1. Device Overview & Functionality

️· What it is: The AD650 is a voltage-to-frequency (V-to-F) converter. It can be configured as either a unipolar or bipolar converter.
️· Core Operation (Unipolar): The input voltage is converted to an equivalent current, which is balanced by timed bursts of a 1mA internal current source. The number of bursts directly corresponds to the input voltage, resulting in a linear V-to-F conversion. The frequency is available at an open-collector transistor.
️· Charge Balance: The conversion relies on a charge balance principle, where the internal current source delivers precisely defined packets of charge to generate pulses.

2. Key Specifications & Ratings

️· Absolute Maximum Ratings:
- Total Supply Voltage: 36V

- Open Collector Output Voltage (above digital ground): 36V
- Maximum Current (short circuit to ground): 50mA
️· ESD Caution: The device is ESD-sensitive. Proper precautions are required to avoid damage.

4. Circuit Operation & Key Components

️· Integration & Reset: The converter works in alternating “integrate” and “reset” modes. During the integrate phase, the op-amp's output current is diverted to the op-amp’s summing junction. During reset, the output goes low and the internal current source is used.
️· Components:
- CINT: Integration Capacitor
- COS: One-shot Capacitor (determines the time period of the one-shot)
- Internal 1mA Current Source: Provides the charge packets for frequency generation.
