Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting an input frequency to a voltage signal using a passive band-pass filter. The method includes providing an input signal having a specified frequency and amplitude to a passive band-pass filter. The method also includes obtaining an attenuated signal corresponding to the input signal from the passive band-pass filter. The method also includes providing the attenuated signal to a peak detector to obtain a direct current (DC) signal having an output voltage proportional to the specified frequency. The passive circuitry includes a first circuit to receive an input signal having a specified frequency and amplitude, and output an attenuated signal corresponding to the input signal. The passive circuitry also includes a second circuit to convert the attenuated signal to a DC signal having an output voltage proportional to the specified frequency.
