Abstract

An electronic apparatus that includes a digital processor (12), a first digital pulse width modulator (304), a second digital pulse width modulator (306), a combining circuit (308), and a load (310). The digital processor (12) produces a first digital signal (314) and a second digital signal (316). The first digital pulse width modulator (304) is responsive to the first digital signal (314), and the second digital pulse width modulator (306) is responsive to the second digital signal (316). The combining circuit (308) is responsive to the first digital pulse width modulator (304) and the second digital pulse width modulator (306). The load (310) is responsive to the combining circuit (308).
