Abstract

See full text

A microcontroller having digital to frequency converter and pulse frequency modulator capabilities. The digital to frequency converter (DFC) generates a 50 percent duty cycle square wave signal that may be varied in frequency, wherein the 50 percent duty cycle square wave signal is directly proportional and linear with a count value put into an increment register. The pulse to frequency modulator (PFM) generates pulses having pulse widths of the input clock for each rollover of a counter. The frequency of these pulses is directly proportional and linear with the count value put into the increment register.
