About Voltage-to-Frequency Converters

Voltage-to-frequency converters are electronic devices that convert voltage inputs to linearly proportional frequency outputs. They consist of an analog input amplifier, a precision oscillator system, a resistor-capacitor (RC) network, and a power supply. Low-drift input amplifiers enable voltage-to-frequency converters to process small signals while offering high levels of input resistance. Input amplifiers provide high impedances to positive voltages and low impedances to negative voltages. Scaling resistors adjust and trim a range of voltages while timing capacitors determine the full-scale frequency. Typically, voltage-to-frequency linearity requires the use of capacitors with low dielectric absorption (DA). Charge-balanced voltage-to-frequency converters provide increased accuracy and linearity, but have greater supply voltage and current requirements.

Current Loop Converters

Current loop converters convert an analog or digital signal to a current loop output such as 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA.

Current-to-Voltage Converters

Current-to-voltage converters scale and convert current signal input to the desired output voltage range.

Data Acquisition I/O Modules

Data acquisition I/O modules or cards have both input and output functionality. Digital or discrete I/O modules include on-off signals used in communication, user interface, or control.

Data Acquisition Output Modules

Data acquisition output modules or cards transfer amplified, conditioned, or digitized signals.

LVDT and RVDT Signal Conditioners

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) and rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) signal conditioners are devices that translate the linear or rotary movement of a ferromagnetic armature into an AC voltage that is proportional to the armature position.

Sensor Transmitters

Sensor transmitters are measurement or signal conditioning packages that provide a standard, calibrated output from a sensor or transducer in the form of a current loop output (e.g., 4-20 mA).

Voltage Converters and Voltage Inverters

Voltage converters and voltage inverters accept voltage input and provide a scaled voltage output. Conversion types include scaling up a low-level signal, voltage doubling, and inversion (converting a positive voltage to negative and vice versa).
