ADJUSTABLE DUTY CYCLE
The DRV102’s externally adjustable duty cycle provides an
accurate means of controlling power delivered to the load.
Duty cycle can be set from 10% to 90% with an external
resistor, analog voltage, or the output of a D/A converter.
Reduced duty cycle results in reduced power dissipation.
This keeps the DRV102 and load cooler, resulting in in-
creased reliability for both devices. PWM frequency is a
constant 24kHz.
Resistor-Controlled Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is independently programmed with a resistor
(R_PWM) connected between the Duty Cycle Adjust pin and
ground. Increased resistor values correspond to decreased
duty cycles. Table II provides resistor values for typical duty
cycles. Resistor values for additional duty cycles can be
obtained from Figure 4. For reference purposes, the equation
for calculating R_PWM is included in Figure 4.

performance curve.
TABLE II. Duty Cycle Adjust. T_A= +25°C, V_S = +24V.
Voltage-Controlled Duty Cycle
Duty cycle can also be programmed with an analog voltage,
V_PWM. With V_PWM ≈ 0.5V, duty cycle is 100%. Increasing
this voltage results in decreased duty cycles. For 0% duty
cycle, V_PWM is approximately 4V. Table II provides V_PWM
values for typical duty cycles. See the “Duty Cycle vs
Voltage” typical performance curve for additional duty cycle
values.
The Duty Cycle Adjust pin should not be driven below 0.1V.
If the voltage source used can go between 0.1V and ground,
a 1kΩ series resistor between the voltage source and the Duty
Cycle Adjust pin (Figure 5) is required to limit swing. If the
pin is driven below 0.1V, the output will be unpredictable.

FIGURE 5. Using a Voltage Source to Program Duty Cycle.
The DRV102’s internal 24kHz oscillator sets the PWM
1000
period. This frequency is not externally adjustable. Duty
Cycle Adjust (pin 3) is internally driven by a 200µA current
source and connects to the input of a comparator and a 19kΩ
resistor as shown in Figure 6. The DRV102’s PWM control
100
design is inherently monotonic. That is, a decreased voltage
(or resistor value) always produces an increased duty cycle.
