Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for monitoring the transfer of electric charge and determining whether a threshold amount of electric charge has been transferred. Aspects of the present disclosure may be performed by a fire control system, and the fire control system may be implemented in a gun. The fire control system may generate an integrated voltage using an integrator to integrate a current induced voltage that is present across a resistor, compare the integrated voltage against a reference voltage to determine whether the integrated voltage exceeds the reference voltage, and generate an output voltage that indicates whether the integrated voltage exceeds the reference voltage. The output voltage may be generated based on comparing the integrated voltage against the reference voltage using a comparator circuit, and the reference voltage may correspond to a threshold amount of electric charge.
