PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
The AD652 Synchronous Voltage-to-Frequency Converter  
(SVFC) is a powerful building block for precision analog-to-  
digital conversion, offering typical nonlinearity of 0.002%  
(0.005% maximum) at a 100 kHz output frequency. The inher-  
ent monotonicity of the transfer function and wide range of  
clock frequencies allows the conversion time and resolution to  
be optimized for specific applications.  
1. The use of an external clock to set the full-scale frequency  
allows the AD652 to achieve linearity and stability far supe-  
rior to other monolithic VFCs. By using the same clock to  
drive the AD652 and (through a suitable divider) also set the  
counting period, conversion accuracy is maintained indepen-  
dent of variations in clock frequency.  
2. The AD652 Synchronous VFC requires only a single external  
component (a noncritical integrator capacitor) for operation.  
The AD652 uses a variation of the popular 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 sig-  
nificant application benefits in both single- and multichannel  
systems.  
3. The AD652 includes a buffered, accurate 5 V reference  
which is available to the user.  
4. The clock input of the AD652 is TTL and CMOS compat-  
ible and can also be driven by sources referred to the negative  
power supply. The flexible open-collector output stage pro-  
vides 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.  
Gain drift is minimized using a precision low drift reference and  
low TC on-chip thin-film scaling resistors. Furthermore, the ini-  
tial gain error is reduced to less than 0.5% by the use of  
laser-wafer-trimming.  
5. The AD652 can also be configured for use as a synchronous  
F/V converter for isolated analog signal transmission.  
The analog and digital sections of the AD652 have been de-  
signed to allow operation from a single-ended power source,  
simplifying its use with isolated power supplies.  
6. The AD652 is available in versions compliant with MIL-  
STD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products  
Databook or current AD652/883B data sheet for detailed  
specifications.  
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, and the AD652SQ is available for operation over the full  
–55°C to +125°C extended temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
A synchronous VFC is similar to other voltage-to-frequency  
converters in that an integrator is used to perform a charge-  
balance 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 crys-  
tal oscillator may also be used if desired.  
Figure 1b. PLCC Pin Configuration  
Figure 2 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  
and then 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 will truth-  
fully relay the information presented to it by the comparator.  
The SVFC architecture provides other system advantages besides  
low drift. If the output frequency is measured by counting  
pulses gated to a signal which 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 simulta-  
neously in a system, the controlled timing relationship between  
the frequency output pulses and the user supplied clock greatly  
simplifies this signal acquisition. Also, if the clock signal is pro-  
vided by a VFC, then the output frequency of the SVFC will be  
proportional to the product of the two input voltages.  
Since 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 tempera-  
ture. Since each reset pulse is identical to every other, the AD652  
SVFC produces a very linear voltage to frequency transfer rela-  
tion. Also, since all of the reset pulses are gated by the clock,  
Hence, multiplication and A-to-D conversion on two signals are  
performed simultaneously.  
–4–  
REV. B  
AD652  
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.  
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-by-fours an occasional  
divide-by-three occurs; the average of the output frequency is  
very close to one quarter of the clock, but the instantaneous fre-  
quency 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 which is also  
a sawtooth. This is shown in Figure 4.  
Figure 4. Integrator Output for IIN Slightly Greater  
than 250 µA  
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 accumu-  
lating phase linearly with time at a rate equal to 2 πf radians per  
second. Hence, the average output frequency which is slightly in  
excess of a quarter of the clock will require phase accumulation  
at a certain rate. However, since the SVFC is running at exactly  
one quarter of the clock, it will not accumulate enough phase  
(see Figure 5). When the difference between the required phase  
(average frequency) and the actual phase equals 2 π, a step in  
phase is taken where the deficit is made up instantaneously. The  
output frequency is then a steady carrier which has been phase  
modulated by a sawtooth signal (see Figure 5). The period of  
the sawtooth phase modulation is the time required to accumulate  
a 2 π difference in phase between the required average frequency  
and one quarter of the clock frequency. The amplitude of the  
sawtooth phase modulation is 2 π.  
Figure 2. AD652 Block Diagram and System Waveforms  
Referring to Figure 2, it can be seen 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 of the  
value of the reference current. In order to achieve a charge bal-  
ance, the output frequency will equal the clock frequency divided  
by four; one clock period for reset and three clock periods of inte-  
grate. This is shown in Figure 3. 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  
Figure 3. Integrator Output for lIN = 250 µA  
observed for a very small increase in the input current. The out-  
put 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 thresh-  
old is crossed earlier and earlier in each successive cycle, until  
Figure 5. Phase Modulation

