Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution of a pulse width modulation circuit by giving an output of the 1st complementary metallic oxide semiconductor inverter to which a pulse signal is given to the 2nd complementary metallic oxide semiconductor inverter outputting a pulse width modulation circuit. CONSTITUTION:When a modulation signal from a modulation signal generating source is applied to a power terminal 12 of a CMOS inverter 6 via a capacitor 9, a threshold voltage of the CMOS inverter is changed in response to the amplitude of this modulation signal and the modulation signal is superimposed on an output pulse of the inverter 6. When the output of the inverter 6 is given to an inverter 7, the pulse width of the output waveform from the inverter 7 is small when the amplitude of the modulation signal is large, and the pulse width is large when the amplitude of the modulation signal is small.
