The AD7741/AD7742 are a new generation of synchronous
voltage-to-frequency converters (VFCs). The AD7741 is a
single-channel version in an 8-lead package (SOIC/DIP) and the
AD7742 is a multichannel version in a 16-lead package (SOIC/
DIP). No user trimming is required to achieve the specified
performance.

The AD7741 has a single buffered input whereas the AD7742
has four buffered inputs that may be configured as two fully-
differential inputs or three pseudo-differential inputs. Both parts
include an on-chip +2.5 V bandgap reference that provides the
user with the option of using this internal reference or an exter-
nal reference.
The AD7741 has a single-ended voltage input range from 0 V
to REFIN. The AD7742 has a differential voltage input range
from –VREF to +VREF. Both parts operate from a single +5 V
supply consuming typically 6 mA, and also contain a power-
down feature that reduces the current consumption to less than
35 µA.

NOTES
1Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2Transient currents of up to 100 mA will not cause SCR latch-up.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD7741/AD7742 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent dam-
age may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

External Clock Output. When the master clock for the device is a crystal, the crystal is connected

provides an inverted clock signal. This clock should be buffered if it is to be used as a clock source
elsewhere in the system.

CLKIN
External Clock Input. The master clock for the device can be provided in the form of a crystal or an
external clock. A crystal may be tied across the CLKIN and CLKOUT pins. Alternatively, the
CLKIN pin may be driven by a CMOS-compatible clock and CLKOUT left unconnected. The
frequency of the master clock may be as high as 6 MHz.
This is the reference input to the core of the VFC and defines the span of the VFC. If this pin is left
unconnected, the internal 2.5 V reference is used. Alternatively, a precision external reference (e.g.,
REF192) may be used to overdrive the internal reference. The internal bandgap reference has a
high output impedance in order to allow it to be overdriven.

TERMINOLOGY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY
The AD7741/AD7742 are a new generation of CMOS synchro-
nous Voltage-to-Frequency Converters (VFCs) that use a
charge-balance conversion technique. The AD7741 is a single-
channel version and the AD7742 is a multichannel version. The
input voltage signal is applied to a proprietary programmable
gain front-end based around an analog modulator that converts
the input voltage into an output pulse train.
For the VFC, Integral Nonlinearity (INL) is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
actual endpoints of the VFC transfer function. The error is
expressed in % of the frequency span:
Frequency Span = fOUT(max) – fOUT(min)
OFFSET ERROR
The parts also contain an on-chip +2.5 V bandgap reference
and operate from a single +5 V supply. A block diagram of the
AD7742 is shown in Figure 2.
This is a measure of the offset error of the VFC. Ideally, the
minimum output frequency (corresponding to minimum input
voltage) is 5% of fCLKIN The deviation from this value is the
offset error. It is expressed in terms of the error referred to the
input voltage. It is expressed in mV.

GAIN ERROR
This is a measure of the span error of the VFC. The gain is the
scale factor that relates the input VIN to the output fOUT. The
gain error is the deviation in slope of the actual VFC transfer
characteristic from the ideal expressed as a percentage of the
full-scale span.
Figure 2. AD7742 Block Diagram
Input Amplifier Stage
The buffered input stage for the analog inputs presents a high
impedance, allowing significant external source impedances.
The four analog inputs (VIN1 through VIN4) each have a voltage
range from +0.5 V to VDD – 1.75 V. This is an absolute voltage
range and is relative to the GND pin.
OFFSET ERROR DRIFT
This is a measure of the change in Offset Error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in µV/°C.
GAIN ERROR DRIFT
This is a measure of the change in Gain Error with changes in
temperature. It is expressed in (ppm of span)/°C.
In the case of the AD7742 multichannel part, a differential
multiplexer switches one of the differential input channels to the
VFC modulator. The multiplexer is controlled by two pins, A1
and A0. See Table I for channel configurations.
POWER-SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO (PSRR)
This indicates how the output of the VFC is affected by changes
in the supply voltage. Again, this error is referred to the input
voltage. The input voltage is kept constant and the VDD supply
is varied ±5%. The ratio of the apparent change in input voltage
to the change in VDD is measured in dBs.

CHANNEL-TO-CHANNEL ISOLATION
This is a ratio of the amplitude of the signal at the input of one
channel to a sine wave on the input of another channel. It is
measured in dBs.
Full Differential
Analog Input Ranges
The AD7741 has a unipolar single-ended input channel whereas
the AD7742 contains four input channels which may be con-
figured as two fully differential channels or as three pseudo-
differential channels. The AD7742 also has a X1/X2 gain
option on the front end. The channel and gain settings are
pin-programmable.
COMMON-MODE REJECTION
For the AD7742, the output frequency should remain un-
changed provided the differential input remains unchanged
although its common-mode level may change. The CMR is the
ratio of the apparent change in differential input voltage to the
actual change in common-mode voltage. It is expressed in dBs.
The AD7742 uses differential inputs to provide common-mode
noise rejection (i.e., the converted result will correspond to the
differential voltage between the two inputs). The absolute voltage
on both inputs must lie between +0.5 V and VDD –1.75 V.

