GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD2S90 operates on ±5 V dc ± 5% power supplies and is
fabricated on Analog Devices’ Linear Compatible CMOS pro-
cess (LC2MOS). LC2MOS is a mixed technology process that
combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS logic
circuits.
The AD2S90 is a complete 12-bit resolution tracking resolver-
to-digital converter. No external components are required to
operate the device.
The converter accepts 2 V rms ± 10% input signals in the range
3 kHz–20 kHz on the SIN, COS and REF inputs. A Type II
servo loop is employed to track the inputs and convert the input
SIN and COS information into a digital representation of the
input angle. The bandwidth of the converter is set internally at
1 kHz within the tolerances of the device. The guaranteed maxi-
mum tracking rate is 500 rps.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Complete Resolver-Digital Interface. The AD2S90 provides
the complete solution for digitizing resolver signals (12-bit reso-
lution) without the need for external components.
Dual Format Position Data. Incremental encoder emulation
in standard A QUAD B format with selectable North Marker
width. Absolute serial 12-bit angular binary position data
accessed via simple 3-wire interface.
Angular position output information is available in two forms,
absolute serial binary and incremental A quad B.
The absolute serial binary output is 12-bit (1 in 4096). The data
output pin is high impedance when Chip Select CS is logic HI.
This allows the connection of multiple converters onto a com-
mon bus. Absolute angular information in serial pure binary
form is accessed by CS followed by the application of an exter-
nal clock (SCLK) with a maximum rate of 2 MHz.
Single High Accuracy Grade in Low Cost Package. ±10.6 arc
minutes of angular accuracy available in a 20-lead PLCC.
Low Power. Typically 50 mW power consumption.
The encoder emulation outputs A, B and NM continuously
produce signals equivalent to a 1024 line encoder. When de-
coded this corresponds to 12 bits of resolution. Three common
north marker pulsewidths are selected via a single pin (NMC).
An analog velocity output signal provides a representation of
velocity from a rotating resolver shaft traveling in either a clock-
wise or counterclockwise direction.
