A nonlinear characteristic curve of a frequency-voltage converter is approximated by summing the outputs of energized ones of a plurality of either voltage or current sources. The current sources are energized and de-energized in accordance with information contained in storage elements which may, for example, be parts of a shift register, or of an addressable storage. The breaks in the characteristic curve are achieved by changing the number of energized current sources or the current supplied by at least some of the sources at time intervals Ti=1/fi, where fi are the break frequencies and where time is measured starting with the leading edge of each pulse of the pulse frequence having the frequency fx which is to be converted to a voltage. Voltage-frequency converters can be created by connecting the frequency-voltage converter into the feedback path of a converter circuit receiving a voltage Ux and furnishing the frequency fx in response thereto. |
