ok.. The motor that i am using does resonate at a particular freq frequency so do you have any doc that is related to this?? the driver circuit i have produce a proportaional output voltage when the motor is not connect but when i connect the motor, the output voltage remain the same for several duty cycle. the different is very littlr about 1 volt does this have some thing to do with the frequency that i am using?? thanks regards ----- Original Message ----- From: Jinx To: Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 1999 8:03 PM Subject: Re: Torque control > From: soon lee > > > Hi guys > > got a question here > > is there a standard for the value of PWM frequency for motors and how you > > determind it?? > > > > thanks > > regards > > I'm not too sure, but one factor to consider is the audible noise that > comes from motor at the freq you drive the PWM at.
