Descripción
Sumario:Embedded instrumentation needs analog sensors relating to a physical measurement that must be converted to a digital signal (ADC). Most microprocessors feature built-in AD converters, but there are some that do not. In this work, we analyze a digital sensor based on a timer circuit. The timer circuit functions as a signal conditioner using resistive and / or capacitive elements, where an element becomes the sensor, causing a pulse proportional to a physical quantity to be measured. The sampling signal is sent, initiating the process. In order to check the performance of the circuit, some experiments were performed and the results showed that it is a very simple solution for an unavailability of an AD-Converter.
