A pulse modulation power converter comprising a forward path including a
forward block (15), a switching stage (11) for amplifying an output from
the forward block, and an output filter (12) for low pass filtering an
output signal from the switching stage, a global feedback path (13),
connected to the low pass filtered output signal, comprising a global
feedback block (18, 19) for generating a feedback signal, and means (14)
for subtracting said feedback signal from an input signal, and feeding
the result to said forward path. The global feedback block and/or forward
block includes means for compensating at least a portion of a phase lag
of said output filter, and means for obtaining a 180 degrees phase lag at
a switching frequency, thereby achieving conditions for a controlled
oscillation at said switching frequency. The control system combines the
advantages of the self-oscillation technology with a high gain, wide-band
control loop for suppressing non-linearities. This will lead to a better
performing system in terms of total harmonic distortion and noise.
