If C2's value is made too low, the integrator output voltage can exceed its linear output swing, resulting in a nonlinear response. Using C2 values larger than shown in Figure 2 is acceptable. Figure 1 shows the basic connection diagram for frequencyto-voltage conversion. R1 sets the input voltage range. For a 10V full-scale input, a 40k input resistor is recommended. Other input voltage ranges can be achieved by changing the value of R1. V FS R1 = (1) 0.25mA Accuracy or temperature stability of C2 is not critical because its value does not directly affect the output frequency. For best linearity, however, C2 should have low leakage and low dielectric absorption. Polycarbonate and other film capacitors are generally excellent. Many ceramic types are adequate, but some low-voltage ceramic capacitor types may degrade nonlinearity. Electrolytic types are not recommended. R1 should be a metal film type for good stability. Manufacturing tolerances can produce approximately 10% variation in output frequency. Full-scale output frequency can be trimmed by adjusting the value of R1--see Figure 3. The full-scale output frequency is determined by C1. Values shown in Figure 1 are for a full-scale output frequency of 10kHz. Values for other full-scale frequencies can be read from Figure 2. Any variation in C1--tolerance, temperature drift, aging--directly affect the output frequency. Ceramic NPO or silver-mica types are a good choice. FREQUENCY OUTPUT PIN The frequency output terminal is an open-collector logic output. A pull-up resistor is usually connected to a 5V logic supply to create standard logic-level pulses. It can, however, be connected to any power supply up to +VCC. Output pulses have a constant duration and positive-going during the oneshot period. Current flowing in the open-collector output transistor returns through the Common terminal. This terminal should be connected to logic ground. For full-scale frequencies above 200kHz, use larger capacitor values as indicated in Figure 2, with R1 = 20k. The value of the integrating capacitor, C2, does not directly influence the output frequency, but its value must be chosen within certain bounds. Values chosen from Figure 2 produce fO VINT Pull-Up Voltage 0V VPU +VCC +15V C2 10nF film +5V 0.1F VINT RPU 4.7k R1 40k fOUT VIN 0 to 10kHz One-Shot 0 to 10V VFC32 0.1F Pinout shown is for DIP or SOIC packages.

Voltage-to-Frequency Converter Circuit. 5 VFC32 VPU 8mA RPU FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERSION PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Figure 4 shows the VFC32 connected as a frequency-tovoltage converter. The capacitive-coupled input network C3, R6 and R7 allow standard 5V logic levels to trigger the comparator input. The comparator triggers the one-shot on the falling edge of the frequency input pulses. Threshold voltage of the comparator is approximately -0.7V. For frequency input waveforms less than 5V logic levels, the R6/R7 voltage divider can be adjusted to a lower voltage to assure that the comparator is triggered. The VFC32 operates on a principle of charge balance. The signal input current is equal to VIN/R1. This current is integrated by input op amp and C2, producing a downward ramping integrator output voltage. When the integrator output ramps to the threshold of the comparator, the one-shot is triggered. The 1mA reference current is switched to the integrator input during the one-shot period, causing the integrator output ramp upward. After the one-shot period, the integrator again ramps downward. The value of C1 is chosen from Figure 2 according to the full-scale input frequency. C2 smooths the output voltage waveform. Larger values of C2 reduce the ripple in the output voltage. Smaller values of C2 allow the output voltage to settle faster in response to a change in input frequency. Resistor R1 can be trimmed to achieve the desired output voltage at the full-scale input frequency. The oscillation process forces a long-term balance of charge (or average current) between the input signal current and the reference current. The equation for charge balance is: I IN = I R(AVERAGE) (2) V IN = f O t OS (1mA) R1 (3) 0.1F Where: fO is the output frequency tOS is the one-shot period, equal to tOS = 7500 C1 (Farads) C2 Capacitor Value 10nF 1nF 33,000pF C1 = - 30pF fFS (kHz) The values suggested for R1 and C1 are chosen to produce a 25% duty cycle at full-scale frequency output. For full-scale frequencies above 200kHz, the recommended values produce a 50% duty cycle.
