    This paper presents a one-bit cell of reverse Gray-code algorithmic analog-to-digital converter. The proposed converter comprises of full-wave rectifier, current mirrors, and current comparator. The realization method is simple, small in size, and suitable for integrated circuit form. The design strategy is based on the MOS biased at the edge of conduction to provide a low accumulated error and a low distortion in the transfer characteristic. An N-bit resolution can be achieved by cascading of the N proposed one-bit cells. PSPICE simulation results supporting the characteristics of proposed circuit are agreed with the expected values. © ICROS.

    Linear Variable Differential Transformer Signal Conditioning Circuit Based on Phase-Locked Loop
    The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel technique for extracting the position signal from an inductive displacement transducer named a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). In general, the movement of the LVDT core causes its primary inductance change in linear form. The primary winding of the LVDT is used as a time-dependent element for the triangular and square wave generator, which can be called self-oscillation, to generate frequency. The advantage of the proposed technique is that it can measure the displacement using the LVDT without an external oscillator. The change in primary inductance causes the frequency deviation generated by the oscillator. The deviated frequency is captured and converted into a voltage signal using the principle of the phase-locked loop. All the components used in this study are commercially available. The merits of this proposed technique are simple configuration, small size, and low cost. Moreover, the operating range of the LVDT can be extended without the limitation of the nonlinear transfer characteristic. The performance of the proposed technique is discussed in detail and confirmed by experimental implementation. Experimental results show that the maximum error from the proposed technique is about 0.42% and the operating range of the LVDT can be extended to more than 200%. It can be seen that the proposed technique is suitable for embedded measurement in small or micro robots.

    Simple LVDT signal to DC converter
    A simple technique to produce a linear signal from a displacement transducer, linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), is introduced in this paper. The two-quadrant divider is used to precede the ratio of a different and sum of the two winding signals from the LVDT instead of a four-quadrant divider of a recent approach. The two- quadrant divider is obtained by an operational transcondutance amplifier (OTA) in the form of a voltage-tocurrent converter. The signal from the divider is held by the sample and hold circuit (SHC) controlled by the peak-amplitude finder. As a result, the held signal is achieved without using a low-pass filter. The temperature effect of both OTA and LVDT are compensated. The merit of the proposed technique is that the circuit requires without the low-pass filter. Therefore, the fast response is obtained. The performance of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the experimental results using commercial devices.

    A technique for implementing a differential voltage-to-current converter that is suitable for fabrication in CMOS technology is presented. The transconductance of the converter is determined by an external resistor. Very linear and accurate transconductance is obtained with a conversion error of 0-012% for an external resistance of 25 Ω. Simulation results are given to show the linearity and accuracy of the conversion circuit. The voltage-to-current converter is a versatile building block and can be applied as a current conveyor, a floating inductance, a floating negative impedance converter and an instrumentation amplifier. © 1994 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
