Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting an electrical signal into a proportional frequency is disclosed. Modulation of the output frequency resulting from polarity switching cycles having half-periods of unequal duration and capacitor voltages which might be non-zero at the time of polarity reversal are substantially avoided. This permits faster and more precise calibration.
