So would I, because it's not true! As I've said this many times, it's plain
and simple variable DC voltage with 6 steps. Look at...

Your page says you used a voltmeter. That is insufficient evidence. Put
it on a scope.

True, I used a voltmeter to generate the data on that page, but I didn't claim
anywhere on my page or previous posts that that was what I used to prove it is
not PWM.

But (pedant mode on) your wording in the post above does make that
implication. ;-)

Proof is obtained by opening the controller, getting the number of
the chip used and looking it up in a databook. Turns out to be a simple
variable voltage regulator.

No fair. :-) That's a white box test. Much more fun to drag out a scope.

OK, I give.
