Abstract:
A method is for reducing pulse skipping from a characteristic affecting a modulating signal input to an integrator of a pulse width modulation (PWM) modulator, together with a square wave carrier signal for generating a triangular waveform of the PWM modulator. The method may include creating a broad synchronous peak at vertexes of the triangular waveform output by the integrator.

Claim (Index 9):
A pulse width modulation (PWM) modulator, comprising:\n an operational amplifier comprising a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal; a capacitive element having a first terminal tied to the first input terminal; a resistive element having a first terminal tied to a second terminal of the capacitive element, the resistive element further having a second terminal tied to the output terminal of the operational amplifier; a carrier signal generator configured to generate a carrier signal, wherein the first input terminal of the operational amplifier is configured to receive the carrier signal; a modulator configured to generate a modulating signal, the carrier signal having a frequency greater than a frequency of the modulating signal, wherein the first input terminal of the operational amplifier is configured to receive the modulating signal, and wherein the output terminal of the operational amplifier is configured to generate a triangular waveform; and a comparator configured to compare the triangular waveform with a threshold and output a PWM modulated carrier signal.
