Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Frequency deviation (Hz)

Total frequency deviation across the tuning range.

Control voltage range (V)

Control voltage span producing the deviation.

Compute voltage-controlled oscillator gain from its tuning frequency deviation and control voltage range. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

VCO gain (Hz/V)

Sensitivity of output frequency to control voltage.

• VCO gain and tuning sensitivity are operating-point quantities that vary across tuning voltage, frequency, supply, temperature, load, and process. Phase noise, pushing, pulling, linearity, and tuning range require the device curves.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.

• VCO Tuning Sensitivity

  Average VCO frequency tuning sensitivity between two measured voltage-frequency operating points.

• Chopper Amplifier Offset

  Input-referred residual DC offset of a chopper amplifier from its zero-input output offset and closed-loop voltage gain.

• Equalizer Boost Db

  Convert an equalizer's high-frequency-to-reference voltage gain ratio to decibels; both gains must use the same amplitude convention.
