555 pwm controller

functionality

This is a simple pwm controller based on the famous 555 timer chip.
It is necessary for dc devices that needs to be dimmed like high power leds,motors,fans e.t.c.
There isn't enough talk about this circuit.
With the potentiometer you can adjust the pulse length of the output.
With the capacitor c2 you can change the frequency of the output.
By default and with the C2 at 10nf the output is rated at few khz.
The bigger the capacitor the smaller the frequency.
The circuit can operates in a wide input voltage range beginning from 5 volts and up to 18 volts.
The output can sink current up to 4 amps.
If necessary attach a heat sink on the mosfet.

the power transition to the output is 5-95%.
