| 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
It's a little suspicious that he uses such antique parts, too--c'mon, a CA3140? Really? Ten points for the person who finds the original publication of that circuit.
Cheers

Of course it's not a bad idea... just not novel. And not even a comment that it's a twist on an old classic method.
Worse, the author probably doesn't even know :-( ...Jim Thompson

The editors don't care. As Lasse pointed out, it filled the space, so the editors are happy. ...Jim Thompson

Linearity is a problem in dual-slope, from capacitor DI.
The EDN circuit looks flakey to me; it has a hangup state. I suspect it's not very temperature stable either.

Not sure it's a reinvention of a dual slope converter, but someone needs to tell Dmitryov [sp?] that measuring his pulse with 0.02% accuracy does not mean he has measured the analog voltage with the same accuracy.
So what's a good low DI cap? New ceramics are low loss. (never looked at step response.)
Yeah it would have been nice if it talked about circuit pitfalls. I did this switched current oscillator, there was always some charge inject ion from the switch... (I also screwed up the voltage reference.)
I read this edn thing today (doing a summing amp with both +/- inputs) that referenced a '76(?) Analog dialogue by D. Sheingold. There was a pdf on A D website, but hardly readable...Of course these days it seems silly not to just add a few more opamps. (or a uC if that's your bent.)
I feel like washing my hands after handling the schematic.

Hi John, I think I saw that posted before. How does it cure the capacitor DI? (And what's DI? When I first read JL's post I read it as DA...dielectric absorption... now I'm doubly confused.) Is it important that you use two different 'flavors' of schmitt trigger? Could you use one schmitt and then just an inverter with minimal hysteresis?
