555 Makes Handy Voltage to time Converter - 02/01/01 EDN-Design
Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 is a simple, low-cost voltage-to-time
converter using ubiquitous 555 timer chip. You can use IC's
monostable multivibrator as a voltage-to-time converter by connecting
analog-voltage input to charging resistor, R, instead of
connecting R to VCC. With this modification,.....(design idea)
Circuit Converts Pulse Width to Voltage - 10/25/01 EDN-Design Ideas: The
circuit in Figure 1 converts pulse information to a clean dc voltage by the end
of a single incoming pulse. In another technique, an RC filter can convert a PWM
signal to an averaged dc voltage, but this method is slow in responding.
Converting low-duty-cycle pulse information is slower yet.....(design idea)
Pulse Period to Voltage Converter - This is a test circuit converts a square
wave input signal into a voltage. But, the voltage produced is proportional to
the time between edges (period) of the signal, not the frequency. The range is
from 100uS to to 10mS, which produces a voltage from 100mV to 10 volts. Other
scale factors are also possible. The circuit is powered from single 15v supply
and uses inexpensive parts. It is great when a signal's period instead of its
frequency needs to be monitored. Published in Electronic Design, Sept 27, 1990.
