General Description
The IXDP610 Digital Pulse Width Modulator (DPWM) is a programmable CMOS LSI device, which accepts digital pulse width data from a microprocessor and generates two complementary non-overlapping pulse width modulated signals for direct digital control of a switching Power Bridge or other electronics. See the IXDP610 data sheet for full specifications.
The EVDP610 Evaluation Board, shown in Figure 1 below, encompasses the serial communications hardware, microprocessor, and IXDP610 chip all onto one board that is easily programmable from any PC. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed to run on a Windows 9X, Windows 2000 or Windows NT operating system is included with the EVDP610, providing the designer with the software and hardware tools to immediately test and evaluate the IXDP610 IC. A functional block diagram of the EVDP610 is shown in Figure 2.
