Precision Current Loop Thermocouple Transmitter

Current loop analog data transmission is used in industrial environment because of its robustness (good noise immunity), while providing wiring fault detection (short and broken wiring) with a simple mechanism by detecting out range current level. In 4-20mA current loop standard, the valid signal should be in the range of 4 to 20mA. Zero ampere current would indicate broken wiring, […]

Voltage To Frequency Converter

Using this circuit, we can accept positive or negative or differential control voltages. When the control voltage is zero, the output frequency is zero. To charge the timing capacitor C1 linearly, the 741 op amp forms a current source controlled by the voltage EC. The capacitor charges and discharges between 1/3 Vcc and 2/3 Vcc because NE555 is connected in […]

Logarithmic Light (Photodiode) Sensor Signal Conditioner

There are many measurement system that would be more suitable if we use logarithmic scale, especially when we try to mimics human sensory response. Most physical phenomenon that sensible to human’s biological sensor system is wide range in nature. Human perception system is gifted with right method to scale very wide measurement range: logarithmic. We perceive unit based on significance […]
