I am looking at a circuit of my 'own' design:

schematic

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab

Assuming that R1C1>>1/fsw1 we get:

When the switch is open:

\$ I_{r1} = I_{c1}\rightarrow \frac{V_{in}}{R_{1}}=-C_{1}V_{o}/(1-D)T \$

and when the switch is closed:

\$ I_{c1}=C_{1}V_{o}/DT\$

so we get that \$ V_{in}/R_{1} = C_{1}V_{o}/DT \rightarrow V_{o}/V_{in} = DT/R_{1}C_{1}\rightarrow \frac{V_{o}}{V_{in}} = \frac{D}{R_{1}C_{1}f_{sw}}\$

and because fsw>>R1C1 that means the equation becomes:\$ \frac{V_{o}}{V_{in}} = \frac{D}{f_{sw}} \$ so isnt this a direct frequency to DC voltage converter(or the reverse of a voltage controlled oscillator) or am I wrong?

Edit:

The voltage in the output may be DC but it will vary how do I calculate the ripple of Vout?

And how do I select a opamp for this type of application.What bandwidth should my opamp have?

  • \$\begingroup\$ You have an integrator with a reset switch, what is the question? when the swich is closed the current in C1 is briefly infinite and subsequently zero. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 28 at 0:06

  • \$\begingroup\$ @periblepsis Vo I think would be -D/fsw no? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 28 at 0:09
  • \$\begingroup\$ @JasenСлаваУкраїні it isnt this because the capacitor is working in its switching state ,not its steady state.Any electronics element which its IV curve depend on \$ dV/dt \$ or \$ \int_{}V(t)dt \$ can be working on its switching or steady state no? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 28 at 0:12
  • \$\begingroup\$ @RootGroves When SW1 is closed this instantly discharges C1, so \$V_{OUT}=0\$, regardless of anything else. Your second equation with SW1 closed is both wrong and moot. Did you intend for C1 to discharge over a longer duration, say \$D\$ seconds? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 28 at 2:55

You have an integrator with a reset switch, when the switch is closed the output will be 0V When it opens you will get a linear ramp at a rate of \$ - { V1\over R_1.C_1 }{V/s}\$

Assuming 50% duty cycle is garanteed if you measure that on an average reading DC voltmeter and you'll see. \$-{ V1\over 4R_1.C_1.F_{SW} }{V}\$

What op-amp - you want a slew rate significantly faster than the ramp and a gain-bandwidth well above the switching frequency output capability should include ground ans as far negative ( opposite of V1) as needed. input capability should include ground.

I would consider using a negative source for V1 and and a LM351 or similar with ground as the negative op-amp power, if the other numbers check out.
