DESCRIPTION
The SD-14531 is a low-cost, high reliability, programmable synchro/
resolver-to-digital converter with pin programmable 14- or 16-bit res-
olution. Packaged in a 36-pin DDIP, the SD-14531 features Built-In-
Test (BIT) output.
The SD-14531 series accepts broadband inputs: 360 to 1 kHz, or 47
to 1 kHz. Other features include solid-state signal and reference iso-
lation and high common-mode rejection. The digital angle output from
the SD-14531 is a natural binary code, parallel positive logic and is
TTL/CMOS compatible. Synchronization to a computer is accom-
plished with the Converter Busy (CB) output and/or the Inhibit (INH)
input.
APPLICATIONS
Because of its high reliability, small size, and low power consumption,
the SD-14531 is ideal for military ground or avionics applications. All
models are available with MIL-PRF-38534 processing.
Designed with three-state output, the SD-14531 is especially well
suited for use with computer based systems. Among the many pos-
sible applications are radar and navigation systems, fire control sys-
tems, flight instrumentation and flight trainers or simulators.

accuracy of the converter. The control transformer performs the
following trigonometric computation:
sin(θ -
φ)
= sinθ cosφ - cosθ sinφ
Where:
θ
is angle theta representing the resolver shaft position
φ
is digital angle phi contained in the up/down counter
The tracking process consists of continually adjusting
φ
to make
(θ -
φ)
= 0, so that
φ
will represent the shaft position
θ.
The output of the demodulator is an analog DC level proportion-
al to sin(θ -
φ).
The error processor receives its input from the
demodulator and integrates this sin(θ -
φ)
error signal which then
drives the VCO. The VCO’s clock pulses are accumulated by the
up/down counter. The velocity voltage accuracy, linearity and off-
set are determined by the quality of the VCO. Functionally, the
up/down counter is an incremental integrator. Therefore, there
are two stages of integration which makes the converter a Type
II tracking servo.
In a Type II servo, the VCO always settles to a counting rate
which makes dφ/dt equal to dθ/dt without lag. The output data will
always be fresh and available as long as the maximum tracking
rate of the converter is not exceeded.
The reference conditioner is a comparator that produces the
square wave reference voltage which drives the demodulator. It’s
single-ended Input Z is 250k Ohms min, 500k Ohms differential.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The synthesized reference section of the SD-14531 eliminates
errors caused by quadrature voltage. Due to the inductive nature
of synchros and resolvers, their signals typically lead the refer-
ence signal (RH and RL) by about 6°. When an uncompensated
reference signal is used to demodulate the control transformer’s
output, quadrature voltages are not completely eliminated. In a
14-bit converter it is not necessary to compensate for the refer-
ence signal’s phase shift. A 6° phase shift will, however, cause
problems for the one minute accuracy converters. As shown in
FIGURE 1, the converter synthesizes its own cos(ωt +
α)
refer-
ence signal from the sinθ - cos(ωt +
α),
cosθ - cos(ωt +
α)
signal
inputs and from the cosωt reference input. The phase angle of
the synthesized reference is determined by the signal input. The
reference input is used to choose between the +180° and -180°
phases. The synthesized reference will always be exactly in
phase with the signal input, and quadrature errors will therefore
be eliminated. The synthesized reference circuit also eliminates
the 180° false error null hangup.
Quadrature voltages in a resolver or synchro are by definition the
resulting 90° fundamental signal in the nulled out error voltage
Notes:
(1) Pin Programmable.
(2) VEL polarity is negative voltage for positive angular rate.
(3) XX5 ordering option = ±1.3 minutes resolver mode, ±1.6 minutes synchro
mode (16-bit mode only).
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SD-14531 Series are small, 36-pin DDIP synchro-to-digital
hybrid converters. As shown in the block diagram (FIGURE 1),
the SD-14531 can be broken down into the following functional
parts: Signal Input Option, Converter, Analog Conditioner, Power
Supply Conditioner, and Digital Interface.
CONVERTER OPERATION
As shown in FIGURE 1, the converter section of the SD-14531
contains a high accuracy control transformer, demodulator, error
processor, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), up-down counter,
and reference conditioner. The converter produces a digital
angle which tracks the analog input angle to within the specified

(e) in the converter. A digital position error will result due to the
interaction of this quadrature voltage and a reference phase shift
between the converter signal and reference inputs. The magni-
tude of this error is given by the following formula:
Magnitude of Error=(Quadrature Voltage/F.S.signal) • tan(α)
and reset after the converter settles out. BIT will also change to logic
1 for an over-velocity condition, because the converter loop cannot
maintain input-output and/or if the converter malfunctions where it
cannot maintain the loop at a null. BIT will also be set for a Loss-of-
Signal (LOS) and/or a Loss-of-Reference (LOR).
PROGRAMMABLE RESOLUTION (14B, PIN 16)
Where:
Magnitude of Error is in radians,
Quadrature Voltage is in volts,
Full Scale signal is in volts,
α
= signal-to-REF phase shift.
An example of the magnitude of error is as follows:
Let:
Quadrature Voltage = 11.8 mV
Let:
F.S. signal = 11.8 V
Let:
α
= 6°
Then: Magnitude of Error = 0.35 min
≅
1 LSB in the 16th bit.
Note: Quadrature is composed of static quadrature which is
specified by the synchro or resolver supplier plus the speed volt-
age which is determined by the following formula:
Speed Voltage=(rotational speed/carrier frequency) • F.S. signal
Where:
Speed Voltage is the quadrature due to rotation,
Rotational speed is the rps (rotations per second) of the
synchro or resolver,
Carrier frequency is the REF in Hz.

Resolution is controlled by one logic input,14B. The resolution
can be changed during converter operation so the appropriate
resolution and velocity dynamics can be changed as needed. To
insure that a race condition does not exist between counting and
changing the resolution, input 14B is latched internally on the
trailing edge of CB (see FIGURE 2).
INTERFACING - INPUTS
SIGNAL INPUT OPTIONS
The SD-14531 series offers programmable synchro or resolver
inputs. In a synchro or resolver, shaft angle data is transmitted as
the ratio of carrier amplitudes across the input terminals.

BUILT-IN-TEST (BIT, PIN 15)
The Built-In-Test output (BIT) monitors the level of error (D) from the
demodulator. D represents the difference in the input and output
angles and ideally should be zero; if it exceeds approximately 180
LSBs (of the selected resolution) the logic level at BIT will change
from a logic 0 to logic 1. This condition will occur during a large step
