is used to charge the battery by boosting the voltage produced in the transformer primary using the inductance of the winding,by switching the lower MOSFET banks.. The lower MOSFET switches are switched and upper switches kept turned OFF, The body diodes of the upper MOSFETS will act as rectifiers . The pulse width of the switching pulses of the lower bank is proportional to the output current , voltage. By varying the pulse width variable currents can be obtained. The current is sampled and fed back to the control circuit to limit and obtain variable power levels. PF correction can also be obtained during charging using PF correction control circuit in the charging mode.


How do you convert 12 volts to 4 volts?

Using a voltage regulator (LM78XX come to mind), or through Pulse Width Modulation.In the first case, the typical output power will be at 4W tops (LM78XX are typically rated at around 1A of current). In the second case it's up to the design of the PWM circuit, I guess.A simple PWM circuit would include an oscillator (or a square signal generator, doesn't matter) driving a transistor in a predictable pattern (turning it on for 1/3rd of the time), the aforementioned transistor, and a capacitor to smooth the ripples out. If for 1 out of 3 seconds it's 12V, and for the remaining 2 seconds it's 0V, then (12+0+0)/3 = 4V. The current rating would depend on the load and the transistor's ability. For higher loads it may be advisable to drive a second-stage, high current transistor. Also, saturation concerns come to mind, but that's a different story.There is a third option, but it's overkill in this situation -- using a transistor and a capacitor to form a resonant circuit driving a transformer. However, this type of design is typically found in applications where the voltage needs to be stepped up, not down (ie. LCD/keyboard backlights, cold-cathode lights and the like).

Difference between inverter and pwm control?

One invert the function or a signal. the other is a pulse width modulator controller which are usually used to convert one source of power to another. As in 12v dc in 5v dc out or vice versa


Circuit used to convert pwm to ppm?

the pwm output can be converter to ppm by passing pwm through a monostable multivibrator with a low stable state and high quasi stable state and which is negative edge triggered.


What is fullform of PWM?

PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. It is a technique used in electronics to encode information in a pulsing signal. In PWM, the duration of a pulse in a waveform is varied to convey information. This method is commonly used to control the power delivered to electrical devices, such as motors, LEDs, and other components, by adjusting the average power over time.

What are the advantages of space vector PWM inverter over other technique?

Stepped wave Inverter is simple but has lower order harmonics which cannot be eliminated by filters.These harmonics can be eliminated by the Space Vector PWM technique. In the space vector PWM technique, there is 15% increment in maximum voltage compared to PWM, hence Space Vector enables efficient use of DC voltage.Space Vector Modulation provides excellent output performance, optimized efficiency and high reliability compared to similar Inverters with conventional PWM
