HI boys,
please, can you help me?
To this day I use optocoupler PC817 to interfacing atmel or pic input with other devices - switches, relay contacts, etc.
Now I make redesign of pcb and need smaller size. pc817 is very big. I need some another circuit such as transistor, zener diodes etc. Connection will be same - switch NO NC, or contact of

how do we go about interfacing an analog input into the microcontroller ADC pin?
- current limiting? (depending on the max current allowed at the pin)
- capacitors to filter out noise?
- i've seen a circuit that before going into the pin, the analog signal goes through a resistor (quite small about 22 Ohm). THe resistor is said to provide "dampi

Your post says that this is a "Sensor interfacing circuit" but I actually don't know where is your sensor !!!
If I'm correct then I guess the sinusoidal function generator represents the sensor, that's why you mentioned it's voltage changes from 0.6V to 40V.
The only thing I couldn't figure is how may the sensor change with a frequency of 100Hz?

Hi Izua
You would definetly need buffer ICs for the interfacing. The LPT port cannot give current more than a few milli amps. So it cannot drive the 7seg leds direct.
You can connect the bcd to 7seg converter( 4 pins) and use a 3 to 8 demux or 4 to 16 demux to do the scanning of the 7 segments.
in any case the 8 digital outputs can be comfort
