Model SBCD1753XYZ is a 14-bit, BCD output converter,
giving 0 to 359.9°, requiring t15V and +5V power supplies,
and having an overall accuracy of to.2 Degrees.
Model SBCD1756XYZ is a 13-bit plus' sign, BCD output con-
verter, giving -180.0° to -0.1° and +0.0 to +179.9" requiring
+15V and +5V power supplies, and having an overall accuracy
of to.2 Degrees.
Model SBCD1757XYZ is a 14-bit. BCD output converter,
giving 0 to 359.9°, requiring +15V and +5V power supplies,
and having an overall accuracy of :to.2 Degrees.
The XYZ code defines the option thus:
X signifies the operating temperature range.
Y signifies the reference frequency.
Z signifies the input voltage and range and whether it will
accept Synchro or Resolver information.
More information about the option code is given under the
heading "Ordering Information".
DATA TRANSFER (ALL MODELS)
The readiness of the converters for data transfer is indicated
by the state of the BUSY pin. The voltage appearing on the
BUSY pin consists of a train of pulses, at TTL levels, of length
according to the option (see Specifications table). The con-
verter is busy when the BUSY pin is at TTL "High" level. The
pulses occur for increasing and decreasing counts.
The most suitable time for transferring data is 400ns after the
tra:ling edge of the BUSY pulse, and the times allowable for
data transfer are shown in the specification. Even at the maxi-
mum speed of the option, these times will be sufficient to
transfer data before the next BUSY pulse occurs.
II
Particular attention has been paid in the design, to achieving
the highest tracking rates and accelerations possible, com-
patible with the resolution and carrier frequency used, while
at the same time obtaining a high overall accuracy.
One of the outstanding featUres of these converters is the use
made of precision Scott T and reference microtransformers.
This has made it possible to include the transformers within
the module, even for the 60Hz version as well as providing
facilities for external voltage scaling.
MODELS AVAILABLE
The four Synchro-to-Digital converters described in this data
sheet, differ primarily in the areas of output format and power
supply requirements.
Model SBCD1752XYZ is a 13-bit plus sign. BCD output con-
verter, giving -180.0° to -0.1° and +0.0 to +179.9° requiring
tIS V and +5 V power supplies, and having an overall accuracy
of :to.2 Degrees.

Data Transfer Diagram
The function of the INHIBIT pin is to enable the user to
inh,bit the update of the converter's output counter. This is
achieved by taking the INHIBIT pin to a TTL Logic zero. If
used, the INHIBIT should be applied 400ns after the trailing
edge of the BUSY pulse. This will ensure that the data on the
output pins is valid. The data should then be transferred and
the INHIBIT released before the next BUSY pulse occurs.
The worst case times allowable for data transfer in this case
are shown in the Specifications under the heading of "MAX
DATA TRANSFER TIME (from 400ns After Trailing Edge of
BUSY at Max Velocity)". It should be noted that the applica-
tion of the INHlBlTwill not prevent the BUSY pulses appear-
ing on the BUSY pin, and thus if the INHIBIT is not released
by the time that the next BUSY pulse occurs, the BUSY pulse
will still appear, although the internal converter loop will have
been opened. Under this condition, a worst case recovery time,
equivalent to that of a step of 179 degrees may be encountered
(see Spec.). To avoid this and to ensure valid data transfer, the
system shown in the diagram is recommended.

Suggested External Interface Circuitry
In cases where the converter is connected
to a data bus or used
as a peripheral, the method outlined in the above diagram is
recommended. The INHIBIT is not necessary in this case, and
the external "Enable" has control of the converter output.
The AC1755 mounting card described later in this data sheet
contains the external components shown in the diagram.
CONNECTING THE CONVERTER
The power lines, which should not be reversed, should be con-
nected to "+15V", "-15V" and "+5V" in the case of the
SBCD1752 and SBCDI753, and to "+15V" and "+5V" in the
case of the SBCDI756 and SBCDI757, with the common con-
nection to "GND" in all cases.

RESISTIVE SCALING OF INPUTS
A unique feature of the SBCD17521175 3/1756/1757 con-
verters is tha't the inputs can be resistively scaled to accommo-
date any value of input signal and reference voltage.
In order to calculate the values of the external scaling resistors
necessary, add 1.11 kS1 in series with the inpu t per extra volt
in the case of the signal, and 2.2kS1 per extra volt in the case
of the reference.
For example, assume that it is required to use a standard 11.8V
line to line signal, 26V reference converter with 60V line to
line signal and a 115V reference. The resistors should be ar-
ranged as in the diagram.

Converters should be ordered by the appropriate part number
(i.e., SBCDI752, SBCDI75 3, SBCD1756 or SBCDI757) fol-
lowed by the appropriate option code.
If the unit is to be a Resolver-to-Digital converter, the SBCD
should be replaced by RBCD in the part number.

Note: In the case of R J , R2' and R3, the ratio error between
the resistances is more critical than the absolute value. In
general a 1% ratio error will give rise to an extra inaccuracy of
0.28 Degrees, while a ratio accuracy of 0.1 % will give rise to
an extra inaccuracy of 0.028 Degrees. The absolute value of
RF is not critical.
CARD MOUNTING
All the converters can be mounted on an AC1755 mounting
card. This card contains the latches and monostable, described
under the "DATA TRANSfER" heading, which are necessary
to transfer the data on to a computer bus system, as well as
sockets for the converter. The latches have a tri-state output
to facilitate ease of use. The AC1755 also contains facilities
for the inclusion of input signal scaling and reference resistors
as described under the heading "RESISTIVE SCALING OF
INPUTS". The card uses a 22/22 0.156" pitch edge connector.
The pin-out is shown below. If it is not required to use the
external latches, they can be jumpered on the board.

Thus an SBCD1753 with a commercial (0 to +70°C) operating
range, using a 400Hz, 26 volt reference with an 11.8 volt
signal would be ordered as an SBCD17535f1.
*For 50Hz operation, a 60Hz convener can be used with no reduction
inaccuracy.
In addition a 400Hz unit will work with a 2.6kHz reference and a 60Hz
unit will work with a 400Hz reference; however they will have the
velocity and acceleration characteristics of the lower frequency rated
unit.

put word up to 20 ~its in length from the outputs of 2 Synchro-
to-Digital converters in a coarse/fine system. The TSL1612 is
used for ratios of 9: 1, 18: 1 and 36: I, while the TSLI729 is
