is DDC's proven RD-19230FX monolithic converter.
The card offers programmable selection of High or Low Bandwidth
range. Resolution can be programmed for 10, 12, 14, or 16-bit, with
1.3 Arc minute accuracy. A wide reference input voltage range is sup-
ported (see the specification page). The internal synthesized refer-
ence corrects for rotor-to-stator phase shift errors of up to 45°.

If the frequency is between 47 and 1 kHz, then there will be 1 LSB of jitter.
Direct input requires SIN input, COS input, and a common ground.
Signal input option #4 (90V Synchro 60Hz) not recommended for use in 16 bit resolution mode due to excessive jitter.

INTRODUCTION
The SB-36410IX PMC card contains either 4 or 8 channels of
Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital converters with independent refer-
ence signals. PMC cards are intended to be used as a daughter
board to be parallel mounted on a host VME or cPCI board. The
PMC card uses the "VME or cPCI" PCI bus for data transfer.
The heart of each channel is DDC's RD-19230FX converter,
which has a long history of proven performance. For complete
converter specifications, the RD-19230 data sheet can be down-
loaded from the DDC web site.
Transformer (CT) compares the analog input signals (
θ
) with the
digital output (
φ
), resulting in an error signal proportional to the
sine of the angular difference. The CT uses a combination of
amplifiers, switches, logic and capacitors in precision ratios to
perform the calculation.
The converter accuracy is limited by the precision of the comput-
ing elements in the CT. Instead of a traditional precision resistor
network, this converter uses capacitors with precisely controlled
ratios. Sampling techniques are used to eliminate errors due to
voltage drift and op-amp offsets.
The error processing is performed using the industry standard
technique for Type II tracking converters. The DC error is inte-
grated yielding a velocity voltage which in turn drives a voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO). This VCO is an incremental integra-
tor (constant voltage input to position rate output) which, togeth-
er with the velocity integrator, forms a Type II servo feedback
loop. A lead in the frequency response is introduced to stabilize
the loop and another lag at higher frequency is introduced to
reduce the gain and ripple at the carrier frequency and above.
The settings of the various error processor gains and break fre-
quencies are done with external resistors and capacitors so that
the converter loop dynamics can be easily controlled by the
user.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Each channel utilizes a mixed signal CMOS IC containing analog
input and digital output sections. Precision analog circuitry is
merged with digital logic to form a complete high-performance
tracking resolver-to-digital converter. For user flexibility and con-
venience, the converter bandwidth, dynamics, and velocity scal-
ing are externally set with passive components.
FIGURE 1 shows the Functional Block Diagram for the
SB-36410IX card. The analog conversion electronics require
±5VDC power supplies. The -5VDC is supplied by the on-chip
charge pump. This means that only +5VDC and +3.3VDC are
required for the SB-36410IX card. The converter front-end con-
sists of differential sine and cosine input amplifiers which are

TRANSFER FUNCTION AND BODE PLOT

The components of gain coefficient are error gradient, integrator
gain, and VCO gain. These can be broken down as follows:
SYNTHESIZED REFERENCE
The synthesized reference eliminates errors due to phase shift
between the reference and the signal inputs up to 45°. Quadrature
voltages in a resolver or synchro are by definition the resulting
90° fundamental signal in the nulled out error voltage (e) in the
converter. Due to the inductive nature of resolvers and synchros,
their output signals lead the reference input signal (RH and RL).
When an uncompensated reference signal is used to demodu-
late the control transformer’s output, Quadrature voltages are not
completely eliminated. Therefore this is the perfect solution to
combat phase shift error to 45°.

FIGURE 4. BODE PLOTS
Systems using the 90 V line-to-line inputs may have voltage
transients which exceed the maximum specification for the thin-
film resistor network (500 V). The 90 V may be derived from
poorly regulated 115 V Power Supplies, which have various high
current loads. These loads switch on and off, thus causing spikes
and transients in regulation. These transients can destroy the
input thin-film resistor network. Therefore, 90 V line-to-line solid-
state input (DDC-49590) thin-film may be protected by installing
voltage suppressors as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Voltage
transients are also likely to occur whenever the synchro or
resolver input is switched on and off. For instance, a 1000 V
transient can be generated when the primary of a control trans-
mitter (CX) or torque transmitter (TX) driving a synchro or
resolver input is opened.
