Analog Devices AD7741/AD7742 Voltage‑to‑Frequency Converter Datasheet
The AD7741 and AD7742 are synchronous voltage‑to‑frequency converters (VFCs) from Analog Devices. The AD7741 provides a single‑ended input in an 8‑lead package, while the AD7742 offers two differential or three pseudo‑differential inputs in a 16‑lead package. Both devices operate from a single +5 V supply, include an on‑chip 2.5 V reference, and feature power‑down capability.
The datasheet details functional block diagrams, pin functions, timing characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, and ordering information. It also defines the input ranges, output frequency limits, and performance parameters such as integral nonlinearity and power‑supply rejection.
