DESCRIPTION
The SD-14590/91/92 series are high reliability synchro- or resolver-
to-digital converters with 14-bit-only, 16-bit-only, or 14- or 16-bit pro-
grammable resolution. In addition, the SD-14591 and SD-14592 are
pin-for-pin replacements for the Natel 1024 and 1026, respectively,
and many legacy products.
User-programmable resolution has been designed into the SD-14590
to increase the capabilities of modern motion control systems. The
precise positioning attained at 16 bits of resolution and fast tracking
of a 14-bit device are now available from one 36-pin double DIP
hybrid. Velocity output (VEL) from the SD-14590/91/92 is a V-based
voltage of 0 to ±3.5 VDC with a linearity to 2.0%. Output voltage is
positive for an increasing angle. The digital angle output from the SD-
14590/91/92 is a natural binary code, parallel positive logic and is
TTL/CMOS compatible. Synchronization to a computer is accom-
plished via a converter busy (CB) and an inhibit (INH) input.
APPLICATIONS
Because of its high reliability, accuracy, small size, and low power
consumption, the SD-14590/91/92 is ideal for the most stringent and
severe industrial and military ground or avionics applications. All mod-
els are available with MIL-PRF-38534 processing as a standard
option. Designed with three-state output, the SD-14590/91/92 is
especially well-suited for use with computer based systems. Among
the many possible applications are radar and navigation systems, fire
control systems, flight instrumentation, and flight trainers or simula-
tors.

SIGNAL INPUTS
The SD-14590/91/92 series offer three input options: synchro,
resolver, and direct. In a synchro or resolver mode, shaft angle
data is transmitted as the ratio of carrier amplitudes across the
input terminals. Synchro signals, which are of the form sinθ
cosωt, sin(θ + 120°)cosωt, and sin(θ + 240°)cosωt are internally
converted to resolver format; sinθcosωt and cosθcosωt. Direct
inputs accept 1 Vrms inputs in resolver form, (sinθcosωt and
cosθcosωt) and are buffered prior to conversion. FIGURE 2 illus-
trates synchro and resolver signals as a function of the angle
θ.
The solid-state signal and reference inputs are true differential
inputs with high AC and DC common mode rejection. Input
impedance is maintained with power off.

SOLID-STATE BUFFER INPUT 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
impedance is maintained with power off. The current AC peak
+DC common mode voltage should not exceed the values in
TABLE 1.
90 V line-to-line systems may have voltage transients which
exceed the 500 V specification. These transients 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 as shown. Voltage transients are likely to occur
whenever synchro or resolver inputs are switched on and off. For

INTRODUCTION
The circuit shown in FIGURE 1, the SD-14590/91/92 block dia-
gram, consists of three main parts: the signal input; a feedback
loop whose elements are the control transformer, demodulator,
error processor, VCO and up-down counter; and digital interface
circuitry including various latches and buffers.

SYNTHESIZED REFERENCE
The synthesized reference section of the SD-14590 eliminates
errors caused by quadrature voltage. Due to the inductive nature
of synchros and resolvers, their signals lead the reference 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 reference sig-
nal’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)
reference signal
from the sinθcos(ωt +
α),
cosθcos(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
(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:
Error = Quad/Full Scale (FS) signal * tan(α)
Where: Error is in radians
Quad/FS signal is per unit quadrature input level.
α
= signal to reference phase shift in degrees.
A typical example of the magnitude of this source of error is as
follows:
Quad/FS signal = .001
α
=6
Error = 0.35 min
≈1
LSB in the 16th bit.
Note:
Quad/FS is composed of static quadrature which is specified by the
resolver or synchro supplier plus the speed voltage which is given by:

instance, a 1000 V transient can be generated when the primary
of a CX or TX driving a synchro or resolver input is opened. See
FIGURE 3.
FEEDBACK LOOP
The feedback loop produces a digital angle
φ
which tracks the
analog input angle
θ
to within the specified accuracy of the con-
verter. The control transformer performs the following trigono-
metric computation:
sin(θ -
φ)
= sinθ cosφ - cosθ sinφ
where
θ
is the angle representing the resolver shaft position, and
φ
is the digital angle contained in the up/down counter. The track-
ing 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 proportional to sin(θ -
φ).
The
error processor receives its input from the demodulator and inte-
grates this sin(θ -
φ)
error signal which then drives a Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO). The VCO’s clock pulses are accu-
mulated by the up/down counter. The velocity voltage accuracy,
linearity and offset 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 make 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 a lag. The output data will always be fresh and
available as long as the maximum tracking rate of the converter
is not exceeded.
Speed Voltage = rotational speed/carrier frequency
Where: Speed Voltage is the per unit ratio of electrical
rotational speed in RPS divided by carrier frequency in Hz.
This error is totally negligible for 14-bit converters. For 16-bit con-
verters where the highest accuracy possible is needed and
where the quadrature and phase shift specifications can be high-
er, this source of error could be significant. The reference syn-
thesizer circuit in the converter which derives the reference from
the input signal essentially sets
α
to zero resulting in complete
rejection of the quadrature.
