Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure illustrates a modulation method for a switching modulator. Firstly, a data signal is received. Then, a first output signal at a first output side of the switching modulator and a second output signal at a second output side of the switching modulator are generated according to the data signal received, wherein the first output signal is an addition signal of a first pulse signal and the data signal, the second output signal is a second pulse signal, the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal are aligned to a same pulse width, and the pulse width equals to a minimum resolution of the switching modulator.

Claims (9)

1. A modulation method for a switching modulator, comprising:

receiving a data signal;

generating a first output signal at a first output side of the switching modulator and a second output signal at a second output side of the switching modulator according to the data signal received, wherein the first output signal is an addition signal of a first pulse signal and the data signal, the second output signal is a second pulse signal, centers of the first and the second pulse signals are aligned to each other, the first pulse and the second signals have a pulse width, and the pulse width equals to a minimum resolution of the switching modulator, wherein the minimum resolution of the switching modulator is 1/(f pwM *2 N ), wherein f PwM is a frequency of the data signal presented as a pulse width modulation signal, and N is a bit number of the data signal.

2. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 1 , wherein the data signal is presented as a pulse width modulation signal.

3. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of switching signals are generated according to the data signal, and the switching modulator are controlled by the switching signals to generate the first output signal and the second output signal.

4. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 1 , wherein the addition signal is defined as a constant amplitude signal with a summation width of a width of the data signal and the pulse width.

5. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 4 , wherein the constant amplitude signal, the first pulse signal, the second pulse signal, and the data signal have a same amplitude.

6. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 5 , wherein an area of a differential signal in an actual case is the same as that in an ideal case, and the second output signal is subtracted from the first output signal to form the differential signal.

7. The modulation method for the switching modulator according to claim 5 , wherein the first output signal and the second output signal are applied to two terminals of a load.
