The following three types are representative pulse converters:
- Pulse Isolator: The pulse signal version of an isolator (insulating converter).
- Pulse/Analog Converter: Converts pulse signals into analog signals.
- Analog/Pulse Converter: Converts analog signals into pulse signals.
A pulse isolator serves functions such as signal conversion and isolation, just like a standard isolator.
There are also derivative types like pulse divider and pulse rate divider. A pulse divider splits fast pulses, assigns weight to pulses, etc. A pulse rate divider multiplies the pulse rate for output.
A pulse/analog converter converts pulse signals—such as those from flow meters—into analog signals, while an analog/pulse converter does the reverse.
There are also “ultra-low-speed pulse converters” for flow meters with slow flow rates.
