The AD7741/AD7742 are a new generation of synchronous
voltage-to-frequency converters (VFCs). The AD7741 is a
single-channel version in an 8-lead package (SOIC/DIP) and the
AD7742 is a multichannel version in a 16-lead package (SOIC/
DIP). No user trimming is required to achieve the specified
performance.

The AD7741 has a single buffered input whereas the AD7742
has four buffered inputs that may be configured as two fully-
differential inputs or three pseudo-differential inputs. Both parts
include an on-chip +2.5 V bandgap reference that provides the
user with the option of using this internal reference or an exter-
nal reference.
The AD7741 has a single-ended voltage input range from 0 V
to REFIN. The AD7742 has a differential voltage input range
from –VREF to +VREF. Both parts operate from a single +5 V
supply consuming typically 6 mA, and also contain a power-
down feature that reduces the current consumption to less than
35 µA.
