FEATURES
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 stan-
dard pin configurations. They use a
unique control transformer algorithm
that provides inherently higher accu-
racy and jitter-free output. Utilizing a
type II servo loop, these converters
have no velocity lag up to the speci-
fied tracking rate, and output data is
always fresh and continuously avail-
able. Each unit is fully trimmed and
requires no adjustment or field cali-
bration.
APPLICATIONS
These converters may be used wher-
ever analog angle data from a syn-
chro or resolver must be rapidly and
accurately converted to digital 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, commercial and military
applications. Military ground support
and avionics uses include ordnance
control, radar tracking systems, navi-
gation and collision avoidance sys-
tems.

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 waveforms. 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 0.5 to 1.5 µsec long.

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 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 treat-
ed 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
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 addition-
al error due to the effect on SIN/COS ratio relationship.
