[AP1042] 9.2. PWM Duty Control It is possible to control the PWM duty of the OUT pins by the voltage (DC) input to the VREF pin. With this function, the output current can be adjusted according to the VREF pin voltage. On-duty can be calculated by the following formula. PWM Duty = {VREF×(1-0.025) / (VDC×0.8) }+0.025 [%] For example, PWM duty will be 50% if VREF = 1.75 V. When VREF is 3.6 V or more, the PWM duty will be 100%. The switching frequency of PWM duty is determined internally and fixed to 44 kHz. The AP1042 operates in Break mode while the PWM duty mode is off. In order to maintain the accuracy of the PWM-duty control by the VREF pin, INA pin and INB pin should be fixed. Figure 8.
