Duty cycles of pulse width modulation (“PWM”) pulses are determined by measurements taken with respect to an internally generated clock signal. One of these measurements calculates, in a continuous dynamic manner, a ratio of the number of cycles of the internally generated clock signal to one or more cycles of a PWM clock signal utilized as a time base for generation of the PWM pulses. This clock ratio measurement designates how many cycles of the internally generated clock signal will be used to designate a first portion of a duty cycle for each PWM pulse. Another measurement is utilized to determine a fractional portion of a cycle of the internally generated clock signal that will be used to designate a second portion of the duty cycle for each PWM pulse.
