1/2 Size Synchro PCI Card

The SB-3624XIX-3L0 is a PCI card that contains six channels of fully independent Synchro or Resolver-to-digital conversion. For each channel the conversion process is implemented using a PDC RD-19231 16-bit monolithic converter and a thin-film resistor network or Scott-T transformer. The reference oscillator comes in two variations which support voltages up to 26 Vrms or 115 Vrms with input frequencies from 57 to 7 kHz.

Each channel has an independent solid-state signal and reference input. Transformer isolation is available for 90 V Synchro applications. Signal connections are provided through a 68-pin mini D-type connector (P1). The RD-19231 converter has an incremental encoder output, “A quad B”, which consists of the A, B, and Zero Index (ZI) outputs. Other features include a self-test mode that places predetermined angular values on the input channels, a turns counter to keep track of the number of rotations the synchro or resolver has made, and direction information to determine if the converter is counting up or down.
