if so, I'll be my 10 year old Anaheim Automation driver are in fact PWM, as their spec. sheet calls out a minimum pulse width of 15 micro-seconds.
so I'll rephrase my quesion.....
Have chopper drivers won the driver wars and made PWM drivers obsolete? Or, are their applications better suited for PWM drivers.
This whole line of inquirey is based upon me trying to figure out whether my salvaged (10 year old, but unused) Anaheim Automation DPK series drive pack should be considered for a router table build.
Here's a link to the Drive packs spec. sheet.

Matt,
Yes, PWM = Pulse Width Modulation. A chopper drive *is* a PWM drive. PWM drives have been around for a long time, but only in the last 5 years or so have become cheap enough for widespread hobby use.
