Effortlessly calculate the duty cycle of any periodic signal or power application. Our free online tool helps you determine the proportion of 'on' time relative to the total period, crucial for understanding PWM, motor control, and power efficiency in electronics.
Formula:
The Duty Cycle (D) is calculated as the ratio of the pulse width (tON) to the total period (T), expressed as a percentage:
D = (tON / T) × 100%
Where:
- tON = Pulse Width (or On Time) - The duration for which the signal is active.
- T = Total Period - The total duration of one complete cycle (tON + tOFF).
