You can achieve higher or lower duty cycles by using burst mode. A duty cycle of 0 means that the waveform is always low. Plot square wave where duty cycle is a function all. I have a square wave where duty cycle is a function of time as below. Sending the minimum value, 0, to the block input produces 0% duty cycle, which results in no power on a pwm pin. You will find the first result will be a function that does exactly that. Now i want to modulate the square wave signal by pwm. It can be run both under interactive sessions and as a batch job.
The rms value agrees with the theoretical value of 2. The pwm generator block takes a duty cycle and period as inputs to generate a pwm output. One pulse period is the total duration of an on and off state. The duty cycle is the ratio of the pulse width to the pulse period.
By controlling analog circuits digitally, system costs and power consumption can be drastically reduced. If you know the trick of generating a sine wave in matlab, the task is pretty much simple. The square function generates a square wave with a period of 2pi. Finally it shows how a remainder function from the matlab function block can be used to convert the linear timer output first to triangular waveform.
