MikeMl Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member May 16, 2010 #4 They are NOT the same!!! Mark Space Ratio = 1 means that Mark = Space (i.e. 50% duty cycle). Duty Cycle = 1 means that the output is on full time (Mark=100%, Space=0%, i.e. 100% duty cycle). Last edited: May 16, 2010

P peeryus New Member May 16, 2010 #5 ok i think i get it.so duty cycle = Ton/Period right? and mark space ratio = Ton/Toff right? Last edited: May 16, 2010
