Attraction of the delta modulation (DM) technique is that it guarantees that the on and off time of the inverter switches will never fall below a given minimum value.
Delta modulation compares the input analog voltage with the "reference" voltage.
Voice channels can be provided over these digital links by using phase-code modulation (PCM) or continous-variable-slope delta modulation (CVSD) encoding.
