.. Even briefly saturating the A/D converter adds more nonlinearities than dither can remove. Another approach adds a dithered-frequency, constant-amplitude signal. Figure 1 shows one possible implementation featuring a Linear LTC1799 ...
.. Munoz In a prior research project in the communications field, we created a portable, low-frequency (0 to 1 MHz) signal generator design. This generator had a broad output voltage range (0 to 100 Vp-p) ...
.. with a low-pass phase-shift network configuration rather than the more-common high-pass network. Figure 1. This very-low-frequency sine- and square-wave generator requires few components, but provides low-distortion outputs (derived ...
.. use in low-power applications operating at frequencies as high as 10 MHz and beyond and those in which ramp linearity and frequency accuracy are not prominent concerns. Figure 1. You can use the C T ramp’s charge and fast ...
.. the mathematical inverse of an analog voltage by converting it to frequency and measuring the period. A popular series of inexpensive distance sensors integrates an infrared ...
.. Stafford, Pittsburgh, PA EDN A typical voltage-to-frequency converter also known as a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) IC has a simple linear tuning ...
.. producing more than 1 billion of them a year. By adding a few components to the NE555, you can build a simple voltage-to-frequency converter for less than 50 cents. The circuit contains a Miller integrator based on a TL071 along with ...
.. 1. An op amp and a switched-capacitor filter combine to form a highly selective notch filter. Figure 2. This plot is the frequency response of the third-order lowpass-filter stage. You set the passband ripple at approximately 5 dB to ...
.. only the LF or DC component that is proportional to duty cycle. However, the low-pass filter can’t filter out the PWM frequency completely, and for that reason, the LF/DC signal will generally have some ripple. There are two ...
