DESCRIPTION
The RDC-19220/2S is a low-cost, versatile, state-of-the-art 16-bit
monolithic Resolver-to-Digital (R/D) converter. This single chip con-
verter offers programmable features such as resolution, bandwidth
and velocity output scaling.
Resolution programming allows selection of 10, 12, 14, or 16 bits,
with accuracies to 1.3 minutes. This feature combines the high track-
ing rate of a 10-bit converter with the precision and low-speed veloc-
ity resolution of a 16-bit converter in one package.
The internal Synthesized Reference section eliminates errors due to
quadrature voltage. Previously, a 6 degree phase shift caused prob-
lems for a 16-bit converter. The synthesized reference capability
ensures operation with a phase shift up to 45 degrees. The velocity
output (VEL) from the RDC-19220/2S, which can be used to replace
a tachometer, is a 4 V signal referenced to ground. The full-scale
value of VEL is set by the user with a single resistor.
The RDC-19220/2S converter is available with operating temperature
ranges of 0° to +70°C, -40° to +85°C, and -55° to +125°C.

APPLICATIONS
The low cost, small size, high accuracy, and versatile performance of
the RDC-19220/2S converter makes it ideal for use in modern high
performance motion control systems. Typical applications include
motor control, radar antenna positioning, machine tool control, robot-
ics, and process control. Class K and MIL-PRF-38534 processing are
also available.

Note that these accuracy specifications are for the converter and do not consider any front end external resistor tolerances.
4. If the frequency is between 47Hz and 1kHz, then there may be 1 LSB of jitter at quadrant boundaries.
5. The maximum phase shift tolerance will degrade linearly from 45 degrees at 400 Hz to 30 degrees at 60 Hz.
6. See text, General Setup Considerations.
7. When using internally generated -5V the internal -5V charge pump when measured at the converter pin, may be as low as -20% (or -4V).
8.-XX5 accuracy is 1minute + 1 LSB up to 5 kHz max.
9. A signal less than 500 mV will assert BIT.
10. Any unused input pins can be left floating (unconnected). All TTL & CMOS input pins are internally pulled up to +5 volts.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The RDC-19220/2S series of 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 converter. For user flexibility and convenience, the con-
verter bandwidth, dynamics, and velocity scaling are externally
set with passive components.
FIGURE 1 is the RDC-19220/2S Functional Block Diagram. The
converter 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 digital interface. The converter front-end consists of sine and
cosine differential input amplifiers. These inputs are protected to
±25 V with 2 kΩ resistors and diode clamps to the ±5 V DC sup-
plies. 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.
Note:
The transfer function of the CT is normally trigonometric, but in LVDT mode
the transfer function is triangular (linear) and could thereby convert any lin-
ear transducer output.
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.
TRANSFER FUNCTION AND BODE PLOT
The dynamic performance of the converter can be determined
from its Transfer Function Block Diagrams and its Bode Plots
(open and closed loop). These are shown in FIGURES 2, 3, and 4.
The open loop transfer function is as follows:

The components of gain coefficient are error gradient, integrator
gain, and VCO gain. These can be broken down as follows:
- Error Gradient = 0.011 volts per LSB (CT+Error
Amp+Demod with 2 Vrms input)
- Integrator gain =

The converter accuracy is limited by the precision of the com-
puting 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 used as
computing elements with op-amps need to be sampled to elimi-
nate 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-
