Study Notes
Voltage-to-Current Converter (V-to-I Converter)
- Converts input voltage into proportional output current.
- Used to drive devices requiring current input, such as LEDs, motors, and transducers.
- Uses an op-amp in inverting configuration with a feedback resistor.
- Output current is proportional to input voltage and flows through the load.
- Maintains a virtual ground at the inverting terminal to ensure current proportionality.
- Output current equation: Iout = Vin/R, where R is the feedback resistor.
- High input impedance and low output impedance.
Current-to-Voltage Converter (I-to-V Converter)
- Converts input current into proportional output voltage.
- Widely used in sensor applications where the output is in the form of current (e.g., photodiodes, current transducers).
- Uses an op-amp in inverting configuration with a feedback resistor.
- Output voltage is proportional to the input current.
- Op-amp maintains a virtual ground at the inverting terminal.
- Input current flows through the feedback resistor, developing a voltage across it.
- Output voltage equation: Vout = -Iin x Rf, where Rf is the feedback resistor.
- High accuracy, high sensitivity, and low input impedance.
