Voltage to Frequency Converter

 

Voltage on the DC-DC converters are measured by using crystal controlled voltage-to-frequency converters.  The coupling is through 1mm plastic fibers, providing a high degree of isolation.  With another Observatory daisy-chained further out on the cable, the standoff voltage could reach 8kV, so we implemented a high-voltage safe system from the start.
