Abstract:
This application relates to digital PWM modulation. A PWM modulator ( 400, 1100 ) has a PWM generator ( 402 ) configured to receive pulse width data (P Width ) and to output a PWM signal (S PWM ) comprising a plurality of repeating PWM cycle periods, in which the duration of any pulse of the PWM signal in each PWM cycle period is based on the pulse width data. The PWM generator is configured to synchronise the PWM cycle periods, and the start and end of any PWM pulse, to a received first clock signal. The PWM generator is operable to generate pulses that have a positional error from a centred position within the PWM cycle period and a pulse position controller ( 403 ) is configured to control the position of a pulse in a PWM cycle period so as to at least partly compensate for the positional error of one or more preceding pulses.

Claim (Index 20):
A digital PWM pulse generator comprising:\n a first input for receiving pulse width data; a second input for receiving pulse position data; a clock input for receiving a first clock signal; an output for outputting a PWM signal comprising a series of pulses in PWM cycle periods, where PWM cycle period and the start and end of the pulses are synchronised to the first clock signal; wherein the duration of a pulse in a PWM cycle period is defined by the pulse width data and the position of the pulse in the PWM cycle period is defined by the pulse position data.
