DESCRIPTION
The SD-14620 Series converters are small, low-cost, two-channel
hybrid Synchro- or Resolver-to-Digital converters based on a single-
chip monolithic. The SD-14620X“S” option offers synthesized refer-
ence circuitry to correct for phase shifts between the reference and
signal inputs. The two channels are independent but share the digital
output and +5 VDC power pins. The package is 54-pin ceramic, yet is
the size of a 28-pin DDIP.
Resolution programming allows selection of 10-, 12-, 14- or 16-bit
modes. This feature allows selection of either low-resolution for fast
tracking or higher resolution for higher accuracy.
The velocity outputs (VEL A, VEL B) of the SD-14620 Series, which can
be used to replace a tachometer, are ±4 V signals referenced to analog
ground.The SD-14620 Series also offers Built-In-Test outputs for each
channel (BIT-A, BIT-B). The converters are available with operating
temperature ranges of 0°C to +70°C, -40°C to +85°C and -55°C to
+125°C. MIL-PRF-38534 processing is available.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The SD-14620 Series of converters are based upon a single chip
CMOS custom monolithic. Using the latest technology, precision ana-
log circuitry is merged with digital logic to form a complete, high-per-
formance tracking Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital (S/D, R/D) converter.
GENERAL SET-UP CONSIDERATIONS
The following recommendations should be considered when
connecting the SD-14620 Series converters:
1) The +5 VDC power supply input is on pin 18. For performance
with the lowest amount of noise it is recommended that a
10
µF/10
VDC (or larger) tantalum filter capacitor be connect-
ed to ground (pin 19) near the converter package.
2) Direct inputs are referenced to Analog Ground (A GND).
Connections should be made as close to the converter pack-
age as possible to minimize noise. Channel A should be ref-
erenced to A GND-A (pin 5) and Channel B should be refer-
enced to A GND-B (pin 32).
3) A 47
µF/10
V tantalum filter capacitor must be added externally
from pin 52 (channel “A” filter point) to pin 19 (ground). In addi-
tion, a 47
µF/10
Vdc tantalum filter capacitor must be added
externally from pin 24 (channel “B” filter point) to pin 19 (ground).
CONVERTER OPERATION
FIGURE 1 is the Functional Block Diagram of the SD-14620
Series. The converter operates with a single +5 VDC power sup-
ply and each channel internally generates a negative voltage of
approximately 5 volts. These negative voltages are connected to
pin 52 (channel “A” filter point) and pin 24 (channel “B” filter
point) — see GENERAL SETUP CONSIDERATIONS.
The converter is made up of three main sections; an input front-
end, an error processor, and a digital interface. The converter
front-end differs for synchro, resolver and direct inputs. An elec-
tronic Scott-T is used for synchro inputs, a resolver conditioner
for resolver inputs, and a sine and cosine voltage follower for
direct inputs. These amplifiers feed the high accuracy Control
Transformer (CT). Its other input is the 16-bit digital angle
φ.
Its
output is an analog error angle, or difference angle, between the
two inputs. The CT performs the ratiometric trigonometric com-
putation of SINθCOSφ - COSθSINφ = SIN(θ -
φ)
using amplifiers,
switches, logic, and capacitors in precision ratios. The converter
accuracy is limited by the precision of the computing elements in
the CT. For enhanced accuracy, the CT in these converters use
capacitors in precision ratios, instead of the more conventional
precision resistor ratios. Capacitors that are used as computing
elements with op-amps are sampled at a high rate to eliminate
drift and the op-amp offsets.
The error processing is performed using the industry standard
technique for type II tracking R/D converters. The DC error is
integrated yielding a velocity voltage which in turn drives a volt-
age-controlled oscillator (VCO). This VCO is an incremental inte-
grator (constant-voltage input to position-rate output) that,
together with the velocity integrator, forms a type II servo feed-
back loop. A lead in the frequency response is introduced to sta-
bilize the loop and a lag at a higher frequency is introduced to
reduce the gain and ripple at the carrier frequency and above.
Dynamic accuracy may be degraded in applications with a high
system bandwidth. This dynamic accuracy error is usually not an
issue when using the device’s analog velocity output or position
output data in a control-loop because they are inherently filtered
due to comparatively low bandwidths in most applications.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
PROGRAMMABLE RESOLUTION
Resolution is controlled by pins 49 and 50 for channel A; pins 21
and 22 for channel B. The resolution can be changed during con-
verter operation, so the appropriate resolution and velocity
dynamics can be changed as needed. To insure that a race con-
dition does not exist between counting and changing the resolu-
tion, the resolution control is latched internally. Refer to TABLE 2
for Channel A and B resolution control.
