Current to Voltage Converter

• A current to voltage converter will produce a voltage proportional to the


given current. This circuit is required if your measuring instrument is
capable only of measuring voltages and you need to measure the current
output.
• (Vout-V)/Rf=(Ip+I)
Since output is connected to V through Rf , the opamp is in negative
feedback thus V-=V+=0
And assuming I=0 and simplifying Vout=IpRf
Voltage to Current Converter
• The circuits in instrumentation for analog representation of certain
physical quantities (weight, pressure, motion etc), DC current is
preferred. This is because DC current signals will be constant throughout
the circuit in series from the source to the load.
• The current sensing instruments also have the advantage of less noise.
So, sometimes it is essential to create current which is corresponding or
proportional to a definite voltage. For this purpose Voltage to Current
Converters are used.
• When we confer about the connection between voltage and current, it is obvious
to mention the Ohm’s law. V=IR
• The circuit diagram of a resistor which performs as a simple voltage to current
converter is represented below. In this diagram, the electrical quantities such as
voltage and current are represented through bars and loop respectively.
• For the input loop, the voltage equation is, VIN=VD+VF
Since A is very large, VD=0
So, VIN=VF
Since, the input to the Op-amp, IB’=0
• VIN=IL*R
• Ii=IL=VIN/R
Analog and digital filters

• The function of a filter is to remove unwanted parts of the signal,


such as random noise, or to extract useful parts of the signal, such as
the components lying within a certain frequency range
There are two main kinds of filter, analog and
digital
• An analog filter uses analog electronic circuits made up from
components such as resistors, capacitors and opamps to produce the
required filtering effect. Such filter circuits are widely used in such
applications as noise reduction, video signal enhancement, graphic
equalizers in hi-fi systems, and many other areas.
• A digital filter uses a digital processor to perform numerical
calculations on sampled values of the signal. The processor may be a
general-purpose computer such as a PC, or a specialised DSP (Digital
Signal Processor) chip.