AD652  
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 fre-  
quency is 4 MHz and the gate time is 4.096 ms, then a maximum  
count of 8,192 is produced by a full-scale frequency of 2 MHz.  
Thus, the resolution is 13 bits.  
SVFC CONNECTIONS FOR NEGATIVE INPUT  
VOLTAGES  
Voltages which 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  
7). In this mode the input voltage can go as low as 4 volts above  
VS. In this configuration the input is a high impedance, and  
only the 20 nA (typical) input bias current of the op amp need  
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.  
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 inte-  
grator op amp will drift in the negative direction and the output  
of the comparator will remain high. The logic circuits will then  
simply settle into a “divide-by-two” of the clock state.  
SVFC CONNECTION FOR DUAL SUPPLY, POSITIVE  
INPUT VOLTAGES  
Figure 6 shows the AD652 connection scheme for the tradi-  
tional dual supply, positive input mode of operation. The VS  
range is from 6 volts to 18 volts. When +VS is lower than  
9.0 volts, Figure 6 requires three additional connections. The  
first connection is to short Pin 13 to Pin 8 (Analog Ground to  
–VS) and add a pull-up resistor to +VS (as shown in Figure 15).  
The pull-up resistor is determined by the following equation:  
Figure 7. Negative Voltage Input  
SVFC CONNECTION FOR BIPOLAR INPUT VOLTAGES  
A bipolar input voltage of 5 V can be accommodated by inject-  
ing a 250 µA current into Pin 5. This is shown in Figure 8a. A  
5 V signal will then provide a zero sum current at the integrator  
summing junction which will result in a zero output frequency,  
while a +5 V signal will provide a 0.5 mA (full-scale) sum cur-  
rent which will result in the full-scale output frequency.  
2VS 5V

These connections will ensure proper operation of the 5 V  
reference. Tie Pin 16 to Pin 6 (as shown in Figure 15) 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 the AD652 is specified for a 0 V to 10 V input range using  
the internal 20 kresistor. If a current input is used, the gain  
drift will be degraded by a maximum of 100 ppm/°C (the TC of  
the 20 kresistor). If an external resistor is connected to Pin 5  
to establish a different input voltage range, drift will be induced  
to the extent that the external resistors TC differs from the TC  
of the internal resistor. The external resistor used to establish a  
different input voltage range should be selected as to provide a  
full-scale current of 0.5 mA (i.e., 10 kfor 0 V to 5 V).  
Figure 8a. Bipolar Offset  
The use of an external resistor to inject the offset current will  
have some effect on the bipolar offset temperature coefficient.  
The ideal transfer curve with bipolar inputs is shown in Fig-  
ure 8b. The user actually has four options to use in injecting the  
bipolar offset current into the inverting input of the op amp: 1)

ROS and an external RIN; 3) use two external resistors; 4) use  
two internal resistors for RIN and ROS (available on PLCC

Option #4 provides the closest to the ideal transfer function as  
diagrammed in Figure 8b. Figure 8c shows the effects on the  
transfer relation of the other three options. In the first case, the  
slope of the transfer function is unchanged with temperature.  
However, VZERO ( the input voltage required to produce an out-  
put frequency of 0 Hz) and FZERO (the output frequency when  
VIN = 0 V) changes as the transfer function is displaced parallel  
to the voltage axis with temperature. In the second case, FZERO  
remains constant, but VZERO changes as the transfer function  
rotates about FZERO with temperature changes. In the third case,  
with two external resistors, the VZERO point remains invariant  
while the slope and offset of the transfer function change with  
temperature. If selecting this third option, the user should select  
low drift, matched resistors.

Figure 9d. For a 4 V range, the input signal should be applied  
to Pin 9, and Pin 20 should be connected to Pin 8.

