I have a very small AC signal coming off of a Current Transformer. I get 0 to 0.333VAC from the Current Transformer output (which relates to 0 to 50 Amps detected on the input coil).
I need to convert the AC signal to DC to run it into a PIC for Analog to Digital Conversion. I haven't found a straight-forward circuit/explanation to do this so I'm looking for some more suggestions.
Ideally I would like to get the 0-0.333vac into a 0-3vdc range for a full-range Analog-to-Digital conversion with a PIC16F690 running at 3vdc.
Maybe someone has a way to get a PIC or other A2D converter to be able to read the AC voltage directly without converting to DC first?
Any suggestions or recommendations?
