Abstract
This paper presents a simple method based on commercially available operation amplifiers (Opamps) for realizing the square-rooting voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC). The realization of square-root function is provided through the use of the opamp supply-current sensing, which utilizes an inherent quadratic characteristic of the opamp class-AB output state. Experimental results verifying the performances of the proposed square-rooting VFC are included.
