T he AD7750 is a Product-to-Frequency Converter (PFC)
that can be configured for power measurement or voltage-to-
frequency conversion. T he part contains the equivalent of two
channels of A/D conversion, a multiplier, a digital-to-frequency
converter, a reference and other conditioning circuitry. Channel 1
has a differential gain amplifier with selectable gains of 1 or 16.
Channel 2 has a differential gain amplifier with a gain of 2. A high-
pass filter can be switched into the signal path of Channel 1 to
remove any offsets.
1. T he part can be configured for power measurement or
voltage-to-frequency conversion.
2. T he output format and maximum frequency is selectable;
from low-frequency outputs, suitable for driving stepper
motors, to higher frequency outputs, suitable for calibration
and test.
3. T here is a reverse polarity indicator output that becomes
active when negative power is detected in the Magnitude
Only Mode.
T he outputs F1 and F2 are fixed width (275 ms) logic low going
pulse streams for output frequencies less than 1.8 Hz. A range
of output frequencies is available and the frequency of F1 and
F2 is proportional to the product of V1 and V2. T hese outputs
are suitable for directly driving an electromechanical pulse
counter or full stepping two phase stepper motors. T he outputs
can be configured to represent the result of four-quadrant multi-
plication (i.e., Sign and Magnitude) or to represent the result of
a two quadrant multiplication (i.e., Magnitude Only). In this
configuration the outputs are always positive regardless of the
input polarities. In addition, there is a reverse polarity indicator
output that becomes active when negative power is detected in
the Magnitude Only Mode, see Reverse Polarity Indicator.
4. Error as a % of reading over a dynamic range of 1000:1 is
< 0.3%.
T he error as a percent (%) of reading is less than 0.3% over a
dynamic range of 1000:1.
T he AD7750 is fabricated on 0.6 µ CMOS technology; a pro-
cess that combines low power and low cost.
