GENERAL SETUP CONDITIONS
DDC has external component selection software which consid-
ers all the criteria below and, in a simple fashion, asks the key
parameters (carrier frequency, resolution, bandwidth, and track-
ing rate) to derive the external component values.
The following recommendations should be considered when
installing the RDC-19220/2S R/D converter:
1) When setting the bandwidth (BW) and Tracking Rate (TR)
(selecting five external components), the system requirements
need to be considered. For the greatest noise immunity, select
the minimum BW and TR the system will allow.
2) Power supplies are ±5V dc. For lowest noise performance it is
recommended that a 0.1F or larger cap be connected from
each supply to ground near the converter package.
3) Resolver inputs and velocity output are referenced to AGND.
This pin should be connected to GND near the converter pack-
age. Digital currents flowing through ground will not disturb the
analog signals.
4) The BIT output, which is active low, is activated by an error of
approximately 100 LSBs. During normal operation, for step
inputs or on power up, a large error can exist.
5) Setup of bandwidth and velocity scaling for the optimized crit-
ically damped case should proceed as follows:
- Select the desired fBW (closed loop), based on overall sys-
tem dynamics.
- Select fcarrier
≥ 3.5 f

6) Selecting a fBW that is too low relative to the maximum appli-
cation tracking rate can create a spin-around condition in
which the converter never settles. The relationship to insure
against spin-around is as follows (TABLE 2.):
