Talk:Voltage-to-current converter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transconductance amplifier is a voltage to current converter.

Well, you might now insert this assertion into the article. By the way, add your signature at the end of the talk. Regards, Circuit-fantasist 11:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scenario for the article

Hi everybody! I begin creating this story about voltage-to-current converter following the scenario below. I draw inspiration to do that from the lessons with my students at the university. Circuit-fantasist 11:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The basic idea behind a voltage-to-current converter

[edit] Non-electrical domain: Pressure causes flow

[edit] Electrical domain: Voltage causes current

Building the circuit.

Visualizing the circuit operation by using: voltage bars and current loops, superimposed IV curves, transfer characteristic, voltage diagram.

[edit] Imperfections

[edit] Applications

[edit] V-to-I converter acting as an output device

Voltage-controlled current source.

[edit] V-to-I converter acting as an input device

Compound voltmeter.

Compound passive converters: RC passive integrator, RL passive differentiator, RD passive logarithmic converter

Transistor base resistor.

Op-amp inverting amplifier (an input part).