PLCC CONNECTIONS  
The PLCC packaged AD652 offers additional input resistors  
not found on the cerdip-packaged device. These resistors pro-  
vide the user with additional input voltage ranges. Besides the  
10 V range available using the on-chip resistor in the cerdip  
part, the PLCC device also offers 8 V and 5 V ranges. Figures  
9a9c show the proper connections for these ranges with posi-  
tive input voltages. For negative input voltages, the appropriate  
resistor should be tied to analog ground and the input voltage  
should be applied to Pin 6, the +input of the op amp.  
Bipolar input voltages can be accommodated by injecting a  
250 µA into Pin 5 with the use of the 5 V reference and the  
input resistors. For 5 V or 2.5 V range the reference output,  
Pin 20, should be tied to Pin 10. The input signal should then

adjustment is then accomplished using a 500 series trimmer.  
See Figures 10a and 10b. When negative input voltages are  
used, this 500 trimmer will be tied to ground and Pin 6 will  
be the input pin.  
reference voltage. For example, a 10 mA load interacting with  
a 0.3 typical output impedance will change the reference  
voltage by 0.06%.  
DIGITAL INTERFACING CONSIDERATIONS  
This gain trim should be done with an input voltage of 9 V, and  
the output frequency should be adjusted to exactly 45% of the  
clock frequency. Since the device settles into a divide-by-two  
mode for an input overrange condition, adjusting the gain with a  
10 V input is impractical; the output frequency would be exactly  
one-half the clock frequency if the gain were too high and would  
not change with adjustment until the exact proper scale factor  
was achieved. Hence, the gain adjustment should be done with a  
9 V input.  
The AD652 clock input is a high impedance input with a  
threshold voltage of two diode voltages with respect to Digital  
Ground at Pin 12 (approximately 1.2 volts at room temp).  
When the clock input is low, 5 µA10 µA flows out of this pin.  
When the clock input is high, no current flows.  
The frequency output is an open collector pull-down and is  
capable of sinking 10 mA with a maximum voltage of 0.4 volts.  
This will drive 6 standard TTL inputs. The open collector pull  
up voltage can be as high as 36 volts above digital ground.  
The offset of the op amp may be trimmed to zero with the trim  
scheme shown in Figures 10a for the cerdip packaged device and  
Figure 10b for the PLCC packaged device. One way of trim-  
ming the offset is by grounding Pin 7 (8) of the cerdip (PLCC)  
packaged device and observing the waveform at Pin 4. If the off-  
set voltage of the op amp is positive, then the integrator will have  
saturated and the voltage will be at the positive rail. If the offset  
voltage is negative, then there will be a small effective input current  
that will cause the AD652 to oscillate and a sawtooth waveform  
will be observed at Pin 4. The trimpot should be adjusted until  
the downward slope of this sawtooth becomes very slow, down  
to a frequency of 1 Hz or less. In an analog-to-digital conversion  
application, an easier way to trim the offset is to apply a small  
input voltage, such as 0.01% of the full-scale voltage, and adjust  
the trimpot until the correct digital output is reached.  
COMPONENT SELECTION  
The AD652 integrating capacitor should be 0.02 µF. If a large  
amount of normal mode interference is expected (more than  
0.1 volts) and the clock frequency is less than 500 kHz, an inte-  
grating capacitor of 0.1 µF should be used. Mylar, polypropylene,  
or polystyrene capacitors should be used.  
The open collector pull-up resistor should be chosen to give  
adequately fast rise times. At low clock frequencies (100 kHz)  
larger resistor values (several k) and slower rise times may be  
tolerated. However, at higher clock frequencies (1 MHz) a lower  
value resistor should be used. The loading of the logic input  
which is being driven must also be taken into consideration.  
For example, if 2 standard TTL loads are to be driven then a  
3.2 mA current must be sunk, leaving 6.8 mA for the pull-up  
resistor if the maximum low level voltage is to be maintained at  
0.4 volts. A 680 resistor would thus be selected ((5 V0.4)V/  
6.8 mA) = 680 .  
GAIN PERFORMANCE  
The AD652 gain error is specified as the difference in slope  
between the actual and the ideal transfer function over the full-  
scale frequency range. Figure 11 shows a plot of the typical  
gain error changes vs. the clock input frequency, normalized  
to 100 kHz. If after using the AD652 with a full-scale clock  
frequency of 100 kHz it is decided to reduce the necessary gat-  
ing time by increasing the clock frequency, this plot shows the  
typical gain changes normalized to the original 100 kHz gain.  
The one-shot capacitor controls the pulse width of the fre-  
quency output. The pulse is initiated by the rising edge of the  
clock signal. The delay time between the rising edge of the clock  
and the falling edge of the frequency output is typically 200 ns.  
The width of the pulse is 5 ns/pF and the minimum width is  
about 200 ns with Pin 9 floating. If the one-shot period is acci-  
dentally chosen longer than the clock period, the width of the  
pulse will default to equal the clock period. The one-shot can be  
disabled by connecting Pin 9 to +VS (Figure 12); the output  
pulse width will then be equal to the clock period. The one-shot  
is activated (Figure 13) by connecting a capacitor from Pin 9 to  
+VS, VS, or Digital Ground (+VS is preferred).

