Abstract

Method and electronic device for the pulse-modulated actuation of a load in a vehicle, a period duration (TPM) of a frequency (fPM) of the pulse modulation being able to be divided into an integer number (N) of sections (TSTEP), the duration of each of which corresponds to a multiple of a period duration (TOSC) of a clock signal, and the method having the steps of: calculating a frequency (fPM+1, fPM) or period duration (TPM+1, TPM) of a period of the pulse modulation on the basis of underlying frequency modulation, and determining the duration of a respective section (TSTEP) of a period duration (TPM) of the pulse modulation using the calculated frequency (fPM+1, fPM) or period duration (TPM+1, TPM) of a period of the pulse modulation.
