frequency to voltage converter

is it possible to build a frequency to voltage converting that runs off of 2 AA batteries.



fully charged, or flat?

What frequency range and output voltage range?

1400 - 3500 Hz and max output of 3 v

What current? I am sure you can find chips to do it. The cheapest way I can think of is to use a $2 micro to switch/pump/charge a large capacitor, based on the input (frequency) and output (voltage). You can think of the micro as a feedback controller.

Or fire a one-shot, HC123 maybe, and lowpass filter its output.

Actually, the batteries should be charged while measuring. :-)
