PWM
Digital analog simulation
PWM stands for pulse-width modulation, a technique for controlling power delivery by rapidly switching a signal on and off.
The ratio of on-time to off-time (the duty cycle) determines the average power output.
PWM dims LEDs, controls motor speeds, and converts digital signals to analog-like outputs: The fan speed is controlled by PWM.
Common in electronics and embedded systems.
