Ok, that was a uSoft answer (correct but useless) sorry. It doesn't matter because the PWM will supply full voltage all the time, and control the power available to the motor by changing the duty cycle of the pulse train. A possible issue with these things would be noise injection into the audio gear, dunno if it would be a problem in practice. Yrs, d |
