The many applications for pulse-width modulation (PWM) include voltage regulation, power-level control, and fan- speed control. A PWM circuit for such applications (Figure 1) can be implemented with three op amps from a single quad-op-amp chip. The use of op amps allows a wide variety of applications. Low-power op amps can be used in a low-power system, for example, and high-frequency op amps can be ……
