description
The LM2907 and LM2917 are monolithic frequency-to-voltage converters. Each device has an output circuit
that activates loads such as relays and lamps when the input frequency reaches or exceeds a selected rate.
The converter (tachometer) section consists of a comparator driving a charge pump and offers frequency
doubling for low ripple, full input protection in 8-pin versions, and an output swing to ground for a zero-frequency
input. The output section consists of an operational amplifier, normally operating as a comparator, that drives
an output transistor with both the collector and emitter floating. The circuit can either sink or source 40 mA of
load current.
Two basic configurations are offered: 8-pin devices and 14-pin devices. Each 8-pin version has a groundreferenced tachometer input and an internal connection between the tachometer output and the operational
amplifier input. The 8-pin versions are suited to single-speed or single-frequency switching or fully buffered
frequency-to-voltage conversion applications. The more versatile 14-pin versions provide differential
tachometer inputs and uncommitted operational amplifier inputs. The tachometer input can be floated, and the
operational amplifier becomes suitable for active filter conditioning of the tachometer output.
The LM2917 has an active shunt regulator connected across the power leads. The regulator clamps the supply
voltage so that stable frequency-to-voltage and frequency-to-current conversions are possible with any supply
voltage and a suitable resistor.
The LM2907 and LM2917 are designed for operation from – 40°C to 85°C.

SLFS011A – MARCH 1986 – REVISED JULY 1993
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The LM2907 and LM2917 frequency-to-voltage converter circuits provide maximum versatility with a minimum
of external parts. The first stage of each device is a differential comparator. The single-input 8-pin versions have
one input grounded so that an input signal must swing above and below GND and exceed the input thresholds
to produce an output. This version is specifically for magnetic variable-reluctance pickups, which typically
provide a single-ended ac output. These single-ended inputs are fully protected against voltage swings to
± 28 V, which are easily attained by this type of pickup.
The differential-input 14-pin versions provide the option of setting the input reference level, maintaining
hysteresis around that level to provide excellent noise rejection in any application. The input protection is
removed in the 14-pin versions. Therefore, neither of the differential inputs should exceed the limits of the supply
voltage. An input must not go below GND without a resistance in the lead to limit the current that flows in the
episubstrate diode. The charge-pump circuit that follows the input state produces a dc output voltage
proportional to the input frequency. The charge-pump circuit (see Figures 1 and 2) consists of a timing capacitor
(C1), an output resistor (R1), and an integrating or filter capacitor (C2). When the input changes state (due to
a suitable zero crossing or differential voltage on the input), the timing capacitor is either charged or discharged
linearly with a constant current of 200 µA through CAP1 between two voltages whose difference is VCC /2. Within
one-half cycle of the input frequency or a time equal to 1/2f, the change in charge on C1 is equal to (VCC /2)C1.
The average amount of current pumped into or out of the capacitor is:
CAP1 current (average)
+ QT + C1 • V2CC
• 2f
+ VCC • f • C1
The output of the charge pump accurately mirrors the CAP1 current into the load resistor (R1) connected to
CPO. If the pulses of current are integrated with a filter capacitor, the output voltage is the average CAP1 current
times R1 and the total equation becomes:
VO
+ VCC • f
• C1 • R1 • K
where K is the gain factor, which is typically one.
The size of C2 is dependent only on the amount of ripple allowable and the required response time.
selection of R1, C1, and C2
To achieve optimum performance, there are some limitations to be considered in the selection of R1 and C1.
The timing capacitor controls the RC time and provides internal compensation for the charge-pump circuit. For
very accurate operation, it should be 100 pF or greater. Smaller values, especially at lower temperatures, can
cause an error current through R1. VO/R1 must be less than or equal to the output current at CPO, which is fixed
typically at 200 µA. If R1 is too large, it becomes a significant fraction of the output impedance at CPO, which
degrades the linearity. In addition, ripple voltage must be considered when selecting R1. The size of C2 is
directly affected by the size of R1. An expression that describes the ripple content at CPO is:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
R1 cannot be chosen independent of ripple because response time or the time it takes VO to stabilize at a new
level increases as the size of C2 increases. A compromise between ripple, response time, and linearity must
be chosen carefully. As a final consideration, the maximum attainable input frequency is determined by VCC,
C1, and Icap (current through CAP1).

zener regulator options (LM2917)
For those applications in which an output voltage or current must be obtained independent of supply voltage
variations, the LM2917 can be used. The most important factor in selecting a dropping resistor for the
unregulated supply is that the frequency-to-voltage converter circuit and the operational amplifier alone require
approximately 3 mA at the voltage level set by the zener diode. At low supply voltages, there must be some
current flowing in the resistor above the 3-mA circuit current to operate the regulator. As an example, if the supply
voltage varies between 9 V and 16 V, a resistance of 470 Ω minimizes the zener voltage variation to typically
160 mV. If the resistance goes under 400 Ω or above 600 Ω, the zener variation quickly rises above 200 mV
for the same input variation.
