Voltage to Frequency Converter ICL8038

This was a small circuit made for driving an Impact counter. The heart being ICL8038. It must have been a Motor driving a Conveyor, the motor has a feedback attachment called Tachogenerator.

Only part of the circuit is shown here. See the image of product here Tacho Counter. The configuration is derived from the Application Notes [...]

Simple Sample and Hold with CD4066

A sample and hold is like an analog memory. If The digital control A is low 4066 switch is open, and when A is high switch is closed. U2B is a buffer so as to ensure quick charging of C1 thru 4066 on resistance of 100E.

U2A is a FET input opamp buffer which does [...]

Sample and Hold with Standby CD4053

A, B, and C are the Digital Control for x, y and z input and output pairs.The voltage at Vinx is stored in C1 when A goes high, when A is low the voltage stored in C1 is read by buffer U2A.

The stby or standby input should be low when sample and hold is [...]
