SDC-14580

Because of its high reliability, accuracy, small size, and low power consumption, the SDC-14580 Series are ideal for the most stringent and severe industrial and military ground or avionics applications. Military processing is available (consult factory).

Designed with three-state outputs, the SDC-14580 is especially wellsuited for use with computer-based systems. Among the many applications are: radar and navigation systems, fire control systems, flight instrumentation, and flight trainers/simulators.

The SDC-14580 series are versatile state-of-the-art Synchro-to- Digital (S/D) converters featuring programmable resolution and a velocity output voltage. Based on the popular SDC-14560 Series, the SDC-1458 0 offers a higher carrier frequency of 1 to 5 kHz and a higher bandwidth of 540 Hz. Tracking rate has also been increased and settling times decreased.

Resolution programming allows selection of 10, 12, 14, or 16 bits and are available with corresponding accuracies of up to 1 minute +1 LSB. Resolution programming combines the high tracking rate of a 10-bit converter with the precision of a 16-bit device in one package. The velocity output (VEL) from the SDC-14580 is a ground-based voltage of 0 to ±10 Vdc with a linearity of 2%. Output voltage is positive for an increasing angle. The digital angle output from the SDC-14580 is a natural binary code, parallel positive logic and is TTL/CMOS compatible.
