DESCRIPTION
The RD-19240 is a low-cost, versatile, state-of-the-art 14-bit monolithic
Resolver-to-Digital (R/D) Converter. This single chip converter offers pro-
grammable features such as resolution, bandwidth, velocity output scal-
ing, and encoder emulation.
Resolution programming allows selection of 10, 12, or 14 bits, with accu-
racies to 8 minutes. This feature combines the high tracking rate of a 10-
bit converter with the precision and low-speed velocity resolution of a 14-
bit converter in one package. The parallel digital data and the internal
encoder emulation signals (A QUAD B) have independent resolution con-
trol. Internal encoder emulation permits inhibiting (freezing) the parallel
digital data without interrupting the A and B outputs.
The internal Synthesized Reference section eliminates errors due to quadra-
ture voltage, ensuring operation with a phase shift up to 45°. The velocity out-
put is a 4 V signal referenced to ground, and can be used to replace a tachome-
ter. The full-scale velocity value is set by the user with a single resistor.
The converter provides the option of using a second set of filter compo-
nents which can be used in dual bandwidth or switch-on-the-fly applica-
tions. The RD-19240 converter is available with operating temperature
ranges of -40° to +85°C or -40° to +125°C.

applications include motor control, factory automation, hybrid electric
vehicles, and steering.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The RD-19240 converter is a single CMOS custom monolithic
chip. It is implemented using mixed signal CMOS technology
which merges precision analog circuitry with digital logic to form
a complete high-performance tracking resolver-to-digital convert-
er. For user flexibility and convenience, the converter bandwidth,
dynamics, and velocity scaling are externally set with passive
components.
FIGURE 1 is the RD-19240 Functional Block Diagram. The con-
verter operates with ±5 V DC power supplies. Analog signals are
referenced to analog ground, which is at ground potential. The
converter is made up of two main sections; a converter and a dig-
ital interface. The converter front-end consists of sine and cosine
differential input amplifiers. These inputs are protected to ±25 V
Data Device Corporation

with 2 kΩ resistors and diode clamps to the ±5 V DC supplies.
These amplifiers feed the high accuracy Control Transformer
(CT). Its other input is the 14-bit digital angle
φ.
Its output is an
analog error angle, or difference angle, between the two inputs.
The CT performs the ratiometric trigonometric computation of
SINθCOSφ - COSθSINφ = SIN(θ-φ) using amplifiers, switches,
logic and capacitors in precision ratios.
Note: The error output of the CT is normally sinusoidal, but
in LVDT mode, it is triangular (linear) and can be used
to convert any linear transducer output.
The converter accuracy is limited by the precision of the com-
puting elements in the CT. For enhanced accuracy, the CT in

these converters uses capacitors in precision ratios, instead of
the more conventional precision resistor ratios. Capacitors used
as computing elements with op-amps need to be sampled to
eliminate voltage drifting. Therefore, the circuits are sampled at a
high rate (70 kHz) to eliminate this drifting and at the same time
to cancel out 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) which,
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 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.

GENERAL SETUP CONDITIONS
DDC has external component selection software that considers all
the criteria below and, in a simple fashion, asks the key parame-
ters (carrier frequency, resolution, bandwidth, and tracking rate) to
derive the external component values. For detailed setup informa-
tion refer to the RD/RDC Series Converters Applications Manual
(document #MN-19220XX-001) available at www.ddc-web.com.
The following recommendations should be considered when
installing the RD-19240 Resolver-to-Digital (R/D) converter:
1) When setting the bandwidth (BW) and Tracking Rate (TR)
(selecting five external components), the system require-
ments need to be considered. For the greatest noise immuni-
ty, select the minimum BW and TR the system will allow.
