Abstract: The value of an unknown voltage is measured by applying a time-varying current from a reference voltage source through a resistor to a capacitor thereby to increase the voltage across the capacitor as a function of time, measuring the time Tr required for the voltage across the capacitor to reach a selected reference voltage when current from the reference voltage source is applied to the capacitor, restoring the voltage across the capacitor to its initial state, applying a time varying current from an unknown voltage source through a resistor to the capacitor thereby to increase the voltage across the capacitor as a function of time, measuring the time Tb required for the voltage across the capacitor to reach a selected reference voltage when current from the unknown voltage source is applied to the capacitor and calculating the unknown voltage from the times Tr and Tb.
