DESCRIPTION
The SDC-630/632/634 A/ST series are low cost, low profile Synchro-
to-Digital (S/D) and Resolver-to-Digital (R/D) tracking converters with
standard pin configurations. They use a unique control transformer
algorithm that provides inherently higher accuracy and jitter-free out-
put. Utilizing a type II servo loop, these converters have no velocity
lag up to the specified tracking rate, and output data is always fresh
and continuously available. Each unit is fully trimmed and requires no
adjustment or field calibration.
APPLICATIONS
These converters may be used wherever analog angle data from a
synchro or resolver must be rapidly and accurately converted to digi-
tal form for transmission, storage or analysis. Because these units are
extremely rugged and stable, and meet the requirements on MIL-
STD-202E, they are suitable for the most severe industrial, commer-
cial and military applications. Military ground support and avionics
uses include ordnance control, radar tracking systems, navigation
and collision avoidance systems.

POWER SUPPLIES
The main power supplies can vary over the specified ranges with
no change in converter specifications, except for a proportional
change in maximum tracking rates.
When testing or evaluating the converters, it is advisable to limit
the current in each of the supplies. Set each current limit 50%
greater than the maximum current listed for that supply as listed
in TABLE 1.

TIMING
FIGURE 2 shows the converter timing waveform. Whenever an
input angle change occurs, the converter changes the digital
angle in 1 LSB steps, and generates a Converter Busy (CB)
pulse. The CB is a positive pulse 0.2 to 1.5 µsec long, or 0.375µs
nominal. Data changes on the leading edge of the CB pulse, and
data can be transferred 0.5 µsec after the leading edge.

The simplest method of interfacing with a computer is to transfer
data at a fixed time interval after the Inhibit is applied. The con-
verter will ignore an Inhibit during the “busy” interval until that
interval is over. Timing is as follows: (a) apply the Inhibit, (b) wait
0.5 µsec, (c) transfer the data, (d) release the Inhibit. The Inhibit
line has no effect on converter tracking.
The closest available high grade resistor with a low temperature
coefficient of resistance should be used, and the three resistors
should be as closely matched to each other as possible. In gen-
eral, a 0.1% difference will introduce 1.7 arc minutes of addi-
tional error due to the effect on SIN/COS ratio relationship.
The ABSOLUTE value of the resistor is not critical.
In the case of the RESOLVER version (RDC), the equation is:
R
sig
= 2.2k (New L-L Voltage – Standard Unit L-L Voltage)
The calculated resistors are connected in series with S1 and S2
respectively. Note only two resistors are required. The required
resistance matching and its effect on accuracy, is the same as for
a synchro input, see FIGURE 3. The Reference Voltage is treated
in the same manner, but the value is not critical.
R
REF
= 2.8k (New Reference – Standard Reference)
For this use a 10% tolerance resistor is adequate.
SIGNAL INPUTS
To prevent damage to the inputs, the maximum steady-state volt-
age should not exceed the specified input voltage by more than
30%.
ACCOMMODATING NON-STANDARD INPUT
VOLTAGES (A ONLY)
The signal and reference input levels can be resistively scaled to
accommodate non-standard voltages, see FIGURE 3. Select a
converter that is the next lower standard voltage, and the voltage
is then scaled up by using resistors in series with the synchro
and/or reference inputs.
For a synchro input (SDC), a resistor R
sig
is added in series
with S1, S2 and S3 which is determined as follows:
R
sig
= 1.1k (New L-L Voltage – Standard Unit L-L Voltage)
That is, 1.1k for each volt above the design voltage level of
the standard unit.
Example: An SDC-634A-L (11.8 V) is to be used at 50 V L-L.
R
sig
= 1.1k (50 – 11.8) = 42.2k

BUILT-IN-TEST (BIT)
Note: Special Order Request
The Built-ln-Test output (BIT) monitors the level of error from the
demodulator. This signal is the difference in the input and output
angles and ideally should be zero. However, if it exceeds approx-
imately 100 LSBs (of the selected resolution) the logic level at
BIT will change from a logic 1 to a logic 0.
A 500ms delay occurs before the excessive error bit becomes
active. The dynamic delay is responsive to the active filler loop.
This condition will occur during a large step and reset after the
converter settles out. BIT will also change to logic 0 for an over-
velocity condition, because the converter loop cannot maintain
input/output or if the converter malfunctions where it cannot
maintain the loop at a null.
BIT will also be set low for a detected total Loss-of-Signal (LOS).
The BIT signal may pulse during certain error conditions (i.e.,
converter spin around or signal amplitude on threshold of LOS).
LOS will be detected if both sin and cos input voltages are less
than 800 mV peak. The LOS has a filter on it to filter out the refer-
ence. Since the lowest specified frequency is 47hz (-27ms) the
filter must have a time constant long enough to filter this out. Time
constants of 50ms or more are possible.
Dimensions are in inches (mm).
