I don't know if I understand your problem, it seems that deep PWM causes
a perception of FM, which you don't like.
Now, PWM could be done with two 50% duty cycle oscillators, slighly
detuned and logical ANDed. If the two waves are in phase you get 50%
duty cycle, out of phase means 0%. A kind of nonlinear beating (of course
this would be stupid, this is only an example).
In order to modulate you have to phase shift one of the
waves. Unfortunately frequency is change of phase, or :
F=d/dt P
So , changing the phase implies changing frequency at least of one of
the components, and this is audible.
So , from this reasoning I'd say: No, you can't get one without the other.
