GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DSC1705 and DSC1706 are Digital-to-Synchro and Digital-
to-Resolver converters capable of driving electromechanical
loads of up to 1.3VA.
They accept a 14- or 12-bit digital input representing angle
and a reference voltage of either 60Hz or 400Hz, and produce
a 3 wire or 4 wire output suitable for driving Synchros or
Resolvers.
The 400Hz converters contain internal1.3V A amplifiers as
well as output and reference transformers.
The 60Hz versions contain internal 1.3VA amplifiers but
require external output and reference transformers.
If it is necessary to drive a load requiring more than 1.3VA,
options for both the 400Hz and 60Hz converters are available
allowing the use of external amplifiers and transformers.
RADIUS VECTOR
One of the outstanding features of these converters is the
almost negligible Radius Vector variation (Transformation
Ratio).

MODELS AVAILABLE
The two Digital to Synchro/Resolver converters described in
this data sheet differ primarily in the areas of resolution and
accuracy as follows:
Model DSC1705XYZ is a 14-bit converter with an overall
accuracy of :t4 arc-minutes.
Model DSC 1706XYZ is a 12-bit converter with an overall
accuracy of 18 arc-minutes.
The XYZ option code defines the option thus: (X) signifies
the operating temperature range, (Y) signifies the reference
frequency, (Z) signifies the output and the reference voltages,
whether the output is in ~ynchro or Resolver format and
whether external transformers are required.

On many Digital-to-Synchro converters presently available, the
individual sine and cosine outputs produced do not follow the
exact sine and cosine laws, and depending upon angle can vary
up to :t7%. This is not always important as the ratio of the sine
to the cosine, i.e., the tangent, is always correct to the speci-
fied accuracy of the converter. There are cases however, when
driving torque receivers and certain servo control loops when
this variation is unacceptable.

md reference transformers.
The digital input should be connected to pins "1" through
"12" on the DSC1706 and pins "1" through "14" on the
DSC1705, noting that pin "1" is the Most Significant
Bit (MSB).
"S1", "S2" and "S 3" should be connected to the appropriate
inputs on the synchro being driven. ("S4" is used also when
connection is mad~ to a resolver).
The reference should be connected to "RHi" and "RLo"
ensuring that the phase is correct.
"GND" is the common for both power supplies and digital
inputs.
60Hz Options. For 60Hz operation, an external transformer,
STM1679 is required.
The power supplies and digital input should be connected as
for the 400Hz version.
The STM1679 transformer should have its pins "SIN",
"COS" and "V" connected to the equivalent pins on the
converter. The "GND(SIG)" and "GND(REF)"should both
be connected to "GND" on the converter.
The outputs to the load should be taken from "Sl", "S2"
and "S3" on the STM1679 transformer ("S4" also in the
case of a resolver).

WADING THE DSC's WITH

converters is the control transformer (CT)
The minimum power required to drive a CT can be expressed
as:

90V Line-to-Line options:
100 Volt ac working or greater, for example, low K

4. For tuning Resolver loads, two capacitors only are required,
one connected between SI and S3 and the other connected
between S2 and S4.

CONTROL DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMITTERS (CDX's)
The loading on a DSC of these devices can be considered in a
similar way to that of CT's. However becasue a CT normally
follows a CDX, the effective Z will need to be calculated. This
value will normally be between 66% and 80% of the Zso
quoted for the CDX.
TORQUE RECEIVERS (TR's)
Torque receivers are mor~ difficult devices to drive than CT's
and CDX's, and in general external amplifiers and transformers
will be necessary. However, because of the lack of radius vector
variation, the DSC170S and DSC1706 are far more suited to
driving TR's than converters with a variation of 1:7%.
For a deviation of an angle 8, the drive current required will be:,

Therefore in the above example the capacitor value should be:

and the power required after tuning will be:

=0.17VA
Note allowance should always be made for tolerances in the
CT windings, capacitors and fre9uency.
Points to be observed are:
(a) The TR should not be allowed to lock up.
(b) A phase lead equal to that specified for the TR should
be introduced into the reference input to the DSC.
(c) The reference should always be present on the TR and
the converter.
(d) The DSC output voltage should be matched exactly to
the voltage requirements of theTR.
CAUTIONS
(a) Do not connect a llSV reference to a 26V converter.
(b) Do not reverse the power supplies.
(c) Do not connect the reference to any other pins except
"RHi" and "RLo ".
