Duty cycle
text:
A duty cycle or power cycle is the fraction of one period in which a signal or system is active. Duty cycle is commonly expressed as a percentage or a ratio. A period is the time it takes for a signal to complete an on-and-off cycle. As a formula, a duty cycle (%) may be expressed as: Equally, a duty cycle (ratio) may be expressed as: where D is the duty cycle, P W is the pulse width, and T is the total period of the signal. Thus, a 60% duty cycle means the signal is on 60% of the time but off 4
