ABSTRACT:
A pulse width modulator (PWM) includes a driver and a two-way integrator. The driver is coupled to output a first and a subsequent period of a PWM signal. Both the first and the subsequent periods include the PWM signal changing between first and second states. The two-way integrator is coupled to integrate an input current and coupled to generate a duty ratio signal in response to integrating the input current. The driver determines a duty factor of both the first and the subsequent periods by setting the PWM signal to the second state in response to the duty ratio signal. The two-way integrator includes a capacitor that integrates the input current during the first period by charging the capacitor and integrates the input current during the subsequent period by discharging the capacitor.
