Analog to Digital Converter Method

 

The measuring speed is fast, and the resolution is high because of sampling the input signal on ADC and then measuring the changes by successive approximation ADC like figure 1. Successive approximation ADC which converts from the highest order bit toward the lower order bit has fast convert time and simple circuit.

Dual slope integration method

 

Like (Figure 2-1) if SW1 is ON, input voltage Ex is integrated by a certain time Ts. After finish integral of input voltage Ex, SW2 is ON, then when connected to reference voltage Es, it will be integral in the direction of zero voltage. (Based on Es, Ex becomes reverse polarity.) When integral operating becomes zero, comparator stops integral, and this integral time is Tx.

The integral times of Successive approximation Es and input voltage Ex are fixed. So, if Tx value is measured with the counter, the digital value proportional to the input can be obtained.

Normal Mode Rejection Ratio (NMR)

 

NMR is the rate of ripple error caused by AC voltage when the AC voltage of commercial power frequency is mixed at the measuring input terminal during measuring DC voltage. To remove this error, the rate of removal is changed depending on the method of the A/D change.

At the integral method like (Figure 3), the half-cycle of + and the half cycle of - are canceling each other, so mixed noise can be removed effectively, and if the integral time of input is integral multiples of power frequency, it can get infinite noise to remove ratio theoretically. And if the filter method is inserted in the input circuit, NMR can be big, but it does not need to do because the response to reply to the change of signal voltage is worse.
