Abstract

This paper presents a highly accurate and computationally efficient method for digital-domain computation of naturally sampled digital pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. This method is used in a switching digital audio amplifier. The method is scalable for performance versus calculation complexity. Using a second order version of the algorithm with no iteration, intermodulation linearity of better than 113 dB is obtained with a full scale input at 19 kHz and 20 kHz. Matlab simulation and measured results from a digital amplifier implemented with this algorithm are presented. Overall system performance is not limited by the accuracy of the natural sampling method.
