AD598 NOTES 1V and V represent the Mean Average Deviation (MAD) of the detected sine waves. Note that for this Transfer Function to linearly represent positive displacement, A B the sum of V and V of the LVDT must remain constant with stroke length. See “Theory of Operation.” Also see Figures 7 and 12 for R2. A B 2From T , to T , the overall error due to the AD598 alone is determined by combining gain error, gain drift and offset drift. For example the worst case overall MIN MAX error for the AD598AD from T to T is calculated as follows: overall error = gain error at +25(cid:176)C (– 1% full scale) + gain drift from –40(cid:176)C to +25(cid:176)C (50 ppm/(cid:176)C MIN MAX of FS · +65(cid:176)C) + offset drift from –40(cid:176)C to +25(cid:176)C (50 ppm/(cid:176)C of FS · +65(cid:176)C) = – 1.65% of full scale. Note that 1000 ppm of full scale equals 0.1% of full scale. Full scale is defined as the voltage difference between the maximum positive and maximum negative output. 3Nonlinearity of the AD598 only, in units of ppm of full scale. Nonlinearity is defined as the maximum measured deviation of the AD598 output voltage from a straight line. The straight line is determined by connecting the maximum produced full-scale negative voltage with the maximum produced full-scale positive voltage. 4See Transfer Function. 5This offset refers to the (V –V )/(V +V ) input spanning a full-scale range of – 1. [For (V –V )/(V +V ) to equal +1, V must equal zero volts; and correspondingly A B A B A B A B B for (V –V )/(V +V ) to equal –1, V must equal zero volts. Note that offset errors do not allow accurate use of zero magnitude inputs, practical inputs are limited to A B A B A 100 mV rms.] The – 1 span is a convenient reference point to define offset referred to input. For example, with this input span a value of R2 = 20 kW would give V span a value of – 10 volts. Caution, most LVDTs will typically exercise less of the ((V –V ))/((V +V )) input span and thus require a larger value of R2 to OUT A B A B produce the – 10 V output span. In this case the offset is correspondingly magnified when referred to the output voltage. For example, a Schaevitz E100 LVDT requires 80.2 kW for R2 to produce a – 10.69 V output and (V –V )/(V +V ) equals 0.27. This ratio may be determined from the graph shown in Figure 18, A B A B (V –V )/(V +V ) = (1.71 V rms – 0.99 V rms)/(1.71 V rms + 0.99 V rms). The maximum offset value referred to the – 10.69 V output may be determined by A B A B multiplying the maximum value shown in the data sheet (– 1% of FS by 1/0.27 which equals – 3.7% maximum. Similarly, to determine the maximum values of offset drift, offset CMRR and offset PSRR when referred to the – 10.69 V output, these data sheet values should also be multiplied by (1/0.27). For this example for the AD598AD the maximum values of offset drift, PSRR offset and CMRR offset would be: 185 ppm/(cid:176)C of FS; 741 ppm/V and 741 ppm/V respectively when referred to the – 10.69 V output. 6For example, if the excitation to the primary changes by 1 dB, the gain of the system will change by typically 100 ppm. 7Output ripple is a function of the AD598 bandwidth determined by C2, C3 and C4. See Figures 16 and 17. 8R1 is shown in Figures 7 and 12. 9Excitation voltage drift is not an important specification because of the ratiometric operation of the AD598. Specifications subject to change without notice. Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tested are used to calculate outgoing quality levels. All min and max specifications are guaranteed, although only those shown in boldface are tested on all production units.

The transducer itself is very quick to respond once the core is moved. The dynamics arise prima- rily from the interface electronics. Figures 13, 14 and 15 show the frequency response of the AD598 LVDT Signal Condi- tioner. Note that Figures 14 and 15 are basically the same; the difference is frequency range covered. Figure 14 shows a wider range of mechanical input frequencies at the expense of accu- racy. Figure 15 shows a more limited frequency range with en- hanced accuracy. The figures are transfer functions with the input to be considered as a sinusoidally varying mechanical posi- tion and the output as the voltage from the AD598; the units of the transfer function are volts per inch. The value of C2, C3 and C4, from Figure 7, are all equal and designated as a parameter in the figures. The response is approximately that of two real poles. However, there is appreciable excess phase at higher fre- quencies. An additional pole of filtering can be introduced with a shunt capacitor across R2, (see Figure 7); this will also in- crease phase lag. When selecting values of C2, C3 and C4 to set the bandwidth of the system, a trade-off is involved. There is ripple on the “dc” position output voltage, and the magnitude is determined by the filter capacitors. Generally, smaller capacitors will give higher system bandwidth and larger ripple.

If the die Figure 16.Output Voltage Ripple vs. Filter Capacitance temperature reaches 165(cid:176) C, the sine wave excitation amplitude gradually reduces, thereby lowering the internal power dissipa- tion and temperature. Due to the ratiometric operation of the decoder circuit, only small errors result from the reduction of the excitation ampli- tude. Under these conditions the signal-processing section of the AD598 continues to meet its output specifications. The thermal load depends upon the voltage and current deliv- ered to the load as well as the power supply potentials. An LVDT Primary will present an inductive load to the sine wave excitation. The phase angle between the excitation voltage and current must also be considered, further complicating thermal calculations. REV. A –9–

AD598 OPERATION WITH A HALF-BRIDGE TRANSDUCER trial and error. The 300 W resistors in this circuit optimize the Although the AD598 is not intended for use with a half-bridge nonlinearity of the transfer function to within several tenths of type transducer, it may be made to function with degraded 1%. This circuit uses a Sangamo AGH1 half-bridge transducer. performance. The 1 m F capacitor blocks the dc offset of the excitation output signal. The 4 nF capacitor sets the transducer excitation fre- A half-bridge type transducer is a popular transducer. It works quency to 10 kHz as recommended by the manufacturer. in a similar manner to the LVDT in that two coils are wound around a moveable core and the inductance of each coil is a ALTERNATE HALF-BRIDGE TRANSDUCER CIRCUIT function of core position. This circuit suffers from similar accuracy problems to those In the circuit shown in Figure 27 the VA and VB input voltages mentioned in the previous circuit description.
