Abstract

A pulse width modulation circuit capable of linearly adjusting duty cycle with voltage, which comprises an input voltage source for generating an input voltage, a regulator for generating a regulated voltage, a first voltage-dividing unit for providing a first divided voltage, a second voltage-dividing unit for providing a second divided voltage, a third voltage-dividing unit for providing a third divided voltage, a voltage adder for adding the first divided voltage and the third divided voltage for generating a high level voltage, a waveform generator for generating an oscillating signal according to the high level voltage and the third divided voltage, and a comparator having a first input terminal coupled to the second voltage-dividing unit, a second terminal coupled to the waveform generator, and an output terminal for comparing the second divided voltage with the oscillating signal to output a pulse width modulation signal through the output terminal.
