Description

This paper presents a method for utilizing the on-chip PWM generators on a TMS320C240 DSP for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion. The method involves analog low-pass filtering the PWM signal to remove high frequency components leaving only the low-frequency content. Theoretical and experimental results are presented to quantify the achievable bit resolution. In addition analog low-pass filter