The analog input signal to the AD7741/AD7742 is continu-

pling rate is set by a master clock input that may be supplied
externally or by a crystal-controlled on-chip clock oscillator.
However, the input signal is buffered on-chip before being ap-
plied to the sampling capacitor of the modulator. This isolates
the sampling capacitor charging currents from the analog input
pins.

AD7741/AD7742
The digital data that represents the analog input voltage is con-
tained in the duty cycle of the pulse train appearing at the out-
put of the comparator. The output is a fixed-width pulse whose
frequency depends on the analog input signal. The input voltage
is offset internally so that a full-scale input gives an output fre-
quency of 0.45 fCLKIN and zero-scale input gives an output fre-
quency of 0.05 fCLKIN. The output allows simple interfacing to
either standard logic families or opto-couplers. The clock high
period controls the pulsewidth of the frequency output. The
pulse is initiated by the edge of the clock signal. The delay time
between the edge of the clock and the edge of the frequency
output is typically 9 ns. Figure 7 shows the waveform of this
frequency output.

The on-chip oscillator circuit also has a start-up time associated
with it before it oscillates at its correct frequency and correct
voltage levels. The typical start-up time for the circuit is 5 ms
(with a 6.144 MHz crystal).
After power-up, or if there is a step change in input voltage,
there is a settling time that must elapse before valid data is
obtained. This is typically 2 CLKIN cycles on the AD7742 and
10 CLKIN cycles on the AD7741.
The AD7741/AD7742 master clock appears on the CLKOUT
pin of the device. The maximum recommended load on this pin
is one CMOS load. When using a crystal to generate the AD7741/
AD7742 clock it may be desirable to then use this clock as the
clock source for the system. In this case it is recommended that
the CLKOUT signal be buffered with a CMOS buffer before
being applied to the rest of the circuit.

The AD7741/AD7742 performs conversion relative to an applied
reference voltage that allows easy interfacing to ratiometric
systems. This reference may be applied using the internal 2.5 V
bandgap reference. For the AD7741, this is done by simply
leaving REFIN/OUT unconnected. For the AD7742, REFIN is
tied to REFOUT. Alternatively, an external reference, e.g.,
REF192 or AD780, may be used. For the AD7741, this is con-
nected to REFIN/OUT and will overdrive the internal refer-
ence. For the AD7742, it is connected directly to the REFIN
pin.

Clock Generation
As distinct from the asynchronous VFCs which rely on the stability
of an external capacitor to set their full-scale frequency, the
AD7741/AD7742 uses an external clock to define the full-scale
output frequency. The result is a more stable, more linear trans-
fer function and also allows the designer to determine the sys-
tem stability and drift based upon the external clock selected. A
crystal oscillator may also be used if desired.
While the internal reference will be adequate for most applica-
tions, power supply rejection and overall regulation may be
improved through the use of an external precision reference.
The process of selecting an external voltage reference should
include consideration of drive capability, initial error, noise and
drift characteristics. A suitable choice would be the AD780 or
REF192.
The AD7741/AD7742 requires a master clock input, which may
be an external CMOS-compatible clock signal applied to the
CLKIN pin (CLKOUT not used). Alternatively, a crystal of the
correct frequency can be connected between CLKIN and
CLKOUT, when the clock circuit will function as a crystal
controlled oscillator. Figure 8 shows a simple model of the on-
chip oscillator.
Power-Down Mode
The low power standby mode is initiated by taking the PD pin
low, which shuts down most of the analog and digital circuitry.
This reduces the power consumption to 185 µW max.

The basic connection diagram for the part is shown in Figure 9.
In the connection diagram shown, the AD7742 analog inputs
are configured as fully differential, bipolar inputs with a gain of
1. A quartz crystal provides the master clock source for the part.
It may be necessary to connect capacitors (C1 and C2 in the
diagram) on the crystal to ensure that it does not oscillate at over-
tones of its fundamental operating frequency. The values of ca-
pacitors will vary depending on the manufacturer’s specifications.

