Successive Approximation Type DVM

Successive Approximation Type DVM: The Successive Approximation Type DVM principle can be easily understood using a simple example; the determination of the weight of an object. By using a balance and placing the object on one side and an approximate weight on the other side, the weight of the object is determined. If the weight

Dual Slope Integrating Type DVM

Dual Slope Integrating Type DVM (Voltage to Time Conversion): Dual Slope Integrating Type DVM – In ramp techniques, superimposed noise can cause large errors. In the dual ramp technique, noise is averaged out by the positive and negative ramps using the process of integration. Principle of Dual Slope Type DVM: As illustrated in Fig. 5.3,
