Non-linear converter to linearize the non-linear output of measurement devices
Abstract:
A non-linear converter comprising a non-linear voltage divider having a plurality of resistors representing a non-linear transfer function, an analog multiplexer having analog multiplexer inputs coupled to the non-linear voltage divider and configured to output an analog multiplexer output, the analog multiplexer chooses one of the plurality of resistors based on a logic signal and the non-linear transfer function, an analog comparator having an analog comparator first input configured to receive an analog input voltage, an analog comparator second input configured to receive the analog multiplexer output and the analog comparator configured to output a comparator voltage output and a logic loop coupled to the analog comparator and configured to receive the comparator voltage output and configured to output the logic signal, wherein the logic signal represents a linearized digital word.
