:''An integrator may also be a systems integrator.'' An integrator is a component whose output signal is the time integral of its input signal. It is the continuous analog of a counter, cumulating the input into an output. Integration is an important part of many engineering and scientific calculations. Mechanical integrators are used in such applications as metering of water flow or electric power. Electronic analog integrators were the basis of analog computers. See also Practical Integrator. ==In signal processing circuits== :''See also Integrator at op amp applications'' An electronic integrator is a form of first-order low-pass filter, which can be performed in the continuous-time (analog) domain or approximated (simulated) in the discrete-time (digital) domain. An integrator will have a low pass filtering effect but when given an offset it will accumulate a value building it until it reaches a limit of the system or overflows. A ''voltage integrator'' is an electronic device performing a time integration of an electric voltage, thus measuring the total volt-second product. A ''current integrator'' is an electronic device performing a time integration of an electric current, thus measuring a total electric charge. A charge amplifier is an example of current integrator. A current integrator is also used to measure the electric charge on a Faraday cup in a residual gas analyzer to measure partial pressures of gasses in a vacuum. Another application of current integration is in ion beam deposition, where the measured charge directly corresponds to the number of ions deposited on a substrate, assuming the charge state of the ions is known. The two current-carrying electrical leads must to be connected to the ion source and the substrate, closing the electric circuit which in part is given by the ion beam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「integrator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
