Typical Applications (Continued)
condition will usually apply under start-up conditions or in the
case of an overload voltage at signal input. It should be
noted that during this sort of overload, the output frequency
will be 0; as soon as the signal is restored to the working
range, the output frequency will be resumed.
The output driver transistor acts to saturate pin 3 with an ON
resistance of about 50
. In case of overvoltage, the output
current is actively limited to less than 50 mA.
The voltage at pin 2 is regulated at 1.90 V
DC for all values of
i between 10 A to 500 A. It can be used as a voltage ref-
erence for other components, but care must be taken to en-
sure that current is not taken from it which could reduce the
accuracy of the converter.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF BASIC VOLTAGE-
TO-FREQUENCY CONVERTER (
Figure 1)
The simple stand-alone V-to-F converter shown in
Figure 1
includes all the basic circuitry of
Figure 3 plus a few compo-
nents for improved performance.
A resistor, R
IN=100 k±10%, has been added in the path to
pin 7, so that the bias current at pin 7 (80 nA typical) will
cancel the effect of the bias current at pin 6 and help provide
minimum frequency offset.
The resistance R
S at pin 2 is made up of a 12 k fixed resis-
tor plusa5k
(cermet, preferably) gain adjust rheostat. The
function of this adjustment is to trim out the gain tolerance of
the LM231/331, and the tolerance of R
t,RL and Ct.
For best results, all the components should be stable
low-temperature-coefficient components, such as metal-film
resistors. The capacitor should have low dielectric absorp-
tion; depending on the temperature characteristics desired,
NPO ceramic, polystyrene, Teflon or polypropylene are best
suited.
A capacitor C
IN is added from pin 7 to ground to act as a filter
for V
IN. A value of 0.01 F to 0.1 F will be adequate in most
cases; however, in cases where better filtering is required, a
1 F capacitor can be used. When the RC time constants are
matched at pin 6 and pin 7, a voltage step at V
IN will cause
a step change in f
OUT.IfCIN is much less than CL, a step at
V
IN may cause fOUT to stop momentarily.
A47
resistor, in series with the 1 F C
L, is added to give
hysteresis effect which helps the input comparator provide
the excellent linearity (0.03% typical).
DETAIL OF OPERATION OF PRECISION V-TO-F
CONVERTER (
Figure 4)
In this circuit, integration is performed by using a conven-
tional operational amplifier and feedback capacitor, C
F.
When the integrator’s output crosses the nominal threshold
level at pin 6 of the LM231/331, the timing cycle is initiated.
The average current fed into the op amp’s summing point
(pin 2) is i x (1.1 R
tCt) x f which is perfectly balanced with
V
IN/RIN. In this circuit, the voltage offset of the LM231/331
input comparator does not affect the offset or accuracy of the
V-to-F converter as it does in the stand-alone V-to-F con-
verter; nor does the LM231/331 bias current or offset cur-
rent. Instead, the offset voltage and offset current of the op-
erational amplifier are the only limits on how small the signal
can be accurately converted. Since op amps with voltage off-
set well below 1 mV and offset currents well below 2 nA are
available at low cost, this circuit is recommended for best ac-
curacy for small signals. This circuit also responds immedi-
ately to any change of input signal (which a stand-alone cir-
cuit does not) so that the output frequency will be an
accurate representation of V
IN, as quickly as 2 output pulses’
spacing can be measured.
In the precision mode, excellent linearity is obtained be-
cause the current source (pin 1) is always at ground potential
and that voltage does not vary with V
IN or fOUT. (In the
stand-alone V-to-F converter, a major cause of non-linearity
is the output impedance at pin 1 which causes i to change as
a function of V
IN).
The circuit of
Figure 5 operates in the same way as Figure 4,
but with the necessary changes for high speed operation.
