How To Change Frequency On PWM Pins Of

Arduino UNO
Arduino Uno is one of the most commonly used Development boards these days.
It can be used for almost any application that one can think of. One such
application is in high-frequency circuits. But to use a controller in a high-
frequency circuit like in a buck converter, the controller must be able to generate
high-frequency PWM wave. And if the controller you are using is Arduino Uno,
then you must know how to change frequency on PWM pins of Arduino Uno.

Now there are many facts about Arduino with which many students are not
familiar. And one of the facts is this: “There is a certain default frequency for each
PWM pin, which is called when the analogWrite command is used on that pin.
And this default frequency can be changed to a value as high as 65Khz and as low
as 30Hz by using just one line code”.

EXAMPLE:

To show you how the frequency changes on applying the above code, the Arduino
circuit is simulated in Proteus:

Check out: How to add Arduino Library to Proteus and Simulate Arduino

Projects

1. Two Arduino are selected and placed on Front-Panel

2. Digital Pin 3 ( PWM pin) of each Arduino is connected to the oscilloscope

3. Two separate programs are written for each Arduino:

Program A – Default frequency on Pin 3

void setup() {

pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
// put your setup code here, to run once:

void loop() {
analogWrite(3,155);
// put your main code here, to run
repeatedly:

Program B – Changed frequency on Pin 3

void setup() {

TCCR2B = TCCR2B & B11111000 |

B00000001; // for PWM frequency of
31372.55 Hz
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
// put your setup code here, to run once:

void loop() {
analogWrite(3,155);
// put your main code here, to run
repeatedly:

4. Hex file of above programs are given to Arduino

5. Run Simulation

6. It can be clearly seen in oscilloscope that frequency is increased to a very high

value when this piece of code is used :
TCCR2B = TCCR2B & B11111000 | B00000001; // for PWM frequency of
31372.55 Hz
