Solution

The integrating type analog to digital converter is the Dual Slope ADC.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. In the first phase of operation, the Dual Slope ADC applies the analog input voltage to the integrator and allows it to ramp for a fixed time period (the "run-up" period).

  2. After the run-up period, the ADC switches the integrator input to a known reference voltage of opposite polarity.

  3. The integrator output will then ramp down. The time it takes for the output to reach zero is measured (the "run-down" period).

  4. The run-down time measurement is proportional to the magnitude of the input voltage and is used to scale the digital output of the ADC.

  5. The longer it takes for the integrator output to reach zero, the higher the input voltage.

  6. The digital output is then generated as a proportion of the run-down time to the run-up time.

This type of ADC is known as a "dual slope" because it involves a positive slope (the run-up) and a negative slope (the run-down).
