DESCRIPTION
The SDC-36016 is a versatile, full-size 8-bit ISA card which can be config-
ured for one to four channels of fully independent synchro-to-digital or
resolver-to-digital conversions. For each channel, the conversion process is
implemented using a DDC RDC-19222(S) 16-bit Monolithic converter.
Each converter channel can be configured for a 90V or 11.8V line-to-line dif-
ferential, synchro or resolver format, or 2V single-ended input. Each channel
can be programmed for 10-, 12-, 14-, or 16-bit resolution, and 100 Hz, 300
Hz, or a user-defined bandwidth.
Custom line-to-line voltages are also available. Consult the factory for infor-
mation regarding this feature. Each channel provides a separate reference
input signal which can be programmed to accept two voltage ranges. Also,
DDC has designed the product to operate over a frequency range of 360 Hz
to 5 kHz. Lower carrier frequency operation can be achieved with user-
defined bandwidth.
In addition to the angular position data available, each channel provides a
±4V Velocity Signal, which is accurate to 1% of the rotational rate.
Software available on request includes drivers in “C,” Pascal, LabWindows,
LabWindows/CVI, and demonstration software, which exhibits the SDC-
36016’s capabilities.
APPLICATIONS
DDC designed the SDC-36016 for modern, high-performance industrial and
military control systems. Typical applications include motor control, machine
tool control, robotics, aircraft control surface position, and process control
systems.

INTRODUCTION
Each of the four converter channels are electrically identical but
can be jumper programmed independently for different options.
In addition, through software, the SDC-36016 card can be con-
figured to convert two 2-speed inputs by using one channel for
each speed input (1 coarse and 1 fine input per 2-speed input).
The software supplied with this card demonstrates this function.
The heart of each channel is DDC's RDC-19222(S) Monolithic
Resolver-to-Digital converter (ordered separately). The circuitry
external to the RDC-19222(S) provides the configuration
options. For technical information on the RDC-19222(S) consult
its data sheet.
Each channel of the SDC-36016 may be configured to accept
90 VL-L or 11.8 VL-L synchro or resolver signals, 2V single-
ended inputs, or custom line-to-line voltages. Consult the factory
regarding the custom line-to-line feature. Input levels are config-
ured by the installation of thin-film network(s) R15, R29, R43,
and R57. See FIGURE 9 and ordering information.
The synchro or resolver format for each channel is jumper pro-
grammable for the 90V and 11.8V line-to-line voltage levels. The
2V input format is resolver only (see FIGURE 8). In addition,
each channel’s resolution can be jumper programmed for 10-,
12-, 14-, or 16-bits.
Each channel also contains three jumper-programmable band-
width filtering options which consist of Low (100 Hz), High (300
Hz), and User Defined. For the User Defined option, the band-
width component values are determined by the end user,
installed onto 8-pin DIP carriers and then plugged into the appro-
priate sockets on the SDC-36016 circuit card assembly (see
FIGURES 7 and 8). A complete description of all jumper settings
is detailed in this data sheet.
The angular data for each channel can be INHIBITED (frozen) or
ENABLED (allowed to track the input angle) under computer
control. Refer to the Register section for details on the computer
programmable features. A block diagram of the SDC-36016 is
shown in FIGURE 1.

SYNTHESIZED REFERENCE
The RD-19222(S) input converters contain a synthesized refer-
ence, which eliminates errors due to phase shift between the ref-
erence and the signal inputs up to 45°. Quadrature voltages in a
resolver or synchro are by definition the resulting 90° fundamen-
tal 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 demodulate the con-
trol transformer’s output, quadrature voltages are not completely
eliminated. Therefore this is the perfect solution to combat phase
shift error to 45°.
Note 1:
For complete specifications on the RDC-19222 or RDC-19222(S) con-
verters, go to the DDC Website for data sheet downloads at www.ddc-web.com.
Note 2:
S refers to RDC-19222S, NON S refers to RDC-19222.
Note 3:

The Base Address of the SDC-36016 is preset at the factory to

36016 will occupy the address space of 300h to 309h (plus 310
through 31F which is not actually used by the SDC-36016 but
enables the data bus drivers). The Base Address can be
changed to any address from 000h to 3F0h in increments of 16
