Abstract:
An analog signal-to-pulse width modulation (PWM) converter includes a ramp generator generating a ramp signal and a comparator circuit comparing the ramp signal to a first voltage, a second voltage, and an analog input signal. A duty cycle calculation circuit generates a first control signal to the ramp generator to generate the ramp signal. Based on signals from the comparator circuit, the duty cycle calculation circuit calculates the ratio of the time it takes for the ramp signal to exceed the analog input signal from when the ramp signal exceeds the first voltage to the time it takes for the ramp signal to exceed the second voltage from when the ramp signal exceeds the first voltage. A PWM signal generator generates a PWM output signal based on the ratio calculated by the duty cycle calculation circuit.