REFERENCE NOISE  
The AD652 has on board a precision buffered 5 V reference  
which is available to the user. Besides being used to offset the  
noninverting comparator input in the voltage-to-frequency  
mode, this reference can be used for other applications such as  
offsetting the input to handle bipolar signals and providing  
bridge excitation. It can source 10 mA and sink 100 µA, and is  
short circuit protected. Heavy loading of the reference will not  
change the gain of the VFC, although it will affect the external

DIGITAL GROUND  
Figure 16 shows the negative voltage input configuration for use  
of the AD652 in the single supply mode. In this mode the signal  
source is driving the +input of the op amp which requires  
only 20 nA (typical), rather than the 0.5 mA required in the  
positive input voltage configuration. The voltage at Pin 6 may  
go as low as 4 volts above ground (VS Pin 8). Since the input  
reference is 5.0 volts above ground, this leaves a 1 V window  
for the input signal. In order to drive the integrating capacitor  
with a 0.5 mA full-scale current, it is necessary to provide an  
external 2 kresistor. This results in a 2 kresistor and a 1 V  
input range. The external 2 kresistor should be a low TC  
metal-film type for lowest drift degradation.  
Digital Ground can be at any potential between VS and (+VS  
4 volts). This can be very useful in a system with derived  
grounds rather than stiff supplies. For example, in a small iso-  
lated power circuit, often only a single supply is generated and  
the groundis set by a divider tap. Such a ground cannot  
handle the large currents associated with digital signals. With  
the AD652 SVFC, it is possible to connect the DIG GND to  
VS for a solid logic reference, as shown in Figure 14.  
Figure 14. Digital GND at VS  
SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION  
In addition to the Digital Ground being connected to VS, it is also  
possible to connect Analog Ground to VS of the AD652. Hence,  
the device is truly operating from a single supply voltage that can  
range from +12 V to +36 V. This is shown in Figure 15 for a  
positive voltage input and Figure 16 for a negative voltage input.  
Figure 16. Single Supply Negative Voltage Input  
FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERTER  
The AD652 SVFC also works as a frequency-to-voltage converter.  
Figure 17 shows the connection diagram for F/V conversion. In  
this case the “–” input of the comparator is fed the input pulses.  
Either comparator input may be used so that an input pulse of  
either polarity may be applied to the F/V.  
In Figure 15, the comparator reference is used as a derived  
ground, and the input voltage is referred to this point as well as  
the op amp common mode (Pin 6 is tied to Pin 16). Since the  
input signal source must drive 0.5 mA of full-scale signal cur-  
rent into Pin 7, it must also draw the exact same current from  
the input reference potential. This current will thus be provided  
by the 5 V reference.  
Figure 15. Single Supply Positive Voltage Input  
In the single supply operation mode, an external resistor,  
RPULLUP, is necessary between the power supply, + VS, and the  
5 V reference output. This resistor should be selected such that  
a current of approximately 500 µA flows during operation. For  
example, with a power supply voltage of +15 V, a 20 kresistor  
would be selected ((15 V5 V)/500 µA = 20 k).  
Figure 17. Frequency-to-Voltage Converter  
REV. B  
9–  
AD652  
In Figure 17 the +input is tied to a 1.2 V reference and low  
level TTL pulses are used as the frequency input. The pulse must  
be low on the falling edge of the clock. On the subsequent rising  
edge the 1 mA current source is switched to the integrator sum-  
ming junction and ramps up the voltage at Pin 4. Due to the action  
of the AND gate, the 1 mA current is switched off after only one  
clock period. The average current delivered to the summing  
junction varies from 0 mA to 0.5 mA; using the internal 20 kΩ  
resistor this results in a full-scale output voltage of  
between the high precision analog signals and the digital section  
of the circuitry. Much noise can be tolerated on the digital ground  
without affecting the accuracy of the VFC. Such ground noise is  
inevitable when switching the large currents associated with the  
frequency output signal.  
At high full-scale frequencies, it is necessary to use a pull-up  
resistor of about 500 in order to get the rise time fast enough  
to provide well defined output pulses. This means that from a  
5 volt logic supply, for example, the open collector output will  
draw 10 mA. This much current being switched will cause ring-  
ing on long ground runs due to the self inductance of the wires.  
For instance, #20 gauge wire has an inductance of about 20 nH  
per inch; a current of 10 mA being switched in 50 ns at the end  
of 12 inches of 20 gauge wire will produce a voltage spike of  
50 mV. The separate digital ground of the AD652 will easily  
handle these types of switching transients.  
10 V at Pin 4.  
The frequency response of the circuit is determined by the  
capacitor; the 3 dB frequency is simply the RC time constant. A  
tradeoff exists between ripple and response. If low ripple is desired,  
a large value capacitor must be used (1 µF), if fast response is  
