ABSTRACT:
A low-power, synchronous pulse width modulator utilizes a first clock signal at a first frequency to generate a pulse-width modulated signal at the first frequency without requiring a second over sampling clock signal that has a substantially higher frequency by selecting taps from a phase shifting structure to synthesize the waveform.
