[sdiy] DCO amplitude with filtered PWM

[rsdio at audiobanshee.com]

Would you be willing to explain what you mean by “over compensating the integrator”?


Does that mean you cannot simultaneously output ramp and square?

Does your integrator run into saturation purposely?

Does your integrator charge or discharge during the reset?

I can almost imagine how you’re getting square by over compensating, but not PWM.

In my case, I’m actually creating square and pwm shapes by over compensating the integrator, instead of the usual comparator, since everything is under tight control from the micro. my current scheme has the integrators reference (+ input of the op amp) fed by a DAC as well, so it’s quite flexible. switching to the much slower PWM scheme away from the very fast 12bit DACs on the spendy chips will limit its ability in that regard.
