Hi,

200pF and 82 ohm resistor gives me approximately 9 Mhz frequency and
its a high pass filter. SO, does it mean that filter will pass all the
frequncies less than 9MHz.


Thanks
John

Stop snipping content and look at my drawing.

Hi,

I looked at your drawing and also simulated in pspice. Why did you go
for the High pass filter? I tried 220pF and 7.6KOhm. Is HPF more
accurate than LPF?

The positive peak voltage is + 1 volts and negative peak voltage is -
1 volts. So, 2 volts peak to peak.

I do not know how accurate should be the measured voltage. It would be
desirable to have it as little as possible.

when said and done, I will read the voltage into the ADC and read the
numbers and try to monitor the voltage across the resistor.

Thanks

John

Why did you try 7.6K Ohm when I said 82 Ohms?

It's a differentiator, so you place it much higher in frequency than
the signal.

Doesn't matter for differentiator. We're looking for sign change
(slope, at the input peak) with the comparator.

You said you wanted a transition... as you drew it.

Do you want the peak voltage?

What is it you want?

Erm, in my mind, a microcontroller is smaller, like a PIC chip,
I really do have difficulty realising the ARMs and other 32bit
controllers are about as cheap and have so much greater power :)

But then I time-travel in a sense from early '90s, returning to
electronics after a long break. And, picking up where I left off,
in a sense, by using the PIC chips. That'll do for this year,
for me.
