LM2917

Overview

The LM2907, LM2917 series are monolithic frequency to voltage converters with a high gain op amp/comparator designed to operate a relay, lamp, or other load when the input frequency reaches or exceeds a selected rate. The tachometer uses a charge pump technique and offers frequency doubling for low ripple, full input protection in two versions (LM2907-8, LM2917-8) and its output swings to ground for a zero frequency input.

  • Output swings to ground for zero frequency input
  • Easy to use; VOUT = fIN x VCC x R1 x C1
  • Only one RC network provides frequency doubling
  • Zener regulator on chip allows accurate and stable frequency to voltage or current conversion (LM2917) Features
  • Ground referenced tachometer input interfaces directly with variable reluctance m
