PTO Output Duty Cycle Error
Turn On/Off time for the Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers for
the PTO output port is 0.2
µ
s and 2.5
µ
s max, respectively. Duty cycle error is:
Positive error = 2.5
µ
s * F
Negative error = -0.2
µ
s * F
The plot below shows duty cycle error vs. frequency.
To get the duty cycle error at a certain frequency, for example, the user sets
frequency to 20 kHz, and sets duty cycle to 30% in Connected Components
Workbench software, then actual duty cycle is
