Switching Patterns of SPWM by Sampling
 SPWM generated by
programming TS
 Very common in products
 Computer, MCU, DSP
 Sampling voltage of a
sine wave in a switching
period
 Using SPWM representing sampled voltage of a sine wave
 Low costs in mass production
 Natural Sampling and Regular Sampling
Natural Sampling
VˆC
 Comparison of a sine wave
with a triangular wave Vk VˆM
 Modulating the average
voltage within each 1/2 TS
 Very common in products
 Computer, MCU, DSP
 Sampling voltage of a
δ0 δ0 δ0 δ0
sine wave in a switching
period δ1k δ2k

lagging parts of each TS δ1k δ2k
 Easier but less accurate
than natural sampling αk
Overmodulation
 Occuring when VˆM  VˆC
 M>1
 Pulse width is maximum or
0 for few switching cycles
for lower and upper peak of
the modulation signal
 Should be avoided
 Output voltage distorted
 Low order harmonics
generated
Overmodulation
 3rd harmonic modulation
 Overmodulation, M>1
 For 3-phase inverter
 Single 3-phase load
 Eg. Induction motor
 3rd harmonic eliminated in line voltage
 Switching pattern from regular sampling
