Let me jump in here.

We do have this already: the PLL A196 is a frequency to CV converter. 
The low pass out is the CV-out. But I think the A196 is a too rough / 
too hardcore implementation of the standard CD4046 PLL chip and not 
really usable for Fq2CV.


So we want something better. But then we have to decide for which task 
it is intended because there are different approaches how to achieve a 
fq2cv conversion.

I could imagine a clock-to-CV converter which does not have to be the 
fastest, but should be finally quite exact. Typical example it could be 
used to make the BBD-modules controlled by the tempo, or LFOs in syc 
with the tempo. These can follow the incoming frequency over several 
ocataves. But they have to rely on a dedicated waveform of the incoming 
signal (best: rectangle).

The other usage might be an instrument to CV voncerter, like in the Korg 
MS-03 or the Roland SPV-355; These were intended to follow a melody 
quite fast, and did not have to be very exact - and they only had a 
usable range of around one and a half octaves. If outside you had to 
adjust them again. These can handle all kinds of (monophonic) signals 
and are not very dependant on the waveform.

I think those are two different (possible) modules.
