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 ground-
referenced 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.
