Abstract

The present invention relates to a pulse width modulation control system which is capable of preventing arm short phenomenon and controlling a operation circuit precisely by securing dead time. The present invention comprises a counter which sets initial voltage value differently and outputs chopping wave crossed at its maximum voltage value and minimum voltage value, an adder/subtracter which adds/subtracts signal generated by the counter, a reference voltage value generation unit which is inputted signal outputted from the adder/subtracter and outputs two different reference voltage values to single chopping wave, a comparator which compares reference voltage value generated by the reference voltage value generation unit with voltage value outputted from the adder/subtracter, and an output control unit which outputs PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) positive signal (SPWM+) or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) negative signal (SPWM−) in accordance with the output voltage value of the comparator.
