Details of Operation: Precision V-To-F Converter (Figure 16)
In this circuit, integration is Performed by using a conventional operational amplifier and feedback capacitor, CF
When the integrator's output crosses the nominal threshold level at pin 6 of the LM231 / 331, the timing cycle is
initiated.
The average current fed Into the op-amp's summing point (pin 2) is i × (1.1 RtCt) × f mà perfectly-balanced
with -VIN / RIN. In this circuit, the voltage offset of the LM231 / 331 does not hưởng the comparator input offset or
accuracy of the V-to-F converter as it does in the stand-alone V-to-F converter; nor does the LM231 / 331 bias
current or offset current. Thay, the offset voltage and offset current of the operational amplifier are the only
limits on how small the signal can be accurately converted. Since op-amps with well below 1 mV offset voltage
and offset currents well below 2 nA are available at low cost, this circuit is recommended for best accuracy for
small signals. This circuit ngay am also responds to any change of input signal (mà a stand-alone circuit
does not) than rằng Will Be an accurate output frequency Representation of VIN, as Quickly as 2 output pulses'
spacing can be measured.
In the precision mode , excellent linearity is thu được vì current source (pin 1) is always at ground
potencial and mà does not vary with voltage VIN or Fout. (In the stand-alone V-to-F converter, a major cause, of
non-linearity is the output impedance at pin 1 mà Causes i to change as a function of VIN).
The circuit of Figure 17 operates in the same way as Figure 16, but with the changes cần for high speed
operation.
