PWM stands for:
Pin Work Mode.
Pulse Weight Modulation.
Pulse Width Modulation.
In the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board, the pins labeled with the following symbol as a prefix for the number can be used as PWM output pins:
Hash sign (#).
Dollar sign ($).
Tilde symbol (~).
A 100% duty cycle (always signal in the ON status) in a PWM pin will generate a steady voltage equal to:
0 V.
The voltage specified in the position in which the IOREF jumper is located.
6 V.
A 0% duty cycle (always signal in the OFF status) in a PWM pin will generate a steady voltage equal to:
0 V.
The voltage specified in the position in which the IOREF jumper is located.
6 V.
A 50% duty cycle in a PWM pin with a LED connected to it will generate the same result as a steady voltage equal to:
0 V.
Half the voltage specified in the position in which the IOREF jumper is located.
6 V * 0.5 = 3 V.
