VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY/FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGECONVERTERS
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Voltage-to-Frequency
The TC9400/TC9401/TC9402 are low-cost voltage-to-
frequency (V/F) converters utilizing low power CMOS
technology. The converters accept a variable analog input
signal and generate an output pulse train whose frequency
is linearly proportional to the input voltage.
The devices can also be used as highly-accurate fre-
quency-to-voltage (F/V) converters, accepting virtually any
input frequency waveform and providing a linearly-propor-
tional voltage output.
■ Choice of Guaranteed Linearity:
TC9401.........................................................0.01%
TC9400.........................................................0.05%
TC9402.........................................................0.25%
■ DC to 100 kHz (F/V) or 1Hz to 100kHz (V/F)
■ Low Power Dissipation .......................... 27mW Typ
■ Single/Dual Supply Operation .................................
+ 8V to + 15V or ± 4V to ± 7.5V
A complete V/F or F/V system only requires the addition
of two capacitors, three resistors, and reference voltage.
■ Gain Temperature Stability .......... ± 25 ppm/°C Typ
■ Programmable Scale Factor
