Current-to-voltage converters are electronic devices that convert current signal inputs to proportional voltage outputs. They include an operational amplifier for simple linear signal processing and a resistor for dissipating current. The resistance between the operational amplifier’s input and output determines the voltage range for specific current signals. Additional circuitry such as an instrumentation amplifier removes small amounts of reverse or dark current. In current-to-voltage converters that handle a range of currents, design considerations account for the DC offset caused by both the input device and the operational amplifier. To remove unwanted signals, current-to-voltage converters often include passive filters that use only capacitors or active filters that use gain and feedback. 


Products & Services Related to Current-to-Voltage Converters
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.
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.
Frequency Converters and Translators
Frequency converters and translators scale and/or filter frequency inputs to produce outputs signals with frequencies that are a function of the inputs.
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.
Signal Converters
Signal converters contain inputs for one type of signal and outputs of another. Features can also include filtering and amplification or attenuation.
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).
