Holmes (Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Monash University, Australia) and Lipo (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison) explain fundamentals of pulse width modulation (PWM), looking at active switch pulse width determination, active switch pulse placement within a switching period, and active switch pulse sequence between phase legs and across switching periods. They offer a general approach to the development of fixed switching frequency pulse width-modulated strategies to suit hard-switched converters.
