DESCRIPTION
The VFC32 voltage-to-frequency converter provides
an output frequency accurately proportional to its
input voltage. The digital open-collector frequency
output is compatible with all common logic families.
Its integrating input characteristics give the VFC32
excellent noise immunity and low nonlinearity.
Full-scale output frequency is determined by an external capacitor and resistor and can be scaled over a
wide range. The VFC32 can also be configured as a
frequency-to-voltage converter.
The VFC32 is available in 14-pin plastic DIP, SO-14
surface-mount, and metal TO-100 packages. Commercial, industrial, and military temperature range models
are available.

NOTES: (1) A 25% duty cycle (0.25mA input current) is recommended for best linearity. (2) Adjustable to zero. See Offset and Gain Adjustment section. (3) Linearity error is specified
at any operating frequency from the straight line intersecting 90% of full scale frequency and 0.1% of full scale frequency. See Discussion of Specifications section. Above 200kHz,
it is recommended all grades be operated below +85°C. (4) ±0.015% of FSR for negative inputs shown in Figure 5. Positive inputs are shown in Figure 1. (5) FSR = Full Scale Range
(corresponds to full scale frequency and full scale input voltage). (6) Exclusive of external components’ drift. (7) Positive drift is defined to be increasing frequency with increasing
temperature. (8) For operations above 200kHz up to 500kHz, see Discussion of Specifications and Installation and Operation sections. (9) One pulse of new frequency plus 1µs.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
