Hi everyone

I am trying to understand how to do my assignment, it is a motor that will be controlled with pulse-width modulation and the current is switched by power transistors. The way I think we can do this is with an H bridge by having 4 mosfets, 2 pmos and 2 nmos and having a circuit like the one in the picture.

We need to have a MUX with 2 inputs , A and B that will follow the requirements that when both A and B are ON, the motor will run at 100%, when A is 0 and B is 1 it will run at 30%. One of my problems is that Im not familiar with pulse width modulation, I don't know how to implement it to the MUX.

The power supply +12 volts and -12 volts.

We cannot use any sort of microcontrollers so I think the MUX should be constructed out of discrete components.

My biggest question is how to construct the H bridge such that it is connected to the MUX, how to make them work together

What does the MUX do with the inputs?

Did you research what pulse width modulation is? You must generate the PWM signal from a 1.2 kHz clock. Any other signals supplied in the problem?

30% refers to the percentage of time the signal is HIGH in the PWM SIGNAL.
