An improved isolated analog voltage sensing circuit which has isolated windings (102A, 102B) of a transformer (102). Sensor means (106, 256) sense the input voltage and apply this to the input winding (102A) of the transformer. A capacitor (116) is connected to the output winding (102B) of the transformer via switching means (110), so coupling the capacitor to the input voltage. An oscillating clock signal (122) controls switching means (110) to repeatedly connect and disconnect the capacitor to the output winding, whereby the capacitor will charge or discharge during the period that the switching means are conductive so that the voltage of the charge on the capacitor progressively moves at each cycle of the clock means towards a figure matching the input voltage sensed by the sensing means, the output voltage of the capacitor therefore providing a voltage which follows the input voltage but is isolated therefrom. |
