APPLICATIONS
This single chip Resolver-to-Digital Converter (RDC) is used in shaft angle control systems, and is suitable for space
or other radiation environments that require > 1 Mrad(Si) total dose tolerance. The part is latchup free in heavy ion
environments (e.g., geosynchronous orbits) and is estimated to experience SEU induced errors of less than 15 minutes
of arc at a rate of 1 per device per 2 years when operating dynamically.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The RDC5028 converter is a single CMOS Type II tracking resolver to digital converter monolithic chip. It is
implemented using precision analog circuitry and digital logic. For flexibility, the converter bandwidth, dynamics and
velocity scaling are externally set with passive components. Refer to Figure 1, RDC5028 Block Diagram.
The converter is powered from +5VDC. Analog signals are referenced to signal ground, which is nominally VCC /2.
The converter consists of three main sections; the Analog Control Transformer (CT), the Analog Error Processor (EP)
and the Digital Logic Interface.
The CT has two analog resolver inputs (Sin and Cos) that are buffered by high impedance input instrumentation type
amplifiers and the 16 bit digital word which represents the output digital angle. The CT performs the ratiometric
trigonometric computation of:
SIN(A) sin(wt) COS(B) – COS(A) sin(wt) SIN(B) = SIN(A-B) sin(wt)
Utilizing amplifiers, switches, logic and resistors in precision ratios. “A” represents the resolver angle, “B“ represents
the digital angle and sin(wt) represents the resolver reference carrier frequency.
The Error Processor is configured as a critically damped Type II loop. The AC error, SIN (A-B) sin (wt) is full wave
demodulated using the reference squared off as its drive. This DC error is integrated in an analog integrator yielding a
velocity voltage which in turn drives a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). Note in the block diagram, hysterisis is
added to prevent dithering and disables counting when the error is less than 1 LSB. This VCO is an incremental
integrator (constant voltage input to position rate output) which, together with the velocity integrator, forms a Type II
loop. A lead is inserted to stabilize the loop and a lag is inserted at a higher frequency to attenuate the carrier
frequency ripple. The error processor drives the 16 bit digital output until it nulls out. Then angle “A” = “B”. The
digital output equals angle input to the accuracy of the precision control transformer. The various error processor
settings are done with external resistors and capacitors so that the converter loop dynamics can be easily controlled by
the user.The digital logic interface has a separate power line, VL I/O that sets the interface logic 1 level. It can be set
anywhere from +3V to the +5V power supply.

SIGNAL AND REFERENCE INPUT CONDITIONING
Inputs to the converter should be 1.3 Vrms nominal, resolver format referenced to VCC /2 nominal Figure 5
shows various input configurations.
SCD5028-2 Rev G 5/7/2014

REFERENCE CONDITIONING
Most resolvers have a LEADING input to output phase shift. A simple C-R leading phase shift network
(Figure 5 – Reference Conditioning) from the resolver reference to the RDC’s reference input will provide
the compensating phase shift required to bring the signals in phase. If the resolver has a LAGGING input to
output phase shift an R-C lagging phase shift network (low pass network) would be required.
Note the C-R phase lead circuit on the input to the Demodulator (BPF1 and BPF2) in Figure 1 should be
considered when calculating the total system phase compensation.
The formula for calculating the phase shift network is as follows:
Phase angle = ArcTan
1
6.28 x (R7 + R8) x C
FREF
Select a convenient capacitor value and perform the following calculation to determine the proper resistor
value.
R=
1
(Tan (Phase Angle)) x FREF x 6.28 x C
POWER UP INITIALIZATION
The RDC5028 RDC converter can provide incorrect data output if a unit step of 180° (starting at any
angle) is introduced to the Sin / Cos input.
This is difficult to reproduce since a Resolver will never provide a unit step function to the RDC chip.
The only time this would be a concern is during power up, if the Resolver is set to 180°. The RDC will
initialize its internal counter to 0000h which simulates the unit step function mentioned above. In
practice this error condition during power up is difficult to produce because of the dynamics associated
with all the variables when power is first applied.
If the system designer does nothing to accommodate this potential problem the system could see an
error at power on, however, this error will be self corrected once the Resolver begins to rotate. If the
Resolver does not rotate, the error can be corrected by writing to the RDC5028 any angle except 180°.
VELOCITY CONTROL
The RDC5028 RDC exhibits nonlinearity below 4 degrees/sec due to an anti-dither circuit that was
added to reduce the effects of any noise condition that may exist. This result can be seen in the least
significant bit or on the velocity output pins 9 & 10 on this device.

