DESCRIPTION
SWR200 is a Precision Sine Wave Reference
providing an ultra stable sine wave output of
7.071V at ±0.05% initial accuracy and
temperature coefficient as low as 3 ppm/°C over
the full military temperature range. The extreme
accuracy is made possible by a chopper-based
AGC circuit. The temperature characteristic of the
chopper circuit compensates the typical
nonlinearity of the internal DC zener reference,
resulting in a nearly linear amplitude-temperature
characteristic. Frequency of the SWR200 is
programmable with two external capacitors.
The SWR200 is available in a 14-pin bottom
braze package. They are hermetically sealed and
"M" versions are screened for high reliability and
quality.
SWR200 is well suited for any application
requiring a stable sine wave source. The SWR200
can be used as a reference source in precision
sensing systems based on LVDT or RVDT
position sensors. A programmable AC reference
can be constructed using the SWR200 as a
reference for a high accuracy multiplying Digital to
Analog Converter.

DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE
THEORY OF OPERATION
The following refers to the schematic in Figure 1.
A1 and A2 are connected as a phase-shift oscillator
circuit with the frequency set by the external
capacitors C1 and C2. Q4 is included in the
feedback loop of A1 as a gain control element.
The oscillator output is fed to the chopper amplifier
which develops an absolute value representation of
the oscillator output. The chopper output is
compared to a precision DC reference in integrator
amplifier A3. This DC error signal is used ot control
the gain setting FET Q4.
As in all precision zener based DC references, the
drift of the zener becomes nonlinear at temperature
extremes. The chopper amplifier drift characteristic
is complementary to this nonlinearity and
compensates for the reference drift.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the connections for the SWR200
including the two frequency setting capacitors. The
frequency is:
-5
f =
10
C1 C
2
The frequency stability is directly related to the
stability of the capacitors, therefore stable capacitors
like NPO ceramic, or polycarbonate or polystyrene
film should be used.
Two separate ground pins are provided for
accurate ground sensing. This minimizes errors due
to drops in the ground pin which can become a
significant source of error in sockets.
The offset of the SWR200 is fully specified for
initial offset and drift and is low enough that it can
normally be neglected. In applications which are
especially sensitive to offset the output can be AC
coupled. Proper capacitor sizing and high impedance
sensing will minimize errors due to capacitive
coupling.
