VOLTAGE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 22:50:00 Author:Jessie

The voltage-to-frequency converter draws <10 mA from one +5-V supply while producing three 0- to 100-kHz pulse outputs.One output is proportional to positive input voltages and inactive for negative inputs, another responds when the input is negative, and a third outputs a frequency that is proportional to the input's absolute value. The converter's unadjusted zero offset is less than 1 ppm of full scale and its linearity is better than 0.1 percent.   (View)

PRECISION_SIGNAL_RECTIFIER

Published:2009/7/15 4:00:00 Author:Jessie

High input impedance at one of differential inputs of precision rectifier is achieved with opamp A1 whose output is switched between inputs of in-strumentation amplifier A2 by diodes. This switching reverses polarity of gain provided by A2, when signal polarity changes, so output signal is always positive.-J. Graeme, Measure Differential AC Signals Easily with Precision Rectifiers, EDN Magazine, Jan. 20, 1975, p 45-48.   (View)
