DESCRIPTION
The RDC-19220/2S is a low-cost versatile state-of-the-art 16-bit
monolithic Resolver-to-Digital Converter. This single chip converter
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 2.3 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 industrial control systems. Typical applications include
motor control, radar antenna positioning, machine tool control, robot-
ics, and process control.

RDC-19220/2S
E-11/02-300
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 linear transducer output.
The converter accuracy is limited by the precision of the com-
puting elements in the CT. In this converter ratioed capacitors are
used in the CT, instead of the more conventional precision
ratioed resistors. 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-
RB C
BW
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:

GENERAL SETUP CONDITIONS
DDC has external component selection software which consid-
ers all the criteria below and, in a simple fashion, asks the key
parameters (carrier frequency, resolution, bandwidth, and track-
ing rate) to derive the external component values.
The following recommendations should be considered when
installing the RDC-19220/2S R/D converter:
1) When setting the bandwidth (BW) and Tracking Rate (TR)
(selecting five external components), the system requirements
need to be considered. For the greatest noise immunity, select
the minimum BW and TR the system will allow.
2) Power supplies are ±5V DC. For lowest noise performance it
is recommended that a 0.1µF or larger cap be connected from
each supply to ground near the converter package.
3) Resolver inputs and velocity output are referenced to AGND.
This pin should be connected to GND near the converter pack-
age. Digital currents flowing through ground will not disturb the
analog signals.
4) The BIT output, which is active low, is activated by an error of
approximately 100 LSBs. During normal operation, for step
inputs or on power up, a large error can exist.
5) Setup of bandwidth and velocity scaling for the optimized crit-
ically damped case should proceed as follows:
- Select the desired f
BW
(closed loop), based on overall
system dynamics.
- Select fcarrier

cation tracking rate can create a spin-around condition in which
the converter never settles. The relationship to insure against
spin-around is as follows (TABLE 2.):
