This is a multifunction variable pulse generator. It is designed to fit a wide range of applications and be fully adjustable so that it can be used for many different tasks. This is designed to be low cost so that multiple units can be used to complete a variety of tasks, or so that the same board can be used in numerous different projects or experiments where several different devices might normally be needed. The modules can be linked together in a master/slave setup, and the pulse width can be adjusted by an external analogue source.

Example Applications
Pulse Width modulation (PWM) Motor Speed Control
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to accurately control the speed of DC motors. The pulse frequency can be adjusted to match your motor for performance or reducing noise. The speed of the motor can be adjusted using the preset on the board, or it can be attached another variable voltage source such as the analogue output from a micro controllers or similar device. Hydrogen Production (Electrolysis)
Simple control over reaction rates with PWM control. It
can switch large currents for direct connection to
electrodes or use of transformers with widely adjustable
frequency for impedance matching and resonating
systems. Dimming or Flashing of LED's and Light bulbs
This module can be used to smoothly dim lights or make them flash at regular intervals. The brightness is adjusted by a pulse width modulated signal which can be set to and inaudible frequency. Tone Generator for small or large speakers
This circuit generates an adjustable square wave signal that is powerful enough to drive anything from piezoelectric sounders to large bass speakers. The frequency range can be adjusted between sub bass and ultrasonic levels. Transformer Driver
Works with inductive loads like transformers for inverter projects or high voltage power supply's. 12V operation allows it to drive autotransformers, induction or ignition coils.

Simple variable rate on/off function for driving relays or moving solenoids with repeated strokes. Coil Pulsing
Drive coils and electromagnets with regular current pulses of up to 10 Amps. Ideal for magnetic launchers and many other pulsed coil experiments. At higher pulse frequencies the PWM control can be used to adjust the average field strength of a coil or electromagnet. SMA Wire Driver
The variable pulse generator can be used as an adjustable current source for powering muscle wire (shape memory alloy SMA wire). By using a medium frequency setting, the PWM control can be used to adjust the average current flowing through the muscle wires giving precise control over the movement. At low frequencies muscle wire can be pulsed for repeated movements. Transformer Driver
Works with inductive loads like transformers for inverter projects or high voltage power supply's. 12V operation allows it to drive autotransformers, induction or ignition coils.
Please Note: This Item is the kit version that you must assemble yourself.
This is a customized version of the PWM-OC10A that has been modified for a massively increased power handling ability, improved pulse shape, and increased frequency range.
Features and Specifications:
NB: Figures may vary with varying operating conditions.
Adjustable square wave output
Supply Voltage - 12V to 15V
Supply Current - up to 1.5A (no load)
Dual power output
Output B - 10A peak, 1A continuous.
Output A - 100A peak, 70A Continuous
Max Switching Voltage A - 600V
Max Switching Voltage B - 50V
Frequency range - < 1Hz to 300kHz
Duty cycle (pulse width) - 0% to 100%
This is rated up to 70A of continuous load! That is 28 times more than the standard unit. It has an open collector output so that your load can be powered independently of the unit. The device can deliver current pulses from a source up to 600V.
Short current pulses of less than 1ms can be up to a massive 300A when the switching device is at room temperature.
The cooling for this is provided by 100% copper heatsink which utilizes heat pipe technology to draw heat away quickly and efficiently.
This device is great for driving large electrolysis cells and other power hungry loads.
