Abstract

The present invention relates to a generation method of a variation form of an analogue signal generated by a PWM signal whose cyclic ratio and period are programmable. A signal can thus be generated whose evolution is linear over time. A succession of generation steps of a PWM signal during which different period and cyclic ratio values are applied, as well as pairs have different periods with the same cyclic ratio, thus enabling the analogue signal to be varied with great precision. According to an improvement, each generation step of a new PWM signal with different period and cyclic ratio values is applied over time slots of equal time. The present invention also relates to a generation system of a variable analogue signal implementing the method.
