No, not unless the prior descriptions of the hardware have been wildly
inaccurate - my understanding had been that the DCDC was a normal DCDC
with an analogue input intended to be biased to set the output voltage
(presumably in terms of a full rail supply) and that the PWM had been
connected to this analogue input.  If the PWM is supplying the DCDC then 
the hardware design just seems bizzare, I can't see how this would even
work.
