PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD652 synchronous voltage-to-frequency converter (SVFC) is a powerful building block for precision analog-to­digital conversion, offering typical nonlinearity of 0.002% (0.005% maximum) at a 100 kHz output frequency. The inher­ent monotonicity of the transfer function and wide range of clock frequencies allow the conversion time and resolution to be optimized for specific applications.
The AD652 uses a variation of the charge-balancing technique to perform the conversion function. The AD652 uses an external clock to define the full-scale output frequency, rather than relying on the stability of an external capacitor. The result is a more stable, more linear transfer function, with significant application benefits in both single- and multichannel systems.
Gain drift is minimized using a precision low drift reference and low TC, on-chip, thin-film scaling resistors. Furthermore, initial gain error is reduced to less than 0.5% by the use of laser­wafer-trimming.
The analog and digital sections of the AD652 have been designed to allow operation from a single-ended power source, simplifying its use with isolated power supplies.

The AD652 is available in five performance grades. The 20-lead PLCC-packaged JP and KP grades are specified for operation over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. The 16-lead CERDIP-packaged AQ and BQ grades are specified for operation over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. The AD652SQ is available for operation over the full
−55°C to +125°C extended temperature range.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. The use of an external clock to set the full-scale frequency
allows the AD652 to achieve linearity and stability far superior to other monolithic VFCs. By using the same clock to drive the AD652 and set the counting period (through a suitable divider), conversion accuracy is maintained independent of variations in clock frequency.
2. The AD652 synchronous VFC requires only one external
component (a noncritical integrator capacitor) for operation.
3. The AD652 includes a buffered, accurate 5 V reference.
4. The AD652’s clock input is TTL and CMOS compatible and
can also be driven by sources referred to the negative power supply. The flexible open-collector output stage provides sufficient current sinking capability for TTL and CMOS logic, as well as for optical couplers and pulse transformers. A capacitor-programmable one-shot is provided for selec­tion of optimum output pulse width for power reduction.
5. The AD652 can also be configured for use as a synchronous
F/V converter for isolated analog signal transmission.
6. The AD652 is available in versions compliant with
MILSTD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products Databook or current AD652/883B data sheet for detailed specifications.

ESD CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS

Gain Error
The gain of a voltage-to-frequency converter is the scale factor setting that provides the nominal conversion relationship, e.g., 1 MHz full scale. The gain error is the difference in slope between the actual and ideal transfer functions for the V-F converter.
Linearity Error
The linearity error of a V-F is the deviation of the actual transfer function from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the transfer function.
Gain Temperature Coefficient
The gain temperature coefficient is the rate of change in full­scale frequency as a function of the temperature from +25°C to

THEORY OF OPERATION

A synchronous VFC is similar to other voltage-to-frequency converters in that an integrator is used to perform a charge­balance of the input signal with an internal reference current. However, rather than using a one-shot as the primary timing element, which requires a high quality and low drift capacitor, a synchronous voltage-to-frequency converter (SVFC) uses an external clock. This allows the designer to determine the system stability and drift based upon the external clock selected. A crystal oscillator may also be used if desired.
The SVFC architecture provides other system advantages besides low drift. If the output frequency is measured by counting pulses gated to a signal that is derived from the clock, the clock stability is unimportant and the device simply performs as a voltage-controlled frequency divider, producing a high resolution A/D. If a large number of inputs must be monitored simultaneously in a system, the controlled timing relationship between the frequency output pulses and the user­supplied clock greatly simplifies this signal acquisition. Also, if the clock signal is provided by a VFC, the output frequency of the SVFC is proportional to the product of the two input voltages. Therefore, multiplication and A-to-D conversion on two signals are performed simultaneously.

Figure 3. PLCC Pin Configuration
Figure 4 shows the typical up-and-down ramp integrator output of a charge-balance VFC. After the integrator output has crossed the comparator threshold and the output of the AND gate has gone high, nothing happens until a negative edge of the clock comes along to transfer the information to the output of the D FLOP. At this point, the clock level is low, so the latch does not change state. When the clock returns high, the latch output goes high and drives the switch to reset the integrator; at the same time, the latch drives the AND gate to a low output state. On the very next negative edge of the clock, the low output state of the AND gate is transferred to the output of the D FLOP. When the clock returns high, the latch output goes low and drives the switch back into the Integrate mode. At the same time, the latch drives the AND gate to a mode where it truthfully relays the information presented to it by the comparator.

The pinouts of the AD652 SVFC are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. A block diagram of the device configured as an SVFC, along with various system waveforms, is shown in Figure 4.
Rev. C | Page 6 of 28
Because the reset pulses applied to the integrator are exactly one clock period long, the only place where drift can occur is in a variation of the symmetry of the switching speed with temperature.
Since each reset pulse is identical, the AD652 SVFC produces a very linear voltage-to-frequency transfer relation. Also, because all reset pulses are gated by the clock, there are no problems with dielectric absorption causing the duration of a reset pulse to be influenced by the length of time since the last reset.

