Re: PWM and dither

Hi,
I need to control a solenoid valve using PWM but I have also some
specifications about "the dither" in order to reduce friction etc.. I now
what the dither is able to do in theory. I now how to built an electronic
circuit concerning PWM (I'd do that using a micro plus a MOSFET etc.) but
I don't have any idea about "the dither". Should I sum another PWM with
lower frequency to the higher frequency PWM which control the valve
position ? Do you have any example or links in order to clarify this
aspect ?

Thank you in advance,
Pasquale

A 'dither' technique typically increases the PWM reolution by one or two bits depending upon your tolerance for dither
ripple.
What is your dither spec and is it the same?

Cheers
