24Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
25============================
26
27Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
28control power supplied to electrical devices.
29
30The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers of
31PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is
32registered as :c:type:`struct pwm_chip <pwm_chip>`. Providers
33are expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure.
34This structure contains fields that describe a particular chip.
35
36A chip exposes one or more PWM signal sources, each of which exposed as
37a :c:type:`struct pwm_device <pwm_device>`. Operations can be
38performed on PWM devices to control the period, duty cycle, polarity and
39active state of the signal.
40
41Note that PWM devices are exclusive resources: they can always only be
42used by one consumer at a time.
