HIGH FREQUENCY PULSE WIDTH MODULATION SHAPING

Duty cycles of pulse width modulation (“PWM”) pulses are determined by measurements taken with respect to an internally generated clock signal. One of these measurements calculates, in a continuous dynamic manner, a ratio of the number of cycles of the internally generated clock signal to one or more cycles of a PWM clock signal utilized as a time base for generation of the PWM pulses. This clock ratio measurement designates how many cycles of the internally generated clock signal will be used to designate a first portion of a duty cycle for each PWM pulse. Another measurement is utilized to determine a fractional portion of a cycle of the internally generated clock signal that will be used to designate a second portion of the duty cycle for each PWM pulse.
