PWM Generator
Generate pulse width modulated signal or waveform

Simscape / Electrical / Control / Pulse Width Modulation
Description
The PWM Generator block implements a PWM generator. The pulse width modulation technique controls power
transfer from one electrical component to another by quickly switching between full power transfer and no power
transfer.
Working Principle
The PWM generator block outputs either 1 when the duty cycle is greater than the carrier counter value, or 0
otherwise. You can set the period of each cycle by specifying the timer period Tper. You can change the initial output,
or phase, of the PWM output by specifying one of three types of carrier counters:
Up counter — The PWM output signal initializes at the start of the on cycle. This graphic shows the carrier counter
signal and the corresponding PWM output.
Down counter — The PWM output signal initializes at the start of the off cycle. This graphic shows the carrier
counter signal and the corresponding PWM output.
Up-down counter — The PWM output signal initializes halfway through the on cycle. This graphic shows the
carrier counter signal and the corresponding PWM output.
