Hi,
If your input signal is a pulse and you know it's peak voltage and it's frequency is below the filtering rate of your DMM, then you can measure the duty cycle by your volt meter.

Due to above values and asume that VDC...
take a look at: Art of electronics by paul horowitz
it's a really nice book and also contains some helpful informations about grounding considerations and low noise devices.
you can also use S-R latchs which are very inexpensive and 6 of them are integrated in a single chip and also most of the semiconductor making factories have these chips.
S-R latchs are great for debouncing a push button!
Hi
National Semiconductor has a very powerfull Microcontroller with A/D, D/A, PWM, CTCs, SPI, UART and ... peripherals (Sorry i forgot it's number!).
you can also use ATmega Microcontrollers of Atmel corporation.
and at last take a look at Microchip, they have very nice and high efficient MCUs.
Most TV remote controllers send a conventional number of pulses to IR emitter diode in a known amount of time, to send a command to TV.
For exmaple to send ON command, you can send 10 pulses in 2 milliseconds!
Ofcourse these numbers vary on different types of remote controllers.
But, I didn't...
try Analog devices AD202, it can do, what exactly you want.
but the only problem is it's cost, it's a lil bit expensive.
the another way s using linear opto couplers such as CP Clare's LIA100, they send 2 or 3 samples of their ICs if you want.
I think HP no longer produces any semiconductor...
Hello liu93083,
Photodiode generates a small current proportional to amount of light which is directed at it's face!
This current is very small, usually in range of micro amperes, so if we want to show amount of light in a screen whether digitally or even analog then we have to first change...
hi buzzly
there are so many chips that measure the frequency directly
and you don't need to setup a microprocessor based circuit to measure frequency
here i introduce the most widely use frequency to voltage converter of the world!!!
it's also very low cost
national semiconductor's...
there is an IC that provides everything you want!
national semiconductor's LM3915:
The LM3915 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs, LCDs or vacuum fluorescent displays, providing a logarithmic 3 dB/step analog display. One pin changes the...
hi
use ULN2003 to drive relay from a digital circuit like a microcontroller or even you can use a single transistor.
you can see ULN2003's data sheet on www.ti.com
