yup..i could understand that..but how could i change the duty cycle??

In an analog PWM you change the value of some component. A manual method is to use a potentiometer to change a resistence. This resistance determines the rate of charging or discharging of a capacitor. Adjusting this charge/discharge rate is what changes the pulse width.

In a digital PWM you change the value of a register and that changes the value of the pulse width.

Another approach is to use a triangle waveform that has a fixed frequency which is fed to one input of a voltage comparator and then vary the dc signal fed to the other input of the comparator.

Hi charcle,

Maybe you can sketch your schematic and post it so that our members can see how you have hooked up your circuit.
