Abstract
A pulse width modulation system including a plurality of module building blocks. A master control board includes a master board timer to generate a clock signal having a master timer rate. Each of slave control boards includes a slave board timer and is configured to determine a fictive master board timer based upon timer information received from the master control board via a communication bus, and further to synchronize the timer rate of the slave board timer to the master timer rate. The timer information includes timer offset information defining a time offset between the master board timer and the slave board timer The slave control board applies the time offset in control of pulse width modulated phase outputs such that the position of a slave pulse width modulated phase output signal is controlled in relation to the fictive master board timer.
