Unlike pulse train output V/F converters, each 2) is speed limited to approximately 500 kHz for reasons of TTL half-cycle of the AD654 output conveys information about the logic compatibility. Although the output stage may become input. Thus it is possible to count edges, rather than full cycles speed limited, the multivibrator core itself is able to oscillate to of the output, and double the effective output frequency. The 1 MHz or more. The designer may take advantage of this feature in XOR gate following A2 acts as an edge detector producing a short order to operate the device at frequencies in excess of 500 kHz. pulse for each input state transition. This effectively doubles the Figure 13 illustrates this with a circuit offering 2 MHz full scale. V/F FS frequency to 2 MHz. The final result is a 1 V full-scale In this circuit the AD654 is operated at a full scale (FS) of 1 mA, input V/F with a 2 MHz full-scale output capability; typical with a C nonlinearity is 0.5%. T of 100 pF. This achieves a basic device FS frequency of 1 MHz across CT. The P channel JFETs, Q1 and Q2, buffer the differential timing capacitor waveforms to a low impedance 2V5V500ns level where the push-pull signal is then ac coupled to the high speed 2V100V1 comparator A2. Hysteresis is used, via R7, for nonambiguous 900 switching and to eliminate the oscillations which would other- 2V wise occur at low frequencies. V20 The net result of this is a very high speed circuit which does not 5V compromise the AD654 dynamic range. This is a result of the FET V3100 buffers typically having only a few pA of bias current. The high 0%5V end dynamic range is limited, however, by parasitic package and 2V5VV4 layout capacitances in shunt with C 0 T, as well as those from each node to ac ground. Minimizing the lead length between A2–6/A2–7 and Figure 14. Waveforms of 2 MHz Frequency Doubler Q1/Q2 in PC layout will help. A ground plane will also help stability. Figure 14 shows the waveforms V1–V4 found at the respective points shown in Figure 13. –10– REV. C
