Zusammenfassung:An electronic apparatus (10; 20) comprising a switching-type output power stage (14), in particular of a full-bridge or half-bridge type, which receives on an input of its own a driving signal (PWM_in; PWM_out) pulsed between two electrical levels and supplies at output an output power signal (PWM_pow),said electronic apparatus (10; 20) comprising:a modulator circuit (11) which carries out a pulse modulation, in particular a pulse-width modulation (PWM) and is configured for converting a continuous or digital electrical input signal (Vi) into an input signal (PWM_in) pulsed between two electrical levels, having a mean value proportional to the amplitude of the input signal (Vi); anda circuit arrangement (17; 27; 37; 37') for controlling saturation of an output signal (Vout) supplied by the switching-type output power stage (14),wherein:said circuit arrangement comprises a pulse-remodulator circuit (17; 27; 37; 37'), which is set between the output of the modulator circuit (11) and the input of the switching-type output power stage (14) and is configured for supplying on an output of its own, as driving signal (PWM_out) to the switching-type output power stage (14), a respective modulated signal (PWM_out) pulsed between two electrical levels, said pulse-remodulator circuit (17; 27; 37; 37') being configured for:measuring a pulse width (Win, Lin) as pulse time interval (Win, Lin) elapsing between two consecutive pulsed-signal edges of the pulsed input signal (PWM_in); andif said measurement of the pulse width (Win, Lin) indicates that the latter is below a given minimum value (Wmin, Lmin), remodulating said pulsed input signal (PWM_in), imposing equality between a pulse width (Wout, Lout) of the output pulsed signal (PWM_out) and said value of minimum width (Wmin, Lmin) and imposing equality between a value of modulation index (Dout) of the output signal (PWM_out) and a value of modulation index (Din) of the input signal (PWM_in), applying a lengthening of the output period (Tout).
