I can't see any reason why this would ever be preferable to just using
the flat linear range (you certainly haven't articulated one, you're
just stating it). This seems like you are bodging around a limited
consumer driver, you should fix the consumer to cope with regulators
with lots of voltages - PWM regulators aren't the only ones with high
resolution steps.
The requirement is to have perfect linear steps interms of the
period/pulse time of PWM without loosing any voltage.
Continuous mode is pretty much near to what you said but here we are
loosing the perfect step as this divides the periods to 100 parts and
then set voltage.
If new mode is not accpetable then need to enhance the existing
continuous mode like before scaling for 100% of period, first look if we
get the perfect pulse time of of PWM period and if it is there then use
this direct instead of converting required voltage to 100% scale and
then back calculating duty time.
