Voltage-to-frequency (V-F) conversion is achieved with high linearity (0.02 percent) using a precise multivibrator with an 80-dB dynamic range. The IC operates from a single, low-current supply and can accept millivolt signals. A unique thermometer output permits direct conversion of temperature to frequency.
