A "Synchro Converter" is used to convert Synchro
(or Resolver) "analog" shaft angle information
to a "digital" angle format. The "Synchro Converter", is often used
as a generic term for a variety of similar Synchro/Resolver Conversion
functions:
-
Synchro to Digital Converter (S/D)
-
Resolver to Digital Converter (R/D)
-
Digital to Synchro Converter (D/S)
-
Digital to Resolver Converter (D/R)
Synchro Converters come in a variety of physical configurations including
Module, Hybrid and Monolithic. Hybrid and
Module types provide more complete "Plug and Play" solutions, whereas the
Monolithic (IC) type provides a "roll your own" solution requiring external
components and signal conditioning circuitry to complete the converter
system.
