PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD650 V/F/V (voltage-to-frequency or frequency-to-voltage
converter) provides a combination of high frequency operation
and low nonlinearity previously unavailable in monolithic form.
The inherent monotonicity of the V/F transfer function makes
the AD650 useful as a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter.
A flexible input configuration allows a wide variety of input volt-
age and current formats to be used, and an open-collector output
with separate digital ground allows simple interfacing to either
standard logic families or opto-couplers.
The linearity error of the AD650 is typically 20 ppm (0.002%
of full scale) and 50 ppm (0.005%) maximum at 10 kHz full
scale. This corresponds to approximately 14-bit linearity in an
analog-to-digital converter circuit. Higher full-scale frequencies
or longer count intervals can be used for higher resolution con-
versions. The AD650 has a useful dynamic range of six decades
allowing extremely high resolution measurements. Even at 1 MHz
full scale, linearity is guaranteed less than 1000 ppm (0.1%) on
the AD650KN, BD, and SD grades.
In addition to analog-to-digital conversion, the AD650 can be used
in isolated analog signal transmission applications, phased locked-
loop circuits, and precision stepper motor speed controllers. In
the F/V mode, the AD650 can be used in precision tachometer
and FM demodulator circuits.
The input signal range and full-scale output frequency are user-
programmable with two external capacitors and one resistor.
Input offset voltage can be trimmed to zero with an external
potentiometer.
The AD650JN and AD650KN are offered in a plastic 14-lead
DIP package. The AD650JP is available in a 20-lead plastic
leaded chip carrier (PLCC). Both plastic packaged versions of the
AD650 are specified for the commercial (0°C to +70°C) tempera-
ture range. For industrial temperature range (–25°C to +85°C)
applications, the AD650AD and AD650BD are offered in a
ceramic package. The AD650SD is specified for the full –55°C
to +125°C extended temperature range.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. In addition to very high linearity, the AD650 can operate at
full-scale output frequency up to 1 MHz. The combination of
these two features makes the AD650 an inexpensive solution
for applications requiring high resolution monotonic A/D
conversion.
2. The AD650 has a very versatile architecture that can be con-
figured to accommodate bipolar, unipolar, or differential
input voltages, or unipolar input currents.
3. TTL or CMOS compatibility is achieved using an open
collector frequency output. The pull-up resistor can be
connected to voltages up to +30 V, or +15 V or +5 V for
conventional CMOS or TTL logic levels.
4. The same components used for V/F conversion can also be
used for F/V conversion by adding a simple logic biasing net-
work and reconfiguring the AD650.
5. The AD650 provides separate analog and digital grounds.
This feature allows prevention of ground loops in real-world
applications.
6. The AD650 is available in versions compliant with MIL-
STD-883. Refer to the Analog Devices Military Products
Databook or current AD650/883B data sheet for detailed
specifications.
