APPLICATIONS
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.
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.
The most popular method of using a VFC in an A/D system is
to count the output pulses of f
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 f

be done by a binary counter where f
Figure 11 shows the waveforms of f
signal. A counter counts the rising edges of f
signal is high. Since the gate interval is not synchronized with

The clock frequency and the gate time determine the resolution
of such an ADC. If 12-bit resolution is required and f
5 MHz (therefore, f
time required is calculated as follows:
N counts at Full Scale (2.25 MHz) will take
N is the total number of codes for a given resolution; 4096 for
12 bits
Since T
faster conversion with the same resolution can be performed
with a higher f
feature of the AD7741/AD7742.
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.
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.
