ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an attenuation control system (9) in a switching power conversion system comprising a digital modulator (4), for generating a modulated control signal from a (digital) source signal and a switching power state (6), said attenuation control system comprising: means for digitally attenuating the modulated signal, first gain shifting means (7) for shifting a supply voltage of said power stage between a plurality of predefined voltage levels, said first gain shifting means being arranged to decrease the power stage gain when the attenuation of the modulated signal exceeds a predefined level. This invention also relates to an attenuating method in a switching power conversion system comprising a digital modulator, for generating a modulated control signal from a (digital) source signal, and a switching power stage.
