DESCRIPTION
The SDC-14570/75 Series are small
low cost synchro- or resolver-to-digital
converters based upon a single chip
monolithic. A completely self-con-
tained 14- or 16-bit synchro converter
is housed in the SDC-14570/75
Series small 1.0" x 0.8" package. The
SDC-14570 is fixed at 14 bits, the
SDC-14575 is pin-programmable 14
or 16 bits.
The velocity output (VEL) from the
SDC-14570/75 Series, which can
be used to replace a tachometer, is
a 4 V signal referenced to ground
with a linearity of 1% of output volt-
age.
SDC-14570/75 Series converters
are available with operating temper-
ature ranges of 0°C to +70°C and -
55°C to +125°C, and MIL-PRF-
38534 processing is available.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The SDC-14570/75 Series of converters are based upon a sin-
gle chip CMOS custom monolithic. They are implemented using
the latest IC technology which merges precision analog circuitry
with digital logic to form a complete high performance tracking
resolver to digital converter.
FIGURE 1 is the Functional Block Diagram of SDC-14570/75
Series. The SDC-14570 Series is fixed at 14 bits. The SDC-
14575 is pin programmable for 14- or 16-bit operation using res-
olution control line “A.” A logic 0 (open line) will select 14 bits; a
logic 1 will select 16-bit operation. 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
three main sections; an input front-end, a converter, and a digi-
tal interface. The converter front-end differs for synchro, resolver
and direct inputs. An electronic 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
14-bit digital angle
φ.
Its output is an analog error angle, or dif-
ference angle, between the two inputs. The CT performs the
ratiometric trigonometric computation of SINθCOSφ - COSθSINφ
= SIN(θ-φ) using amplifiers, switches, logic and capacitors in pre-
cision 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 inte-
grated yielding a velocity voltage which in turn drives a voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO). This VCO is an incremental integra-
tor (constant voltage input to position rate output) which togeth-
er with the velocity integrator forms a type II servo feedback loop.
A lead in the frequency response is introduced to stabilize the
loop and another lag at higher frequency is introduced to reduce
the gain and ripple at the carrier frequency and above.

GENERAL SETUP CONSIDERATIONS
The following recommendations should be considered when
connecting the SDC-14570 Series converters:
1) Power supplies are ±5 V dc. For lowest noise performance it
is recommended that a 0.1 µF or larger cap be connected
from each supply to ground near the converter package.
2) Direct inputs are referenced to Analog GND.
3) Digital Ground should be connected to Analog Ground as
close to the package as possible.
INHIBIT AND ENABLE TIMING
The Inhibit (INH) signal is used to freeze the digital output angle
in the transparent output data latch while 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 six
bytes. The Enable MSBs (EM) is used for the most significant 8
bits and Enable LSBs (EL) is used for the least significant bits. As
shown in FIGURE 4, output data is valid 150 nanoseconds max-
imum after the application of a low-going enable pulse. The tri-
state data bus returns to the high impedance state 100 nanosec-
onds maximum after the rising edge of the enable signal.

TRANSFER FUNCTION AND BODE PLOT

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 error and, when it exceeds ±100 LSBs, 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
voltage is filtered with a 500 µs filter) BIT will set for an overve-
locity condition because the converter loop cannot maintain
input/output sync. BIT will also set if a total LOS (loss of all sig-
nals) 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.
