APPLICATIONS
This single chip Resolver-to-Digital Converter (RDC) is used in shaft angle control systems, and is suitable for space
or other radiation environments that require >1MRad (Si) total dose tolerance. The part is latchup free in heavy ion
environments (e.g., geosynchronous orbits) and is estimated to experience SEU induced errors of less than 15
minutes of arc at a rate of 1 per device per 2 years when operating dynamically.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ACT5028B converter is a single CMOS Type II tracking resolver to digital converter monolithic chip. It is
implemented using precision analog circuitry and digital logic. For flexibility, the converter bandwidth, dynamics
and velocity scaling are externally set with passive components. Refer to Figure 1, ACT5028B Block Diagram.
The converter is powered from +5VDC. Analog signals are referenced to signal ground, which is nominally V
CC
/2.
The converter consists of three main sections; the Analog Control Transformer (CT), the Analog Error Processor
(EP) and the Digital Logic Interface.
The CT has two analog resolver inputs (Sin and Cos) that are buffered by high impedance input instrumentation type
amplifiers and the 16 bit digital word which represents the output digital angle. The CT performs the ratiometric
trigonometric computation of:
SIN(A) sin(wt) COS(B) – COS(A) sin(wt) SIN(B) = SIN(A-B) sin(wt)
Utilizing amplifiers, switches, logic and resistors in precision ratios. “A” represents the resolver angle, “B“
represents the digital angle and sin(wt) represents the resolver reference carrier frequency.
The Error Processor is configured as a critically damped Type II loop. The AC error, SIN (A-B) sin (wt) is full wave
demodulated using the reference squared off as its drive. This DC error is integrated in an analog integrator yielding
a velocity voltage which in turn drives a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). This VCO is an incremental integrator
(constant voltage input to position rate output) which, together with the velocity integrator, forms a Type II loop. A
lead is inserted to stabilize the loop and a lag is inserted at a higher frequency to attenuate the carrier frequency
ripple. The error processor drives the 16 bit digital output until it nulls out. Then angle “A” = “B”. The digital output
equals angle input to the accuracy of the precision control transformer. The various error processor settings are done
with external resistors and capacitors so that the converter loop dynamics can be easily controlled by the user.
The digital logic interface has a separate power line, VL
I
/
O
that sets the interface logic 1 level. It can be set anywhere
from +3V to the +5V power supply.

Logic 0 enables digital angle output. Otherwise it is high impedance.
Logic 0 freezes the digital angle output so that it can be safely read.
Logic 0 enables the digital angle lines to be inputs to preset the angle.
Logic 1 is for normal digital angle output.
A logic 1 pulse when the digital angle changes by 1 LSB.
For turns counting. Logic 1 = counting up (CW), logic 0 = counting
down (CCW).
Ripple clock for turns counting. A logic 0 pulse = a 0° transition in
either direction.
