Norton_ultra_linear_tuzo_decade_VCO

Published:2009/7/25 2:13:00 Author:Jessie | From:SeekIC

In this circuit, a Norton is used to drive a fast PLL to form a VCO (which is essentially a form of V/F converter described in chapter 12). The frequency range is from 50 kHz to 5 MHz. Figure 11-23B shows the linearity error over the frequency range. To calibrate, monitor the output with a frequency counter, apply the voltages shown at VIN, and adjust both the zero and full-scale pots for the correct frequency.
