Pwm Circuit Using 555 Timer. The basic idea is to vary the input signal which is supplied to the control pin of the ic. Here i m going to discuss one of the simple technique to generate pwm using the 555 timer ic.
Capacitor charging through d1 diode and discharge through d2 diode will generates pwm signal at 555 timer s output pin. Hence if we replace r2 with a potentiometer we can control the charging and discharging tines of the capacitor and essentially the duty cycle of the pwm signal. Simple circuit for dc motor speed control fan speed control light led dimming and etc using the 555 timer also a good starting point for novices wanting to get their hands dirty with the 555 timer ic.

Simple and dirty pulse width modulation pwm with 555 timer. This circuit uses the common 555 timer to create and vary the pwm signal. This problem can be avoided by using pulse width modulation. Here i m going to discuss one of the simple technique to generate pwm using the 555 timer ic.
