Complete elimination of these distortions usually requires excessive oversampling of the source PCM audio signal which results to impractical realizations of digital PWM systems. In this paper a description of digital PWM distortion generation mechanism is given and a novel principle for their minimization is proposed based on a process having some similarity to the dithering principle employed in multibit signal quantization. This conditioning signal is termed jither and it can be applied either in the PCM amplitude or the PWM time domain. It is shown that the proposed method achieves significant decrement of the harmonic distortions rendering digital PWM performance equivalent to that of source PCM audio for mild oversampling . X4 resulting to typical PWM clock rates of 90 MHz. Copyright 2007 A. Floros and J. Mourjopoulos.
