The converter operates on the flash principle with fast single comparators. The back-end signal processing circuit includes a no-delay glitch filter which can be set so that only clearly countable incremental signals are generated. The minimum transition distance for outputs A and B can be set via an external resistor and adapted to suit the application on hand. For static input signals hysteresis prevents the switching of the outputs. By programming the pins the interpolator can be set to nine different resolutions between 4 and 64 angle steps per cycle; multiplication values of between 1 and 16 are possible for the frequency. The phase relation between the sine/cosine input signals and the A/B incremental signals generated can be selected here. The device also incorporates an index signal processing circuit which generates a digital zero pulse at Z (gated with A only, respectively B) dependent on the analog sine/cosine input signals and the enable input ZERO. Alternatively, the converter MSB can also be output at Z for synchronization purposes in an absolute measuring system. The input amplifiers are configured as instrumentation amplifiers and permit sensor bridges to be directly connected without the need for external resistors. The input amplification has nine selectable settings which have been graded to suit standard sensor signals of between ca. 10mVpk and 1Vpk. If external calibration of the sensor bridge is required, eg. with regard to offset, various test functions can be activated. By this the amplified analog input signals come available at the outputs, for instance.

VCC-2.4V Converter Core, Transition Distance Control For each of the 64 comparator levels the sine/cosine input signals are calculated according to the theorem of addition and are fed into single comparators. This procedure guarantees a very high converter frequency yet also means that consecutive comparators can switch in a very short space of time in the event of input signal disturbances. The comparator outputs are thus fed into a transition distance control unit. This monitors the temporal sequence of the switching operations in such a way that each event is delayed by the length of the settable minimum gap to the previous event. If no errors arise the transitions pass the control unit without a time delay. Synchronization with a fixed clock pulse does not occur. The minimum transition distance is set via an external resistor positioned between RCLK and GNDA. Alternatively, pin RCLK can be shorted to VCC. Depending on the resolution maximum input frequencies of at least 200kHz are then guaranteed (see table of resolution). Digital Processing Unit The transition distance control unit is followed by the digital processing unit. This is where the transition events are converted into a pulse sequence for the incremental outputs A and B. The square-wave signals generated have a phase shift of +90° or -90°, depending on the direction of rotation. The phase relation between the sine/cosine input signals and the A/B output signals can be set using programming pin ROT. Alternatively, the MSB of the converter can be output to Z when ROT is high. With the zero signal this changes to high and has the pulse length of half a cycle. This signal can be used to synchronize the high-order tracks of an absolute-value encoder device. iC-NVH 6-BIT Sin/D FLASH CONVERTER Rev D1, Page 8/13 A/B OUTPUT PHASE SELECTION ROT Input signals Output signals A, B; Z lo positive; COS leading SIN B leading A; Z lo negative; SIN leading COS A leading B; Z open positive; COS leading SIN B leading A; MSB open negative; SIN leading COS A leading B; MSB hi positive; COS leading SIN A leading B; Z hi negative; SIN leading COS B leading A; Z Resolution, frequency ranges Nine different resolutions or interpolation factors (IPF) can be programmed via inputs SF0 and SF1. Resolutions 16, 12 and 10 are generated at the core of the converter itself. Resolutions of less than 10 are produced by division DIV in the digital processing unit. The minimum transition distance at outputs A and B corresponds to that of the transition distance control multiplied by the divisor of the digital processing unit. The minimum output transition distance (maximum output frequency) should be adjusted to tarry with the overall system (bandwidth of the transfer medium, sampling rate of the counter). The maximum input frequency is determined by the transition distance control and the resolution of the converter core (16, 12 or 10). This frequency can be increased for resolutions of less than 10 with an external resistor at RCLK. The following table gives possible settings.

It prevents the outputs from switching when the inputs are static. The following diagram shows the effect this has with an interpolation factor of 8. Fig. 8: Effect of angle hysteresis When the direction of rotation is reversed the integrated hysteresis circuit prompts the change in direction to be signaled at the outputs; the hysteresis causes a delay here.

To be output to Z it must be enabled by the comparator at differential inputs PZERO and NZERO. The width of the zero pulse is half the length of the A and/or B signal output cycle. When Z is high, simultaneously A is high. The position of the zero pulse dependent on the interpolation factor and the direction of rotation is given in the following table.
