SDC-361/362
16-BIT, TWO SPEED SYNCHRO-TO-DIGITAL
AND RESOLVER-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
The SDC-361 is a low-cost, single
module synchro-to-digital (S/D) and
resolver-to-digital (R/D) tracking con-
verter. A unique control transformer
algorithm is used that provides inher-
ently higher accuracy and jitter-free
output. Other features include a BIT
logic signal to indicate proper tracking
and
an
analog
velocity
output.
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.
APPLICATIONS
The SDC-361 may be used wherever
analog angle data from synchros or
resolvers must be converted rapidly
and accurately to digital form for
transmission, storage and analysis.
Because these units are extremely
rugged and stable, and meet the
requirements of MIL-STD-202E, they
are suitable for the most severe
industrial, commercial and military
applications. Military ground support
and avionics uses include ordnance
control, radar tracking systems, navi-
gation and collision avoidance sys-
tems.
