DESCRIPTION
The DRC-11522 is a dual 16-bit Digital-to-Resolver (D/R) converter.
Each channel is independent from the other with the exception of the
16 digital lines. The DRC-11522 allows the user to program the gain
of the resolver output.
Packaged in a 36-pin double DIP, the DRC-11522 is two Digital-to-
Resolver converters in one hybrid module. Using an AC reference
input, the DRC-11522 is a Digital-to-Resolver converter. When using
a DC reference input, the unit can be used as a hybrid Digital-to-
SIN/COS DC converter. With the reference input proportional to the
radius vector, the DRC-11522 converts polar to rectangular coordi-
nates.
The circuit design in the DRC-11522 allows for higher accuracy and
reduces the output scale factor variation so that the output can drive
displays directly. The output line-to-line voltage can be scaled by pin
programming. Other features include buffered reference input, and a
wide operating temperature range.
APPLICATIONS
Because of its high reliability, small size and low power consumption,
the DRC-11522 is ideal for the most stringent and severe industrial
and military ground or avionics applications. All units are available
with MIL-PRF-38534 processing.
Among the many possible applications are computer-based systems
in which digital information is processed, such as simulators, flight
trainers, flight instrumentation, fire control systems, radar and navi-
gation systems.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
DIGITAL INPUTS
For each channel, the 16-bit digital angle is double buffered with
transparent latches (See FIGURE 1). The latch controls have
internal pull-up current sources to +5 V, this puts the latches in
the transparent mode when they are not connected.
The angle is determined by adding the logic bits. The enable
inputs are LL (1st Latch LSBs), LM (1st Latch MSBs), and LA
(2nd Latch All); see FIGURES 2A & 2B for timing.

OUTPUT SCALING AND REFERENCE LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT
The DRC-11522 operates like a multiplying D/A converter in that
the voltage of each output line is directly proportional to the ref-
erence voltage. The maximum line-to-line levels are determined
by the output amplifiers and are programmable for a gain of 0.5,
1.0, or 2.0 (See TABLE 2.).

OUTPUT PHASING AND OUTPUT SCALE FACTOR
The analog output signals have the following phasing:
sin = (REF * K) Ao [1 + A(q)] sin q
cos = (REF * K) Ao [1 + A(q)] cos q
The output amplifiers simultaneously track reference voltage
fluctuations because they are proportional to (REF * K). The
transformation ratio Ao is determined by the programmable gain
inputs (0.5, 1.0, or 2.0). The maximum variation in Ao from all
causes is 0.1%. The term A(q) represents the variation of the
amplitude with the digital signal input angle. A(q), which is called
the scale factor variation, is a smooth function of (q) without dis-
continuities and is less than ±0.1% for all values of (q). The total
maximum variation in Ao[1 + A(q)] is therefore ±0.2%.
Because the amplitude factor (REF * K) Ao [1 + A(q)] varies
simultaneously on all output lines, it is not a source of error when
the DRC-11522 is driving a ratiometric system. However, if the
outputs are used independently, as in x-y plotters, the amplitude
variations must be taken into account.

POWER SUPPLY CYCLING
Power supply cycling of the DDC converter should follow the
guidelines below to avoid any potential problems. Strictly main-
tain proper sequencing of supplies and signals per typical
CMOS circuit guidelines:
- Apply power supplies first (+15, -15V and ground).
- Apply digital control signals next.
- Apply analog signals last.
The reverse sequence should be followed during power down
of the circuit.
