3 General Description
The MTS series of two-speed synchro/resolver to digital converters are modular structured single circuit,
including coarse and fine function generation circuits and a processing circuit which is necessary for a
two-speed system.
According to operation modes, the MTS single modular two-speed converters can be classified into two
categories:
(1) Combined Two-Speed Converter
and 1:64 The input signals of the coarse and fine channels are three-wire synchro or four-wire resolver
signals. The converters output natural parallel binary code and the resolution can be up to 20 bits with
three-state latches.
coarse and fine channels operation theory are the same as the one of single-speed converter. But it is combined
with two single-speed converters and a programmer error-correcting logic circuit. The coarse channel converts
10~12 bits analog angle to digital angle and the fine channel converts 14 bits analog angle to digital angle. The
results from the two channels are then sent to a logic circuit for error processing and correction respectively. After
that, it outputs a 20-bit parallel binary digital value that is subsequently converted to a digital angle through a
latch buffer.
two circuits are controlled by up-down counters. According to the coarse axial error, the cross detector selects
one signal out of the two coarse and fine error signals for integration and the result is supposed to control the
VCO, making the counter working and three-state latched output. Its function diagram is shown in Figure 3.
The coarse and fine signals are connected to the analog inputs of the continuous synchro/resolver to digital
converter respectively (original for coarse channel and 36 bits for fine channel), and are converted to latched
output of angular binary code (up to 20 bits).
EnableHi , which makes convenient connection between the two-speed converters and the data bus. The
EnableLo, EnableMi and EnableHi are all active low. The EnableLo controls the 8 least significant bits, the
EnableMi controls the 8 middle significant bits and the EnableHi controls the remaining most significant bits.
nominal value.
(2) The frequency of the input signals and reference signals for both coarse and fine channels should be within
(a) The phase shift between input signals and reference signals for coarse channels should be less than 10
degrees.
(b) The phase shift between input signals and reference signals for fine channels should be less than 10
degrees.
(4) The wave distortion of the input signals and reference signals for both coarse and fine channels should be less
than 10%.
(5) The voltage variation of +5 V, 15 V power supplies should be less than 5%.
Notes:
1 As1, As2, As3 and As 4 are fine channel inputs. For three-wire synchro, As4 is unused.
2 Bs1, Bs 2, Bs3 and Bs 4 are coarse channel inputs. For three-wire synchro, Bs 4 is unused.
3 RHi and RLo are reference signal inputs.
4 Inhibit is the inhibit signal, which has been connected to 5 V power supply via an internal pull-up
resistor. When the Inhibit is set to logic 0, the converter is in a disable state and, after 490 ns, it outputs
valid data; while it is set to logic 1, the converter resumes the tracking state and now it outputs invalid data.
5 EnableLo, EnableMi and EnableHi are three-state latch control pins, which determine the output data
state. When they are in logic 1 state, the data output is in a high-impedance state. Conversely, when they
are in logic 0 state, the converter outputs valid data after 200 ns. The state of the output data will not affect
the internal loop operation. The EnableLo controls the 8 least significant bits, the EnableMi controls the 8
middle significant bits and the EnableHi controls the other most significant bits.
6 T1 and T2 , shown in Figure 7, are the regulatory network between fine channel signals and references
(unused for continuous two-speed converter since it has internal phase self-adapting circuit).
Select proper R and C to make the phase shift less than 10 degrees. During debug, the R.C network can be
regulated according to the lead and lag relations of the phase shift. Short T1 and T2 together if there is no
need to regulate the phase shift.
the power supply must be correct, or it will damage the device. It is suggested that a parallel
combination of a 0.1 F and a 6.8F bypass capacitor is placed from each of the three supply pins to G
ND.
Signals and stimulus sources are connected to S 1S 2S 3S 4 and RHiRLo pins with the maximum
The phase of the signal must match the one of the stimulus source. Their phases are as follows:
For synchro:
S 1S 3ES1S3=ERLoRHisinsint
S 3S 2ES3S2=ERLoRHisin+1200sint
For resolver:
S 1S 3ES1S3=ERLoRHisinsint
S 2S 4ES2S4=ERLoRHicossint
Note: The input signals of RHiRLoS 1S 2S 3 and S 4 are not allowed to be connected to other pins, or
the device may be damaged. Other pins should be connected according to pin configuration. It is
suggested by the manufacturer that when non-nominal synchro or resolver is needed, ask them to make
( For example: -5/3 stands for that the reference voltage is 5V and the signal voltage is 3V.)
Notes:
Make sure that the polarity of the power supply is correct.
Operating at the condition that exceeds the maximum ratings may cause damages to devices.
During product assembly, keep the bottom of product close to the circuit board so as to avoid damages of
