Question about trim motor speed

A couple of posters have mentioned both direction and speed as inputs to the trim motor. Is the motor speed really variable (I doubt it), or does the motor run at constant speed when activated (my bet)? If electric trim in the 737 is a variable speed system, then there must be another microprocessor or software routine somewhere that computes the PWM (pulse width modulation) pulse train.
