Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain A/D conversion of a current value with simple constitution by utilizing the switching of a photocoupler and a transistor (TR). CONSTITUTION:A current at output side becomes beta.If to an input current If from an object X to be measured, where beta is the current transfer rate of a photocoupler IC. In bringing an output Pi(i=1-n) of a control section CONT to H level, a TRi is turned on. A potential Vi of the Oi input of a gate G is expressed as E-beta.If.Ri, where E is a power supply voltage (5V in this example). In setting R1<R2<R3...<Rn, the relation of V1>V2>V3...>Vn is obtained. The gate G is an OR gate, and when any input voltage exceeds a threshold value, an output signal is obtained, and it is known that a current If to be measured exists between (i) and (i-1) by obtaining the (i) where an output VOUT of the gate G is inverted to L level, thereby attaining the digital conversion of the If.