Figure 4. Block Diagram and System Waveforms
Figure 4 shows that the period between output pulses is constrained to be an exact multiple of the clock period. Consider an input current of exactly one quarter the value of the reference current. In order to achieve a charge balance, the output frequency equals the clock frequency divided by four: one clock period for reset and three clock periods of integrate. This is shown in Figure 5. If the input current is increased by a very small amount, the output frequency should also increase by a very small amount. Initially, however, no output change is observed for a very small increase in the input current. The output frequency continues to run at one quarter of the clock, delivering an average of 250 µA to the summing junction. Since the input current is slightly larger than this, charge accumulates in the integrator and the sawtooth signal starts to drift down­ward. As the integrator sawtooth drifts down, the comparator threshold is crossed earlier and earlier in each successive cycle, until finally, a whole cycle is lost. When the cycle is lost, the integrate phase lasts for two periods of the clock instead of the usual three periods. Thus, among a long string of divide-by­fours, an occasional divide-by-three occurs; the average of the output frequency is very close to one quarter of the clock, but the instantaneous frequency can be very different.

Because of this, it is very difficult to observe the waveform on an oscilloscope. During all of this time, the signal at the output of the integrator is a sawtooth wave with an envelope that is also a sawtooth. See Figure 6.

Another way to view this is that the output is a frequency of approximately one-quarter of the clock that has been phase modulated. A constant frequency can be thought of as accumulating phase linearly with time at a rate equal to 2πf radians per second. Therefore, the average output frequency, which is slightly in excess of a quarter of the clock, requires phase accumulation at a certain rate. However, since the SVFC is running at exactly one-quarter of the clock, it does not accumulate enough phase (see Figure 7). When the difference between the required phase (average frequency) and the actual phase equals 2π, a step-in phase is taken where the deficit is made up instantaneously. The output frequency is then a steady carrier that has been phase modulated by a sawtooth signal (see Figure 7). The period of the sawtooth phase modulation is the time required to accumulate a 2π difference in phase between the required average frequency and one quarter of the clock frequency. The sawtooth phase modulation amplitude is 2π.

The result of this synchronism is that the rate at which data may be extracted from the series bit stream produced by the SVFC is limited. The output pulses are typically counted during a fixed gate interval and the result is interpreted as an average frequency. The resolution of such a measurement is determined by the clock frequency and the gate time. For example, if the clock frequency is 4 MHz and the gate time is 4.096 ms, a maximum count of 8,192 is produced by a full-scale frequency of 2 MHz. Thus, the resolution is 13 bits.

OVERRANGE

Since each reset pulse is only one clock period in length, the full-scale output frequency is equal to one-half the clock frequency. At full scale, the current steering switch spends half of the time on the summing junction; thus, an input current of
0.5 mA can be balanced. In the case of an overrange, the output of the integrator op amp drifts in the negative direction and the output of the comparator remains high. The logic circuits simply settle into a divide-by-two of the clock state.

SVFC CONNECTION FOR DUAL SUPPLY, POSITIVE INPUT VOLTAGES

Figure 8 shows the AD652 connection scheme for the traditional dual supply, positive input mode of operation. The
range is from ±6 V to ±18 V. When +VS is lower than 9.0 V,

As shown in Figure 8, three additional connections are required The first connection is to short Pin 13 to Pin 8 (Analog Ground
) and add a pull-up resistor to +VS (as shown in

These connections ensure proper operation of the 5 V reference. Tie Pin 16 to Pin 6 (as shown in Figure 21) to ensure that the integrator output ramps down far enough to trip the comparator.
The CERDIP-packaged AD652 accepts either a 0 V to 10 V or 0 mA to 0.5 mA full-scale input signal. The temperature drift of

S
the AD652 is specified for a 0 V to 10 V input range using the internal 20 kΩ resistor. If a current input is used, the gain drift is degraded by a maximum of 100 ppm/°C (the TC of the 20 kΩ resistor). If an external resistor is connected to Pin 5 to establish a different input voltage range, drift is induced to the extent that the external resistor’s TC differs from the TC of the internal resistor. The external resistor used to establish a different input voltage range should be selected to provide a full-scale current of 0.5 mA (i.e., 10 kΩ for 0 V to 5 V).

SVFC CONNECTIONS FOR NEGATIVE INPUT VOLTAGES

Voltages that are negative with respect to ground may be used as the input to the AD652 SVFC. In this case, Pin 7 is grounded and the input voltage is applied to Pin 6 (see Figure 9). In this mode, the input voltage can go as low as 4 V above −V configuration, the input is a high impedance, and only the 20 nA (typical) input bias current of the op amp must be supplied by the input signal. This is contrasted with the more usual positive input voltage configuration, which has a 20 kΩ input impedance and requires 0.5 mA from the signal source.
