This circuit will deliver a number of pulses which is directly proportional to a negative input voltage. The conversion takes place in two stages. With Sl in position 1 capacitor Cl will charge until the voltage across it is Va + V f + V x, where Va is the voltage at the slider of P 1, V f is the forward voltage of D 1 and V x is the (negative) input voltage.