READING THE ACT 5028B
The Busy signal is asynchronous to the Read signal created by the interface circuit that reads it. Because of
the asynchronous nature of the system (inherent with other Resolver to Digital Converters) the designer
must be careful when reading the digital interface.
The implementation of reading the RDC is accomplished in one of two ways, using a CPU/MPU or using an
FPGA. The best method for reading the counter may also depend on the rep rate of the counter clock that
can vary from 0 to 1µS.
The Busy pulse is instrumental in reading stable data from the RDC5028. The Busy pulse will be present for
the following two situations:
1) When ever data is incremented or decremented in the RDC counter.
2) Directly after the trailing positive going edge of /INH (see A within example 5 timing diagram).
Based on 1 above there are many methods that can be implemented to synchronize the reading of data
from the RDC5028, below are a few examples:
Example 1: If the only time a read will occur is after the RDC has stopped (0 rps) there will be no
Busy signal to contend with.
Example 2: Knowing the Busy rep rate an Interrupt to a CPU or Logic can be developed from the
Busy pulse for the system to Read the RDC chip as long as the read is guaranteed to
occur prior to the next Busy pulse.
Example 3: As long as the resolver is rotating the Busy Pulse can be used to indicate stable data to
be sampled on leading or trailing edge.
Example 4: Ignore Busy and perform two reads back to back and compare, if they are equal you
have good data. The designer should be aware of the rep rate of Busy which is equal to
the clock rate of the counter. In most cases the angular velocity is < 3 rps in which case
with a 16 bit counter rep rate would be (1 / 216 * 3) 5µS. In this situation the reads would
like to be within 5µs of each other and the LSB would be ignored. Although this method
would be easier to implement with a CPU it could also be done in an FPGA.
Example 5: The circuit below ignores the Busy signal but insures sampling of stable data. The clock
should be a least 10MHz, the /RD pulse should be a minimum of 1.2µs (to insure
minimum /INH pulse width of 400ns), the sampling of data should be taken on the rising
edge of the signal /RD. The /RD signal is synced up with the CLK such that the sampling
on the D latch occurs on the opposite edge of the /RD transition.

APPLICATION NOTE 1
USING INL ERROR CORRECTION FACTORS TO IMPROVE ACCURACY:
The information provided in this section is to address the constant Integral Nonlinearity (INL) that exists at
each angle of the RDC5028 Resolver to Digital Converter (RDC). This error is repeatable from chip to chip
and provides a look up Table of offsets that can be added to the output of the Resolver to Digital Converter
to obtain the 5.3 minute accuracy.
Figure 8 shows the error in Minutes that exists at 2o increments for the full 360o. Note that the INL error
from 0o to 180o is basically the same as the error between 180o and 360o. Table II has the angle and
correction factor (in Minutes) that must be added to zero out the INL error.
A simple calculation can be performed to derive a correction factor for angles that fall between the angles
listed in Table II herein.
AL = Larger Angle
AS = Smaller Angle
CL = Correction Factor associated with larger Angle
CS = Correction Factor associated with smaller Angle
NA = New Angle
NCF = New Correction Factor
Formula:
NCF = CS + (((NA - AS) / (AL - AS)) * (CL - CS))
Example:
Require the correction factor @ 15o for 5028-3-1
NCF = 5.10687 + (((15 – 14) / (16 – 14)) * (5.61783 - 5.10687))
NCF = 5.10687 + (((1) / (2)) * .51096)
NCF = 5.10687 + (.5 * .51096)
NCF = 5.10687 + .25548
NCF = 5.36235 minutes
