555 Makes Handy Voltage to time Converter:  02/01/01 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 11/05) 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,....

Circuit Converts Pulse Width to Voltage #2:  10/28/99 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 4/02) -The circuit is optimized for a positive-going pulse width of1 to2 msec, repeating at intervals of approximately17 msec. The output produces a voltage of0.95V for a1-msec pulse to2.25V for a2-msec pulse.

Circuit Converts Pulse Width to Voltage:  10/25/01 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  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. ...

DDS IC Plus Frequency to Voltage Converter Make Low Cost Dac:  02/05/04 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  Precision DACs are essential in many consumer, industrial, and military applications, but high-resolution DACs can be costly. Frequency-to-voltage converters have good nonlinearity specifications—typically, 0.002% for the AD650—and are inherently monotonic. This Design Idea shows how you can use a frequency-to-voltage converter and a DDS (direct-digital-synthesizer) chip for precise......

Monostable Makes Low Cost F/ Volt Converter:  02/18/99 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 6/06) The circuit in Figure 1 is a low-cost frequency-to-voltage (F/V) converter. Using a monostable (one-shot) multivibrator, the circuit accepts an open-collector square wave that varies in frequency from 0 to 10 kHz. The one-shot produces a pulse of a fixed width each time the input signal triggers it. The result is a variable-frequency, variable-duty-cycle signal at the output of the one-shot. The time constant determined by R2C1, 100 µsec, determines the width of the pulses the one-shot produces. This time matches the period of the maximum input frequency (10 kHz). The duty cycle of the one-shot's output is thus 100% when the input is at its maximum frequency....
