hi,
I'm looking for the simplest way of converting the output of an optical microsensor to a voltage. The sensor is used to determine the rotation speed of a small shaft by means of a disc with small slits... it's basically a square-wave output with a 'low' of 600mV and a 'high' of 1.8V... as the shaft rotates faster, the frequency simply increases...
so what i need is basically a way to convert this change in frequency to a change in voltage...
if anyone can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it greatly
thanks!
Frequency-to-voltage and voltage-to-frequency chips exist if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking for a signal that indicates for a particular frequency, then an LM567 tone decoder will likely be the best option.Hi, I am looking to the same circuit as I need to convert frequency to voltage , a 12V pulse input to 12-24 V range output according to the frequency .
what is your solution to your question, did you make the circuit? share please .
