[edit] Details
This graph represents the main signals of a sigma-delta PWM. The top green waveform is the reference signal, on which the output signal (PWM, in the middle plot) is substracted to form the error signal (blue, in top plot). This error is integrated (bottom plot), and when the integral of the error exceeds the limits (red lines), the output changes state.
This figure was made using the following python code (requires gnuplot 4.0 and scipy):
#!/usr/bin/python
#this file generates data and the gnuplot file used for the sigma
# delta pwm plot. Needs python, scipy and gnuplot (4.0 used)
from scipy import *
freq= 0.05 # frequency of the reference signal
step=1e-3 # calculation time step
hysteresis=0.15 # hysteresis of the sigma-delta pwm
pwm=[1] # This vector is the pwm signal
grid=["0"] # this vector contains the x-values at which the pwm signal
# changes state
error=[0]
integral=[0]
file = open("sigma_delta.dat","w") # the data file
for i in range(int(1/(freq*step))):
reference=sin(i*step*freq*2*pi)
error=reference-pwm[i]
integral.append(integral[i]+step*error)
if integral[i+1]>hysteresis:
pwm.append(1)
grid.append("%s"%(i*step))
elif integral[i+1]<-hysteresis:
pwm.append(-1)
grid.append("%s"%(i*step))
else:
pwm.append(pwm[i])
file.write('%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n'%(i*step,reference,pwm[i],
error,integral[i]))
file.close() # end of data generation