needed, a small capacitor is used (1 nF minimum).  
The op amp can drive a 5 kresistor load to 10 V, using a 15 V  
positive power supply. If a large load capacitance (0.01 µF) must  
be driven, then it is necessary to isolate the load with a 50 Ω  
resistor as shown. Since the 50 resistor is 0.25% of the full  
scale, and the specified gain error with the 20 kresistor is  
0.5%, this extra resistor will only increase the total gain error  
to +0.75% max.  
A problem will remain from interference caused by radiation of  
electromagnetic energy from these fast transients. Typically, a  
voltage spike is produced by inductive switching transients;  
these spikes can capacitively couple into other sections of the  
circuit. Another problem is ringing of ground lines and power  
supply lines due to the distributed capacitance and inductance  
of the wires. Such ringing can also couple interference into sensi-  
tive analog circuits. The best solution to these problems is proper  
bypassing of the logic supply at the AD652 package. A 1 µF to  
10 µF tantalum capacitor should be connected directly to the  
supply side of the pull-up resistor and to the digital ground, Pin  
12. The pull-up resistor should be connected directly to the  
frequency output, Pin 11. The lead lengths on the bypass  
capacitor and the pull-up resistor should be as short as possible.  
The capacitor will supply (or absorb) the current transients, and  
large ac signals will flow in a physically small loop through the  
capacitor, pull-up resistor, and frequency output transistor. It is  
important that the loop be physically small for two reasons: first,  
there is less inductance if the wires are short, and second, the  
loop will not radiate RFI efficiently.  
The circuit shown is unipolar and only a 0 V to + 10 V output is  
allowed. The integrator op amp is not a general purpose op amp,  
rather it has been optimized for simplicity and high speed. The  
most significant difference between this amplifier and a general  
purpose op amp is the lack of an integrator (or level shift) stage.  
Consequently, the voltage on the output (Pin 4) must always be  
more positive than 1 volt below the inputs (Pins 6 and 7). For  
example, in the F-to-V conversion mode, the noninverting input  
of the op amp (Pin 6) is grounded which means that the output  
(Pin 4) cannot go below 1 volt. Normal operation of the circuit  
as shown will never call for a negative voltage at the output.  
A second difference between this op amp and a general purpose  
amplifier is that the output will only sink 1.5 mA to the negative  
supply. The only pull-down other than the 1 mA current used for  
voltage-to-frequency conversion is a 0.5 mA source. The op amp  
will source a great deal of current from the positive supply, and  
it is internally protected by current limiting. The output of the op  
amp may be driven to within 4 volts of the positive supply when  
not sourcing external current. When sourcing 10 mA, the output  
voltage may be driven to within 6 volts of the positive supply.  
The digital ground (Pin 12) should be separately connected to  
the power supply ground. Note that the leads to the digital  
power supply are only carrying dc current. There may be a dc  
ground drop due to the difference in currents returned on the  
analog and digital grounds. This will not cause a problem. These  
features greatly ease power distribution and ground manage-  
ment in large systems. Proper technique for grounding requires  
separate digital and analog ground returns to the power supply.  
Also, the signal ground must be referred directly to analog ground  
(Pin 6) at the package. More information on proper grounding  
and reduction of interference can be found in Reference 1.  
DECOUPLING AND GROUNDING  
It is good engineering practice to use bypass capacitors on the  
supply-voltage pins and to insert small valued resistors (10 to  
100 ) in the supply lines to provide a measure of decoupling  
between the various circuits in a system. Ceramic capacitors of  
0.1 µF to 1.0 µF should be applied between the supply voltage pins  
and analog signal ground for proper bypassing on the AD652.  
FREQUENCY OUTPUT MULTIPLIER  
The AD652 can serve as a frequency output multiplier when  
used in conjunction with a standard voltage-to-frequency con-  
verter. Figure 18 shows the low cost AD654 VFC being used as  
the clock input to the AD652. Also shown is a second AD652  
in the F/V mode. The AD654 is set up to produce an output  
frequency of 0 kHz500 kHz for an input voltage (V1) range  
of 0 V10 V. The use of R4, C1, and the XOR gate doubles this  
output frequency from 0 kHz500 kHz to 0 MHz1 MHz.  
In addition, a larger board level decoupling capacitor of 1 µF to  
10 µF should be located relatively close to the AD652 on each  
power supply line. Such precautions are imperative in high reso-  
lution data acquisition applications where one expects to exploit  
the full linearity and dynamic range of the AD652.  
Separate digital and analog grounds are provided on the AD652.  
The emitter of the open collector frequency output transistor  
and the clock input threshold only are returned to the digital  
ground. Only the 5 V reference is connected to analog ground.  
The purpose of the two separate grounds is to allow isolation

