This document summarizes various linear-digital integrated circuits (ICs). It discusses comparators, digital-analog and analog-digital converters, timers, voltage-controlled oscillators, and phase-locked loop circuits. Comparators compare input voltages and output a high or low voltage. Digital converters translate between digital and analog formats while timers produce timed output pulses. Voltage-controlled oscillators vary output frequency with input voltage and phase-locked loops synchronize an oscillator's frequency to an input reference signal.

3. Comparator Circuit
The operation is a basic comparison. The
output swings between its maximum and
minimum voltage, depending upon whether one
input (Vin) is greater or less than the other (Vref).
The output is always a square wave where:
The maximum high output voltage is +VSAT.
The minimum low output voltage is VSAT.

4. Noninverting Op-Amp Comparator
For a noninverting op-amp comparator:
The output goes to +VSAT when
input Vi is greater than the
reference voltage.
The output goes to VSAT when
input Vi is less than the
reference voltage.
Example:
Vref in this circuit is +6V (taken from the voltage divider)
≒ +VSAT = +V, or +12V
VSAT = V or 12V
When Vi is greater than +6V the output swings to +12V and the LED goes on.
When V is less than +6V the 12V off
Vi output is at and the LED goes off.

10. Analog-to-Digital Conversion
Dual Slope Conversion
The analog input voltage is applied to an integrator or ramp-generator
circuit.
The digital output is obtained from a digital counter that is operated during
both positive and negative slope (ramp) intervals of the integrator.

11. Dual Slope Conversion
Rising Slope
For a fixed interval the analog
voltage is applied to the integrator.
The integrator output rises to some
positive level. This positive voltage is
applied to a comparator. At the end of
the fixed interval, the counter is reset
to 0. An electronic switch connects the
integrator input to a fixed input or
reference voltage.
Falling Slope
The integrator output decreases at a fixed rate. The counter advances during this
time. When the integrator output (connected to the comparator input) falls below
the reference level of the comparator comparator, control logic stops the counter counter.The digital
counter output is the digital conversion of the analog input.

12. Ladder Network Conversion
A digital counter advances
from zero while a ladder
network converts the
digital count to a staircase
analog voltage.
When the staircase voltage
into the comparator equals
the analog input voltage,
the counter stops.
The last count is the digital
conversion of the analog
input.

20. Basic Operation of the Phase-Locked Loop
Three operating modes:
Lock
fi = fVCO
Tracking
fi fVCO, but the fVCO adjusts until fVCO= fi
Out-of-Lock
fi fVCO, and they never will be the same

21. Phase-Locked Loop: Lock Mode
The input frequency and the
internal VCO output
frequency are applied to the
phase comparator.
If they are the same, the phase
comparator output voltage
indicates no error.
This no-error voltage is
filtered and amplified before it
is made available to the
output.
The no-error voltage is also applied to the internal VCO input to maintain the
VCOs output frequency.

22. Phase-Locked Loop: Tracking Mode
If the input frequency does not
equal the VCO frequency then the
phase comparator outputs an
error voltage.
This error voltage is filtered and
amplified and made available to
the output.
The error voltage is also applied to
the VCO input. This causes the
VCO to change output frequency.
This looping continues until the VCO has adjusted to the new input frequency
and they are equal again.

23. Phase-Locked Loop: Out-of-Lock Mode
If the input frequency does not
equal the VCO frequency and
the resulting error voltage
does not cause the VCO to
catch up to the input
frequency, then the system is
out of lock. The VCO will
never equal the input
frequency.

24. Phase-Locked Loop: Frequency Ranges
Lock RangeThe range of input frequencies for
which the VCO will track.
Capture Range A narrow range of frequencies
into which the input frequency must fall before the
VCO can track. If the input frequency falls out of
the lock range it must first enter into the capture
range.
