Practical No. 13 : Simulate/Test Current to Voltage Converter Circuit using EDA Tool

I Practical Significance:
In electronics, current and voltage are key players. While voltage measurement is common, current
measurement can be a challenge. Current to voltage converters (I to V converters) bridge this gap. These
circuits take a current input and convert it to a proportional voltage output, allowing us to use voltage
measuring instruments for indirect current measurement. Let's explore their workings, pros, cons, and
applications.

VI Minimum Theoretical Background


A current to voltage converter (I to V converter) is an electronic circuit that takes current as its input and
produces a voltage as its output. The output voltage is proportional to the input current. These converters are
important because many measuring instruments can only measure voltage, and a current to voltage converter
allows you to use these instruments to measure current.

Current to Voltage Converter :
Current to voltage converters are a vital electronic circuit for situations where you need to measure current
with a device that only accepts voltage input. They come in two main varieties: simple resistor converters and
operational amplifier (op-amp) converters. While the resistor converter is easier to design, it can be affected by
the measuring instrument's input impedance. Op-amp converters offer more precise control and higher gain
but require additional components. Regardless of the type, current to voltage converters play a crucial role in
various applications, including sensor interfaces, industrial process control, and audio equipment.

Working principle :
The working principle of a current to voltage converter is based on Ohm's law, which states that the voltage
across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and the resistance of the
conductor.

Working :

• In a simple resistor converter, the current flows through the resistor, and the voltage drop across the
resistor is measured by the measuring instrument. The value of the resistor determines the gain of the
converter (the proportionality constant between the input current and the output voltage).

• In an op-amp converter, the current flows through a feedback resistor connected to the inverting input
of the op-amp. The op-amp amplifies the voltage difference between its inverting and non-inverting
inputs (which is usually set to ground). The gain of the converter is determined by the value of the
feedback resistor.

Advantages :
• Allows you to use voltage measuring instruments to measure current.
• Can be used to amplify small currents.
• Relatively simple to design and build (especially the resistor converter).

Disadvantages :

• The accuracy of a simple resistor converter can be affected by the input impedance of the
measuring instrument.
• Op-amp converters require additional components and can be more complex to design.

Applications :

• Sensor interfaces: Many sensors produce an output current that is proportional to the
quantity being measured (e.g., photodiodes, pressure sensors). A current to voltage
converter can be used to convert the sensor's output current into a voltage that can be easily
measured and processed by a data acquisition system.

• Industrial process control: Current to voltage converters are used in industrial process
control applications to monitor and control currents in machinery and equipment.

• Audio equipment: Some audio equipment uses current to voltage converters to convert the
low-level currents from microphones or pickups into voltages that can be amplified and
processed.