SINGLE-LINE MULTIPLEXED DATA TRANSMISSION  
It is often necessary to measure several different signals and relay  
the information to some remote location using a minimum  
amount of cable. Multiple AD652 SVFC devices may be used  
with a multiphase clock to combine these measurements for  
serial transmission and demultiplexing. Figure 20 shows a block  
diagram of a single-line multiplexed data transmission system  
with high noise immunity. Figures 21, 22 and 23 show the SVFC  
multiplexer, a representative means of data transmission, and an  
SVFC demultiplexer respectively.  
Multiplexer  
Figure 21 shows the SVFC multiplexer. The clock inputs for the  
several SVFC channels are generated by a TIM9904A four phase  
clock driver, and the frequency outputs are combined by strapping  
all the frequency output pins together (a wire orconnection).  
The one-shot in the AD652 sets the pulse width of the frequency  
output pulses to be slightly shorter than one quarter of the clock  
period. Synchronization is achieved by applying one of the four  
available phases to a fixed TTL one-shot (121) and combining  
Figure 18. Frequency Output Multiplier  
This 1 MHz full-scale frequency is then used as the clock input  
to the AD652 SVFC. Since the AD652 full-scale output fre-  
quency is one-half the clock frequency, the 1 MHz FS clock  
frequency establishes a 500 kHz maximum output frequency for  
the AD652 when its input voltage (V2) is +10 V. The user thus  
has an output frequency range from 0 kHz500 kHz which is  
proportional to the product of V1 and V2.

and the multiplex output signal. Note that the sync pulse is  
present every clock cycle, but the data pulses are no more fre-  
quent than every other clock cycle since the maximum output  
frequency from the SVFC is half the clock frequency. The clock

pulse is shorter than the width of the frequency output pulses to  
facilitate decoding the signal. The RC lag network on the input  
of the one-shot provides a slight delay between the rising edge  
of the clock and the sync pulse in order to match the 150 ns  
delay of the AD652 between the rising edge of the clock and  
the output pulse.

