US Patent 11282439 Analog pulse-width-modulation control circuits

An analog pulse-width-modulation circuit comprises an analog storage circuit, a load circuit responsive to control signals to load (e.g., store analog information in) the analog storage circuit, a discharge circuit that discharges the analog storage circuit over time, a constant-current supply providing a constant current, a digital switch responsive to the discharge circuit that switches the constant current, and a functional element connected to the digital switch that operates in response to the constant current. The analog pulse-width-modulation circuit can comprise an output control circuit that isolates or connects the discharge circuit from the analog storage circuit.
