What are the advantages of dual-slope integrating Analog Processors?
The integrating technique inherently filters out external noise signals, especially high voltage spikes and other power line 50/60 cycle related noise. Dual slope integrating A/D converters also offer several key performance advantages: – Repeatable results in the presence of high frequency noise (relative to the measurement period). – Use of time to quantize the answer, resulting in extremely small non-linearity errors and no possibility of missing output codes – Very good rejection of frequencies whose periods are an integral multiple of the measurement period .- Smaller footprint and more cost-effective.