data pulse, then when the D-flop samples at the end of the one-  
shot period, the signal will still be low and no pulse will appear  
at the reconstructed clock output. These waveforms are shown  
in Figure 25.  
The demultiplexer needed to separate the combined signals is  
shown in Figure 23. A phase locked loop drives another four  
phase clock chip to lock onto the reconstructed clock signal.  
The sync pulses are distinguished from the data pulses by their  
shorter duration. Each falling edge on the multiplex input signal  
triggers the one-shot, and at the end of this one-shot pulse the  
multiplex input signal is sampled by a D-type flip-flop. If the  
signal is high, then the pulse was short (a sync pulse) and the  
Q output of the D-flop goes low. The D-flop is cleared a short  
time (two gate delays) later, and the clock is reconstructed as a  
stream of short, low-going pulses. If the Multiplex input is a  
If it is desired to recover the individual frequency signals, then  
the multiplex input is sampled with a D-flop at the appropriate  
time as determined by the rising edge of the various phases  
generated by the clock chip. These frequency signals can be  
counted as a ratio relative to the reconstructed clock, so it is not  
even necessary for the transmitter to be crystal controlled as  
shown here.

Analog Signal Reconstruction  
ISOLATED FRONT END  
If it is desired to reconstruct the analog voltages from the multi-  
plex signal, then three more AD652 SVFC devices are used as  
frequency-to-voltage converters, as shown in Figure 26. The  
comparator inputs of all the devices are strapped together, and  
the +inputs are held at a 1.2 volt TTL threshold, while the  
“–” inputs are driven by the multiplex input. The three clock  
inputs are driven by the φ outputs of the clock chip. Remember  
that data at the comparator input of the SVFC is loaded on the  
falling edge of the clock signal and shifted out on the next rising  
edge. Note that the frequency signals for each data channel are  
available at the frequency output pin of each FVC.  
In some applications it may be necessary to have complete  
galvanic isolation between the analog signals being measured and  
the digital portions of the circuit. The circuit shown in Figure  
27 runs off a single 5 volt power supply and provides a self-  
contained, completely isolated analog measurement system. The  
power for the AD652 SVFC is provided by a chopper and a  
transformer, and is regulated to 15 volts.  
Both the chopper frequency and the AD652 clock frequency are  
125 kHz, with the clock signal being relayed to the SVFC through  
the transformer. The frequency output signal is relayed through  
14–

an opto-isolator and latched into a D-flop. The chopper frequency  
is generated from an AD654 VFC and is frequency divided by two  
to develop differential drive for the chopper transistors, and to  
ensure an accurate 50 percent duty cycle. The pull-up resistors  
on the D-flop outputs provide a well defined high level voltage  
to the choppers to equalize the drive in each direction. The 10 µH  
inductor in the +5 V lead of the transformer primary is necessary  
to equalize any residual imbalance in the drive on each half-  
cycle and thus prevent saturation of the core. The capacitor  
across the primary resonates the system so that under light load-  
ing conditions on the secondary the wave shape will be sinusoidal  
and the clock frequency will be relayed to the SVFC. To adjust  
the chopper frequency, disconnect any load on the secondary  
and tune the AD654 for a minimum in the supply current drawn  
from the 5 volt supply.

DELTA MODULATOR  
The circuit of Figure 29 shows the AD652 configured as a delta  
modulator. A reference voltage is applied to the input of the  
integrator (Pin 7), which sets the steady state output frequency  
at one-half of the AD652 full-scale frequency (1/4 of the clock  
frequency). As a 0 V to 10 V input signal is applied to the com-  
parator (Pin 15), the output of the integrator attempts to track  
this signal. For an input in an idling condition (dc) the output  
frequency will be one-half full scale. For positive going signals  
the output frequency will be between one-half full scale and full  
scale, and for negative going signals the output frequency will be  
between zero and one-half full scale. The output frequency will  
correspond to the slope of the comparator input signal.  
A-TO-D CONVERSION  
In performing an A-to-D conversion, the output pulses of a VFC  
are counted for a fixed gate interval. To achieve maximum per-  
formance with the AD652, the fixed gate interval should be  
generated using a multiple of the SVFC clock input. Counting  
in this manner will eliminate any errors due to the clock (whether it  
be jitter, drift with time or temperature, etc.) since it is the ratio  
of the clock and output frequencies that is being measured.  
The resolution of the A-to-D conversion measurement is deter-  
mined by the clock frequency and the gate time. If, for instance,  
a resolution of 12 bits is desired and the clock frequency is 1 MHz  
(resulting in an AD652 FS frequency of 500 kHz) the gate time  
will be:

