Are you saying that I'd do better with the capacitor/resistor combo and a FET than by using a FET to amplify the 0-5V signal out of my DAC? Cost wise, its not a big difference either way. Going with a DAC, I'd use a tiny24 to drive a SPI DAC, to get 4 ch of PWM, I'd have to get a

Some of the brick LED drivers I have used have pretty "stiff" control inputs. BuckPuck is one. Not much current at the high voltage end, but quite a bit (several milliamperes) at the low voltage end. Do not assume they are anything like a high impedance. A "single transistor" is

Yes, I knew about that. My plan is to have a 0-5V DAC and a transistor with a gain of 2 as a buffer to drive the LED driver's input. Thanks for taking the time to point out some stuff I might not have been thinking of. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Wagner" To: AVR-Chat@

The OP could drive a switch FET (2N7000, for example) from the AVR and powered from +10V or more. A couple of resistors and a cap will do it. And, you will get far better linearity than though any op-amp. Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cat C" To: "AVR-Chat@yahoogroups.co

Either way you'll likely still need an amplifier (neither AVRs nor DACs won't likely give you 10V output). So you could go with the PWM and a buffer/amplifier. Cat ---------------------------------------- > To: AVR-Chat@yahoogroups.com > CC: AVR-Chat@yahoogroups.com > From: phabi

And, further, you will NOT get a 10V signal from a 5V logic PWM. From 5V logic,it will vary from (approximately) 0 to (approximately) 5V. There are ways to get 10V out, but you need some kind of supply that is 10V or higher to do it. Second, it will take more than just a capacito

Thanks Don, In my case I'm supposed to drive a commercial LED driver's input 0-10VDC control voltage. Since the input impedance of the LED driver bricks will no doubt vary between manufacturers and probably even models from the same manufacturer it sounds like I'll be safer by us

I need to generate a 0-10V signal to control some dimmable LED drivers. I know I could do it with a DAC, but I think I might be able to save a part by generating a PWM signal and smoothing it out with a capacitor to make a voltage out of it. My problem is, I don't know how to pro
