[sdiy] (Low) frequency to voltage conversion

[J. Verhoeven]

Sending this to the list as well, sigh :-)
In the meantime, I have found the pictures I made of my RS-30, and it is LM2917N-8. Let me know off-list if you are interested to receive the pictures, could give some hints considering use of the IC in a S-DIY context.

Best regards,

Jarno.

Well the Analogue Systems RS-30 uses a LM IC to do Frequency to Voltage conversion, can't recall the exact type though. I have been looking at some of the Burr Brown IC's some of them seem have pretty good (relevant) specs.
Since that time though, I have acquired a midi pickup on my bass, so the need evaporated :-)

Best regards,

Jarno.
