Operation
For single supply operation, repeat Steps 1 through 10 of the
design procedure for dual supply operation. R5, R6 and C5 are
additional component values to be determined. VOUT is mea-
sured with respect to SIGNAL REFERENCE.
10. Compute a maximum value of R5 and R6 based upon the
relationship

Based upon the constraints of R5 + R6 (Step 10) and R5 (Step
11), select an interim value of R6.
12. Load current through RL returns to the junction of R5 and
R6, and flows back to VPS. Under maximum load condi-
tions, make sure the voltage drop across R5 is met as de-
fined in Step 11.
As a final check on the power supply voltages, verify that
the peak values of VA and VB are at least 2.5 volts less than
the voltage between +VS and –VS.
13. C5 is a bypass capacitor in the range of 0.1
F to 1 F.
Gain Phase Characteristics
To use an LVDT in a closed-loop mechanical servo application,
it is necessary to know the dynamic characteristics of the trans-
ducer and interface elements. The transducer itself is very quick
to respond once the core is moved. The dynamics arise prima-
rily from the interface electronics. Figures 14, 15 and 16 show
the frequency response of the AD698 LVDT Signal Conditioner.
Note that Figures 15 and 16 are basically the same; the differ-
ence is frequency range covered. Figure 15 shows a wider range
of mechanical input frequencies at the expense of accuracy.
