I guess no one wants a single-component voltage PWM regulator or its just not cost effective to do so.
Perhaps its too much more expensive for it to be worth it.
but could it still be done if someone wanted to?
is there such one thats adjustable with an external potentiometer? with good voltage tolerance regulation?
so just one. to 3 extra pins?
then it'd be the worlds smallest most compact simplest voltage PWM regulator ever. all the circuitry just built right into the single chip with nothing but a speed knob added on. and a heatsink.
That would be stupendously good for controlling PC fans or such.
It would be extremely tiny if its very efficient and produces little heat.
It could be in-line with a fan simple fan cord for each fan in your computer (case fans) if you wanted.
with a little adjustment knob sticking out of the cord. and not much bulk added. could be on a tiny PCB in series with the fan.
I think something like that would be great to make efficient PWM fans or motors
Sorry I went on a rant there.
i just thought its a neat idea.
There could even be some kind of extremely ultra tiny copper-coil inductor built into the chip to boost the voltage up for the mosfet built in to turn it on better when the input voltage is somewhat low. like for example under 12v or just under 5v
