FEATURES
• Synthesized Reference Option
The SD-14620 Series converters are
small, low-cost, two-channel hybrid
synchro- or resolver-to-digital con-
verters based on a single-chip mono-
lithic. The SD-14620XS option offers
synthesized reference circuitry to cor-
rect for phase shifts between the ref-
erence and signal inputs. The two
channels are independent but share
the digital output and +5 VDC power
pins. The package is 54-pin ceramic,
yet is the size of a 28-pin DDIP.
Resolution programming allows
selection of 10-, 12-, 14- or 16-bit
modes. This feature allows selection
of either low-resolution for fast track-
ing or higher resolution for higher
accuracy.
The velocity outputs (VEL A, VEL B) of
the SD-14620 Series, which can be
used to replace a tachometer, are ±4 V
signals referenced to analog ground.
The SD-14620 Series also offers
Built-In-Test outputs for each channel
(BIT-A, BIT-B). The converters are
available with operating temperature
ranges of 0°C to +70°C, -40°C to
+85°C and -55°C to +125°C. MIL-
PRF-38534 processing is available.

APPLICATIONS
With its low-cost, small size, high

the SD-14620 Series converters are
ideal for use in modern high-perfor-
mance military, commercial and space
position control systems. Typical appli-
cations include radar antenna posi-
tioning, motor control, robotics, navi-
gation and fire control systems.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The SD-14620 Series of converters are based upon a single chip
CMOS custom monolithic. Using the latest technology, precision
analog circuitry is merged with digital logic to form a complete,
high-performance tracking synchro/resolver-to-digital (S/D, R/D)
converter.
GENERAL SET-UP CONSIDERATIONS
The following recommendations should be considered when
connecting the SD-14620 Series converters:
1) The +5 VDC power supply input is on pin 18. For performance
with the lowest amount of noise it is recommended that a
10 µF/10 VDC (or larger) tantalum filter capacitor be connect-
ed to ground (pin 19) near the converter package.
2) Direct inputs are referenced to Analog Ground (A GND).
Connections should made as close to the converter package
as possible to minimize noise. Channel A should be refer-
enced to A GND-A (pin 5) and Channel B should be refer-
enced to A GND-B (pin 32).
3) A 47 µF/10 V tantalum filter capacitor must be added exter-
nally from pin 52 (channel “A” filter point) to pin 19 (ground). In
addition, a 47 µF/10 Vdc tantalum filter capacitor must be
added externally from pin 24 (channel “B” filter point) to pin 19
(ground).
CONVERTER OPERATION
FIGURE 1 is the Functional Block Diagram of the SD-14620
Series. The converter operates with a single +5 VDC power sup-
ply and each channel internally generates a negative voltage of
approximately 5 volts. These negative voltages are connected to
pin 52 (channel “A” filter point) and pin 24 (channel “B” 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 computing elements in
the CT. Ratioed capacitors are used in the CT in these convert-
ers, instead of the more conventional precision ratioed resistors.
Capacitors that are used as computing elements with op-amps
are sampled at a high rate to eliminate drift and the op-amp off-
sets.
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) that,
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 a lag at a higher frequency is introduced to
reduce the gain and ripple at the carrier frequency and above.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
PROGRAMMABLE RESOLUTION
Resolution is controlled by pins 49 and 50 for channel A; pins 21
and 22 for channel B. The resolution can be changed during con-
verter operation, so the appropriate resolution and velocity
dynamics can be changed as needed. To insure that a race con-
dition does not exist between counting and changing the resolu-
tion, the resolution control is latched internally. Refer to TABLE 2
for Channel A and B resolution control.
BIT, (BUILT-IN-TEST)
This output is an active low 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 approximate-
ly ±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 con-
verter settles out. (The BIT is filtered with a 500 µs delay.) BIT will
set for an overvelocity condition because the converter loop can not
maintain input/output sync. For the “S” option only, this output will
be active low for a LOR (Loss-Of-Reference) fault condition.
NO FALSE 180° HANGUP
The converter is designed to eliminate a “false 180° reading” dur-
ing instantaneous 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 converter 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 con-
dition is most often noticed during wraparound verification tests,
simulations, or troubleshooting.
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 voltages
are not completely eliminated. As shown in FIGURE 1, the con-
verter synthesizes its own internal reference signal based on the
SIN and COS signal inputs. Therefore, the phase of the synthe-
sized (internal) reference is determined by the signal input, result-
ing in reduced quadrature errors. The synthesized reference cir-
cuit also eliminates the 180 degree false error null hang up.
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 imped-
ance 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 (See 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.
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.
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

can be obtained from TABLE 4.
