ABSTRACT:
A single stage voltage to current conversion switching system which includes an input terminal for receiving an input signal voltage to be converted to a current, an output terminal, and a positive channel having a first operational amplifier with a reference input and a summing input. The summing input receives the input voltage signal and introduces a first offset voltage to the input signal voltage. There is a first semiconductor circuit connected to the output of the first operational amplifier to provide a first offset current signal. There are first switching means interconnected with the first semiconductor circuit to deliver the first offset current signal to the output terminal. There is a negative channel having a second operational amplifier with a reference and a summing input that receives the input voltage signal and introduces a second offset signal to the input signal voltage. There is a second semiconductor circuit connected to the output of the second operational amplifier to provide a second offset current signal equal in amplitude and opposite in polarity to the first offset current signal. There are second switching means interconnected with the second semiconductor circuit to deliver the second offset current signal to the output terminal and means for actuating the first and second switching means simultaneously to open and close and periodically combine the first and second offset current signals to form an output current with temperature drift and switching current injection compensation.
