Abstract
This paper presents systematic approaches to generate the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal by leveraging a simple configuration based on an operational amplifier (op-amp) comprising the Schmitt Trigger circuit and the integrator circuit. Two PWM modulation techniques are proposed according to the input position of the information signal. First, utilizing inverting terminal of the Schmitt Trigger circuit as an input terminal can function as the PWM modulator. The resulting PWM output exhibits its duty cycle proportional to the derivative of the input signal. Second, when input signal is applied to the non-inverting terminal of the integrator circuit, the generated PWM signal whose duty cycle is proportional to both input and its integral. To ensure that the generated PWM signal conveys the message correctly, PWM demodulator is used to validate and confirm the results. Therefore, both proposed configurations effectively function as PWM modulators for both information signal and its integral. Finally, the results of in-depth mathematical analysis are validated and align well with all experimental results.
