Abstract
A voltage proportional to a pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle is generated, using a low pass filter (LPF). A 2nd or higher order LPF is provided, giving a 90×(2n+1) degree phase shift for (n=0, 1, 2, . . . ), so that the sampling timing at the latter stages can be at the rising and/or falling edge of the PWM input signal. A switched capacitor circuit after the 2nd or higher order LPF is provided, removing a voltage ripple on an LPF output, and using a smaller device area.
