Analog Devices AN-266 Passive Component Selection and Dynamic Modeling for the 2S80 Series Resolver-to-Digital Converter
Analog Devices presents a software package designed to simplify the computation of external passive component values required for the 2S80 Series Resolver-to-Digital Converters. The application allows users to specify reference frequency, digital resolution, and tracking bandwidth to calculate optimal resistor and capacitor settings.
The software provides graphical displays of the closed-loop transfer function (gain and phase) and small-signal step responses. Users can adjust component values interactively to observe changes in converter dynamics, ensuring proper configuration for specific application requirements.

Questions answered in these manuals
What hardware is required to run this software?
The software requires an IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2, or compatible computer running MS-DOS version 2.0 or higher with at least 256K of RAM.
What is the minimum memory needed?
The system requires 256K of available RAM to run the application.
What is the main advantage of the AD2S83 over mechanical tachogenerators?
The AD2S83 offers a brushless structure that permits reliable maintenance-free operation, unlike mechanical tachogenerators which require regular maintenance due to their commutators and brushes.
What is the linearity error of the AD2S83?
The AD2S83 provides a velocity signal with a linearity error as low as +0.15% of its nominal value.
