I-7088 and M-7088 User Manual, Rev: A1.2 7MH-026-A12 51. IntroductionThe I-7088 has 8 PWM output channels and 8 counter inputs andcan be used to develop powerful and cost effective analog controlsystems. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is a powerful technique forcontrolling analog circuits that uses digital outputs to generate awaveform with a variable Duty Cycle (the fraction of time that asystem is in an "active" state) and frequency to control analogcircuits, and can be used to control the position/speed of motors,control the brightness of lamps, or control the speed of fans, etc.The I-7088 will also automatically save the counter value toEEPROM if the power supply is interrupted or lost. Refer to Section1.7 for details.Features Automatic hardware generation of PWM outputs without the needfor software intervention. 1Hz ~ 500KHz PWM output frequency with 0.1%~99.9% dutycycle (Refer to Section 4.2). Software and hardware trigger mode for PWM output. Individual and synchronous PWM output. By using softwaretrigger mode, you can set the configuration for all PWM channelsthen trigger them either individually or all at the same time. Burst mode PWM operation for standby. DI channel can be configured as either a simple digital inputchannel or a hardware trigger source for the PWM output.Software TriggerPWM (Continuous Mode)I-7088MCUDI / Hardware TriggerPWM (Burst Mode)
