DESCRIPTION
The RDC-19220/2S is a low-cost ver-
satile state-of-the-art 16-bit monolithic
Resolver-to-Digital Converter. This sin-
gle chip converter offers programmable
features such as resolution, bandwidth
and velocity output scaling.
Resolution programming allows selec-
tion of 10, 12, 14, or 16 bits, with accu-
racies to 2.3 minutes. This feature com-
bines the high tracking rate of a 10-bit
converter with the precision and low-
speed velocity resolution of a 16-bit
converter in one package.
The internal Synthesized Reference
section eliminates errors due to quad-
rature voltage. Previously, a 6 degree
phase shift caused problems for a 16-
bit converter. The synthesized refer-
ence capability ensures operation with
a phase shift up to 45 degrees.
The velocity output (VEL) from the
RDC-19220/2S, which can be used to
replace a tachometer, is a 4 V signal
referenced to ground. The full-scale
value of VEL is set by the user with a
single resistor.
RDC-19220/2S converter is available
with operating temperature ranges of
0° to +70°C, -40° to +85°C, and -55° to
+125°C.
APPLICATIONS
With its low cost, small size, high accu-
racy, and versatile performance, the
RDC-19220/2S converter is ideal for
use in modern high performance indus-
trial control systems. Typical applica-
tions include motor control, radar
antenna positioning, machine tool con-
trol, robotics, and process control.
