SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS HAVING EXTENDED PULSE WIDTH MODULATION PHASE OFFSET

摘要

Extending pulse width modulation phase offset when generating phase shifted groups of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals is accomplished with a separate phase counter that is independent of the time-base counters used in traditional PWM generation circuits and that is prevented from being retriggered until an existing duty cycle has completed. This is accomplished with a phase offset counter, a phase comparator and a circuit that is triggered via a master time base for overall synchronization of the multi-phase PWM signal generation.
