In the simplest form, current to voltage converter can be implemented as simple as one resistor, since a voltage is developed when an electrical current flow against a resistance. The problem is that the resistance always affect the current by decreasing the current flow, and the current to voltage conversion is not accurate. In some [...]

For any electrically conductive liquid level measurement, this single chip circuit is very compact and simple. This circuit is an ac excited fluid level sensor, which uses alternating current to provide biasing for the sensor probe to avoid electrolysis of the probes. This ac excitation makes the sensing probe has longer lifetime. This circuit can [...]

A modulated current is provided by the integrated rotational speed sensor KMI 15/x. This current signal must be converted to ground referenced voltage signal, matching the logic levels of the processing unit for digital signal processing. This signal conditioning can be done by using this circuit. This circuit consist of protective elements to suppress line [...]

To obtain an accurate pressure value, we must remove the offset errors. There are many basic circuit designs that is used to remove the offset errors. This circuit uses three method to remove the offsets errors, they are symmetrical offset trim, asymmetrical offset trim and amplifier gain adjustment. Here is the circuit: [...]
