DESCRIPTION
The SDC-630/632/634 series are low cost, low profile Synchro-to-
Digital (S/D) and Resolver-to-Digital (R/D) tracking converters with
standard pin configurations. They use a unique control transformer
algorithm that provides inherently higher accuracy and jitter-free out-
put. Utilizing a type II servo loop, these converters have no velocity
lag up to the specified tracking rate, and output data is always fresh
and continuously available. Each unit is fully trimmed and requires no
adjustment or field calibration.

APPLICATIONS
These converters may be used wherever analog angle data from a
synchro or resolver must be rapidly and accurately converted to digi-
tal form for transmission, storage or analysis. Because these units are
extremely rugged and stable, and meet the requirements on MIL-
STD-202E, they are suitable for the most severe industrial, commer-
cial and military applications. Military ground support and avionics
uses include ordnance control, radar tracking systems, navigation
and collision avoidance systems.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
TIMING
FIGURE 2 shows the timing waveforms of the converter.
Whenever an input angle change occurs, the converter changes
the digital angle in steps of 1 LSB, and generates a converter
busy impulse (CB). The CB is a positive pulse 0.5 to 1.5µsec
long. Data changes on the leading edge of the CB pulse, and
data can be transferred 0.5µsec after the leading edge.
The simplest method of interfacing with a computer is to transfer
data at a fixed time interval after the inhibit is applied. The con-
verter will ignore an inhibit applied during the “busy” interval until
that interval is over. Timing is as follows: (a) apply the inhibit, (b)
wait 0.5µsec, (c) transfer the data, and (d) release the inhibit.
Extra CB pulses will not occur if the input angle changes while
the counter is locked by the INH.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
A type II servo loop (KV =
∞
) and very high acceleration con-
stants give these converters superior dynamic performance, as
listed in the specifications. If the power supply voltages are not
the +15 VDC nominal values, the specified input rates for full
accuracy will increase or decrease in proportion to the fractional
change in voltage. The +15 V supply voltage will determine the
positive maximum velocity, and the -15 V supply voltage will
determine the negative maximum velocity.
So long as the maximum tracking rate is not exceeded, there will
be no lag in the converter output. If a step input occurs, as is like-
ly when the power is initially turned on, the response will be crit-
ically damped. FIGURE 3 shows the response to a step input.
After initial slewing at the maximum tracking rate of the convert-
er, there is one overshoot which is inherent to a Type II servo.
The overshoot settling to a final value is a function of the small
signal settling time.
POWER SUPPLIES
The main power supplies can vary over their specified ranges
with no change in the converter specifications except for a pro-
portional change in the maximum tracking rates.
When testing or evaluating the converters, it is advisable to limit
the current to each of the three power supplies. Set each limit to
50% greater than the maximum current listed for that supply in
the specifications table.
TRANSFORMER INPUT
To prevent damage to the input transformers, the maximum
steady state voltage should not exceed the specified input volt-
age by more than 30%. The maximum common mode voltage
(DC plus recurrent AC peak) should not exceed 500 V.

ACCOMMODATING NON-STANDARD INPUT
VOLTAGES
The signal and reference input levels of the SDC-630 series can
be resistively scaled to accommodate non-standard voltages. A
converter should be selected that is the next lower standard volt-
age and the voltage is then scaled up with resistors in series with
the synchro and/or reference inputs.
For a synchro input (SDC), a resistor R
SIG
is added in series with
S1, S2 and S3, which is determined as follows:
R
SIG
= 1.11K (New L-L Voltage - Standard Unit Voltage)
In the case of the RESOLVER version (RDC), the equation is:
R
SIG
= 2.2K (New L-L level - Standard Unit L-L level)
The calculated resistors are connected in series with S1 and S2
respectively. Note only two resistors are required. The required
resistor matching and its effect on accuracy, is the same as for a
synchro input (See FIGURE 4).
The Reference Voltage treatment is similar, but the value select-
ed is not critical.
R
Ref
= 2.8K (New Ref - Standard Ref)
That is, 1.11K for each volt above that for which the standard unit
is designed.
Example: An SDC-634-L (11.8V) is to be used at 50V L-L.
Here, even a 10% tolerance is adequate.
R
SIG
R
SIG
= 1.11K (50-11.8) = 42.4K
The closest available high grade resistor with a low temperature
coefficient of resistance should be used, and the three resistors
should be matched to each other as closely as possible. In gen-
eral, a 0.1% difference will introduce 1.7 arc minutes of addition-
al error due to the effect on
SIN
ratio relationship.
