DESCRIPTION
The SD-14550 Series are small complete low cost hybrid Synchro- or
Resolver-to-Digital converters based on a single-chip monolithic. The
SD-14550X “S” option offers synthesized reference circuitry to correct
for phase shifts between the reference and signal voltage. The com-
pletely self-contained unit offers programmable resolution and +5
VDC operation. The package is a 34-pin, 1.0 x 0.78 x 0.21 inch
ceramic package.
Resolution programming allows selection of 10-, 12-, 14-, or 16-bit
modes. This feature allows selection of either low resolution for fast
tracking or higher resolution for higher accuracy.
The velocity output (VEL) from the SD-14550, which can be used to
replace a tachometer, is a ±4 V signal referenced to analog ground
with a linearity of 1% of output voltage.
This converter series also offers a Built-In-Test output (BIT). The SD-
14550 converters are available with operating temperature ranges of
0°C to +70°C, -40°C to +85°C and -55°C to +125°C. These convert-
ers are also available with MIL-PRF-38534 processing.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The SD-14550 Series of converters are based upon a single chip
CMOS custom monolithic. They are implemented using the latest
IC technology, which merges precision analog circuitry with digi-
tal logic to form a complete high performance tracking
Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital converter.
GENERAL SETUP CONSIDERATIONS
The following recommendations should be considered when
using the SD-14550 Series converters:
1) The power supply is +5 V DC.
2) Direct inputs are referenced to AGND.
CONVERTER OPERATION
Figure 1 is the functional block diagram of the SD-14550 Series.
The converter operates with a single +5 V DC power supply and
internally generates a negative voltage of approximately 5 volts.
This negative voltage comes out on pin 5 (filter point) — see
GENERAL SETUP CONSIDERATIONS.
The converter is made up of three main sections; an input front-
end, an error processor, and a digital interface. The converter
front-end differs for synchro, resolver and direct inputs. An elec-
tronic Scott-T is used for synchro inputs, a resolver conditioner
for resolver inputs, and a sine and cosine voltage follower for
direct inputs. 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.
The converter accuracy is limited by the precision of the com-
puting elements in the CT. In these converters 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 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 another lag at higher frequency is introduced
to reduce the gain and ripple at the carrier frequency and above.
Dynamic accuracy may be degraded in applications with a high
system bandwidth. This dynamic accuracy error is usually not an
issue when using the device’s analog velocity output or position
output data in a control-loop because they are inherently filtered
due to comparatively low bandwidths in most applications.
3) Connect (close to hybrid) pin 31 (Analog Ground) to pin 7
(GND).
4) Connect a 33 µF/10 VDC tantalum filter capacitor externally
between pin 5 (filter point) to pin 7 (ground).
PROGRAMMABLE RESOLUTION
Resolution is controlled by pins 27 and 28. The resolution can be
changed during converter operation so that the appropriate res-
olution and velocity dynamics can be set as needed. To insure
that a race condition does not exist between counting and chang-
ing the resolution, the resolution control is latched internally.
Refer to TABLE 2 for resolution control.

BIT (BUILT-IN-TEST)
This output is a logic line that will flag an internal fault condition
or LOS (Loss-Of-Signal). The internal fault detector monitors the
internal loop error and, when it exceeds approximately 100 LSBs
of positive or 250 LSBs of negative error, will set the line to a
logic 0; this condition will occur during a large-step input and will
reset to a logic 1 after the converter settles out. (The error volt-
age is filtered with a 500 µs filter.) BIT will set for an over veloci-
ty condition because the converter loop cannot maintain
input/output sync. BIT will also be set if a total LOS (loss of all
signals) occurs. Additionally, in the SD-14550XS version, BIT will
set when a Loss-of-Reference (LOR) condition occurs.

NO FALSE 180° HANGUP
This feature eliminates the “false 180° reading” during instanta-
neous 180° step changes; this condition most often occurs when
the input is “electronically switched” from a digital-to-synchro
converter. If the “MSB” (or 180° bit) is “toggled” on and off, a con-
verter without the “false 180° hangup” feature may fail to
respond.
The condition is artificial, as a “real” synchro or resolver cannot
change its output 180° instantaneously. The condition is most
often noticed during wraparound verification tests, simulations,
or troubleshooting.
INTERFACING
SOLID-STATE BUFFER PROTECTION - TRANSIENT
VOLTAGE SUPPRESSION
The solid-state signal and reference inputs are true differential
inputs with high AC and DC common rejection, so most applica-
tions will not require units with isolation transformers. Input
impedance is maintained with power off. The recurrent AC peak
+ DC common mode voltage should not exceed the values in
TABLE 1.
The 90 V line-to-line systems may have voltage transients which
exceed the 300 V specification listed in TABLE 1.
These tran-
sients can destroy the thin-film input resistor network in the
hybrid.
Therefore, 90 V L-L solid-state input modules may be
protected by installing voltage suppressors as shown in FIGURE
2. Voltage transients are likely to occur whenever a synchro is
switched on and off. For instance, a 1000 V transient can be gen-
erated when the primary of a CX or TX input is opened.
SYNTHESIZED REFERENCE
The synthesized reference section (“S” option) eliminates errors
due to phase shift between the reference and signal inputs.
Quadrature voltages in a resolver or synchro are by definition the
resulting 90° fundamental signal in the nulled out error voltage
(e) in the converter. Due to the inductive nature of synchros and
resolvers, their output signals lead the reference input signal (RH
and RL). When an uncompensated reference signal is used to
demodulate the control transformer’s output, quadrature volt-
ages are not completely eliminated. As shown in FIGURE 1, the
converter synthesizes its own internal reference signal based on
the SIN and COS signal inputs. Therefore, the phase of the syn-
thesized (internal) reference is determined by the signal input,
resulting in reduced quadrature errors. The synthesized refer-
ence circuit also eliminates the 180 degree false error null hang
up.
INHIBIT AND ENABLE TIMING
The Inhibit (INH) signal is used to freeze the digital output angle
in the transparent output data latch while the data is being trans-
ferred. Application of an inhibit signal does not interfere with the
continuous tracking of the converter. As shown in FIGURE 3,
angular output data is valid 500 nanoseconds maximum after the
application of the low-going inhibit pulse.
Output angle data is enabled onto the tri-state data bus in 2
bytes. This Enable MSB (EM) is used for the most significant 8
bits and Enable LSB (EL) is used for the least significant bits. As
