发明名称 Pulse width modulator in an electronic watt-hour meter with up and down integration for error correction
摘要 Apparatus for producing a pulse width modulated signal in response to a current signal related to a current or a voltage in an electric system. A series resistor in series with a signal voltage proportional to the current or voltage in the system converts the signal voltage into the current signal. An integrator includes an operational amplifier with an integrating capacitor connected between an output and a first input thereof, producing a virtual ground at an input of the integrator. The series resistor is connected to the virtual ground. A second operational amplifier has a first input receiving an output of the integrator. A first bi-polarity trigger receives the output of the second operational amplifier. A resistive voltage divider is connected to an output of the first bi-polarity trigger, and a junction of the resistive voltage divider is connected to a second input of the second operational amplifier, so that a positive and a negative voltage at the junction provides first and second threshold voltages for the second operational amplifier. A second inverting bi-polarity trigger receives the output of the first bi-polarity trigger. A resistor receives an output voltage from the second inverting bi-polarity trigger and converts the output voltage to a second current signal. The second current signal is connected to the virtual ground so that an integration rate in the integrator is increased or decreased in proportion to an amplitude of the first current signal and a pulse width modulated signal is produced.
