OUTPUT ENABLE (OE)
OE is the output enable input; the signal is active low. When set
to Logic 1, DB1 to DB14 are in high impedance state. When OE
is set to Logic 0, DB1 to DB14 represent the angle of the transducer
shaft to within the stated accuracy of the converter (see bit weights
i
n Table 4). Data becomes valid 640 ns after the OE is switched.

BUILT-IN TEST (BIT)
The BIT is the built-in test error output, which provides an over-
velocity or fault indication signal for the channel selected via A/B.
The error voltage of each channel is continuously monitored. When
the error exceeds ±50 bits for the currently selected channel, the
BIT output goes low, indicating that an error greater than approx-
imately one angular degree exists, and the data is, therefore, invalid.
The BIT signal has a built-in hysteresis; that is, the error required to
set the BIT is greater than the error required for it to be cleared.
The BIT is set when the error exceeds 55 LSBs and is cleared when
the error goes below 45 LSBs. This mode of operation guarantees
that the BIT does not flicker when the error threshold is crossed.
The BIT is valid for the selected channel approximately 50 ns after
the change in the state of A/B. In most instances, the error condi-
tion that sets the BIT must persist for at least one period of the
reference signal prior to the BIT responding to the condition.
Table 5. BIT Output Faults
Condition
Description
Power-Up Transient
Response
The BIT returns to a logic high state after
with the angle input to within 1°.
Normally, the BIT is low at power-up for
a period less than or equal to the large
signal step response settling time of the
stabilized to within 5% of their final values.
Step Input > 1°
The BIT returns to a logic high state after
settled to within 1° of the input angle
resulting from an instantaneous step.
Excessive Velocity
The BIT is driven to a logic low if the
exceeded (20 rps typical).
Signal Failure
The BIT may be driven to a logic low state if
all signal voltages to the selected channel
are lost.
Converter/System
Failure
Any failure that causes the
AD2S44 to fail
to track the input synchro/resolver angles
drives the BIT to a logic low. This may
include, but is not limited to, acceleration
conditions, poor supply voltage regulation,
or excessive noise on the signal connections.