Figure 28 shows the AD652 SVFC as an A-to-D converter in  
block diagram form.  
Figure 29. Delta Modulator  
Since the output frequency corresponds to the slope of the input  
signal, the delta modulator acts as a differentiator. A delta modula-  
tor is thus a direct way of finding the derivative of a signal. This  
is useful in systems where, for example, a signal corresponding  
to velocity exists and it is desired to determine acceleration.

Figure 30 is a scope photo showing a 20 kHz, 0 V to 10 V sine  
wave used as the input to the comparator and its ramp-wise  
approximation at the integrator output. The clock frequency used  
as 2 MHz and the integrating capacitor was 360 pF. Figure 31  
shows the same input signal and its ramp-wise approximation,  
along with the output frequency corresponding to the derivative  
of the input signal. In this case the clock frequency was 50 kHz.  
To provide the ÷ 2N block a single chip counter such as the  
4020B can be used. The 4020B is a 14-stage binary ripple  
counter which has a clock and master reset for inputs, and buff-  
ered outputs from the first stage and the last eleven stages. The  
output of the first stage is fCLOCK ÷ 21 = fCLOCK/2) while the  
output of the last stage is fCLOCK ÷ 214 = fCLOCK/16384. Hence  
using this single chip counter as the ÷ 2N block, 13-bit resolu-  
tion can be achieved. Higher resolution can be achieved by  
cascading D-type flipflops or another 4020B with the counter.  
The choice of an integrating capacitor is primarily dictated by  
the input signal bandwidth. Figure 32 shows this relationship. It  
should be noted that as the value of CINT is lowered, the ramp  
size of the integrator approximation becomes larger. This can  
be compensated for by increasing the clock frequency. The effect  
of the clock frequency on the ramp size is demonstrated in  
Figures 30 and 31.  
Table I shows the relationship between clock frequency and gate  
time for various degrees of resolution. Note that if the variables  
are chosen such that the gate times are multiples of 50 Hz, 60 Hz  
or 400 Hz, normal-mode rejection (NMR) of those line fre-  
quencies will occur.

These resistors should be selected such that the following equa-  
tion holds:  
2 RF  
RG  
10V = VBRIDGE  
+1  
where 10 kΩ ≤ RF 20 k, and VBRIDGE is the maximum  
output voltage of the bridge.  
The bridge output may be unipolar, as is the case for most  
pressure transducers, or it may be bipolar as in some strain mea-  
surements. If the signal is unipolar, the reference input of the  
AD625 (Pin 7) is simply grounded. If the bridge has a bipolar  
output, however, the AD652 reference can be tied to Pin 7,  
thereby, converting a 5 volt signal (after gain) into a 0 volt to  
+10 volt input for the SVFC.

BRIDGE TRANSDUCER INTERFACE

The circuit of Figure 33 illustrates a simple interface between  
the AD652 and a bridge-type transducer. The AD652 is an  
ideal choice because its buffered 5 volt reference can be used as  
the bridge excitation thereby ratiometrically eliminating the gain  
drift related errors. This reference will provide a minimum of  
10 mA of external current, which is adequate for bridge resis-  
tance of 600 and above. If, for example, the bridge resistance  
is 120 or 350 , an external pull-up resistor (RPU) is required  
and can be calculated using the formula:

An instrumentation amplifier is used to condition the bridge sig-  
nal before presenting it to the SVFC. The AD625, with its high  
CMRR, minimizes common-mode errors and also can be set to  
arbitrary gains between 1 and 10,000 via three resistors, simpli-  
fying the scaling for the AD652s calibrated 10 volt input range.