The clock frequency and the gate time determine the resolution
of such an ADC. If 12-bit resolution is required and fCLKIN is
5 MHz (therefore, fOUT max is 2.25 MHz), the minimum gate
time required is calculated as follows:

A/D Conversion Techniques Using the AD7741/AD7742
When used as an ADC, VFCs provide certain advantages in-
cluding accuracy, linearity and being inherently monotonic. The
AD7741/AD7742 has a true integrating input which smooths
out noise peaks.
N is the total number of codes for a given resolution; 4096 for
12 bits
minimum gate time = (4096/2.25 × 106) sec = 1.820 ms.
Since TGATE × fOUT max = number of counts at full scale, a
faster conversion with the same resolution can be performed
with a higher fOUT max. This high fOUT max (3 MHz) is a main
feature of the AD7741/AD7742.
The most popular method of using a VFC in an A/D system is
to count the output pulses of fOUT for a fixed gate interval (see
Figure 10). This fixed gate interval should be generated by
dividing down the clock input frequency. This ensures that any
errors due to clock jitter or clock frequency drift are eliminated.
The ratio of the fOUT to the clock frequency is what is important
here, not the absolute value of fOUT. The frequency division can
be done by a binary counter where fCLKIN is the CLK input.
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 ADC.
The inherent monotonicity of the transfer function and wide
range of input clock frequencies allows the conversion time and
resolution to be optimized for specific applications.
Figure 11 shows the waveforms of fCLKIN, fOUT and the Gate
signal. A counter counts the rising edges of fOUT while the Gate
signal is high. Since the gate interval is not synchronized with
fOUT, there is a possibility of a counting inaccuracy. Depending
on fOUT, an error of one count may occur.
There is another parameter is taken into account when choosing
the length of the gate interval. Because the integration period of
the system is equal to the gate interval, any interfering signal can
be rejected by counting for an integer number of periods of the
interfering signal. For example, a gate interval of 100 ms will
give normal-mode rejection of 50 Hz and 60 Hz signals.

AD7741/AD7742
Power Supply Bypassing and Grounding
Isolation Applications
In any circuit where accuracy is important, careful consideration
of the power supply and ground return layout helps to ensure
the rated performance. The printed circuit board housing the
AD7741/AD7742 should be designed so the analog and digital
sections are separated and confined to certain areas of the board.
In addition to analog-to-digital conversion, the AD7741/AD7742
can be used in isolated analog signal transmission applications.
Due to noise, safety requirements or distance, it may be neces-
sary to isolate the AD7741/AD7742 from any controlling
circuitry. This can easily be achieved by using opto-isolators,
which will provide isolation in excess of 3 kV.
To minimize capacitive coupling between them, digital and
analog ground planes should only be joined in one place, close
to the DUT and should not overlap.
Opto-electronic coupling is a popular method of isolated signal
coupling. In this type of device, the signal is coupled from an
input LED to an output photo-transistor, with light as the con-
necting medium. This technique allows dc to be transmitted, is
extremely useful in overcoming ground loops between equip-
ment, and is applicable over a wide range of speeds and power.
Avoid running digital lines under the device as these will couple
noise onto the die. The analog ground plane should be allowed
to run under the AD7742 to avoid noise coupling. The power
supply lines to the AD7742 should use as large a trace as pos-
sible to provide low impedance paths and reduce the effects of
glitches on the power supply line. Fast switching signals like
clocks should be shielded with digital ground to avoid radiating
noise to other parts of the board and clock signals should never
be run near analog inputs. Avoid crossover of digital and analog
signals. Traces on opposite sides of the board should run at
right angles to each other. This reduces the effect of feedthrough
through the board. A microstrip technique is by far the best but
is not always possible with a double-sided board. In this tech-
nique, the component side of the board is dedicated to the ground
plane while the signal traces are placed on the solder side.
The analog voltage to be transmitted is converted to a pulse
train using the VFC. An opto-isolator circuit is used to couple
this pulse train across an isolation barrier using light as the
connecting medium. The input LED of the isolator is driven
from the output of the AD7741/AD7742. At the receiver side,
the output transistor is operated in the photo-transistor mode.
The pulse train can be reconverted to an analog voltage using a
frequency-to-voltage converter; alternatively, the pulse train can
be fed into a counter to generate a digital signal.
The analog and digital sections of the AD7741/AD7742 have
been designed to allow operation from a single-ended power
source, simplifying its use with isolated power supplies.
Good decoupling is also important. All analog supplies should
be decoupled to GND with surface mount capacitors, 10 µF in
parallel with 0.1 µF located as close to the package as possible,
ideally right up against the device. The lead lengths on the by-
pass capacitor should be as short as possible. It is essential that
these capacitors be placed physically close to the AD7741/AD7742
to minimize the inductance of the PCB trace between the ca-
pacitor and the supply pin. The 10 µF are the tantalum bead
type and are located in the vicinity of the VFC to reduce low-
frequency ripple. The 0.1 µF capacitors should have low Effec-
tive Series Resistance (ESR) and Effective Series Inductance
(ESI), such as the common ceramic types, which provide a low
impedance path to ground at high frequencies to handle tran-
sient currents due to internal logic switching. Additionally, it is
beneficial to have large capacitors (> 47 µF) located at the point
where the power connects to the PCB.
Figure 12 shows a general purpose VFC circuit using a low cost
opto-isolator. A +5 V power supply is assumed for both the
isolated (+5 V isolated) and local (+5 V local) supplies.
