August 31, 1994 853-0043 13721

DESCRIPTION

The NE/SA/SE5521 is a signal conditioning circuit for use with
Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) and Rotary
Variable Differential Transformers (RVDTs). The chip includes a low
distortion, amplitude-stable sine wave oscillator with programmable
frequency to drive the primary of the LVDT/RVDT, a synchronous
demodulator to convert the LVDT/RVDT output amplitude and phase
to position information, and an output amplifier to provide
amplification and filtering of the demodulated signal.

FEATURES

•Low distortion

•Single supply 5V to 20V, or dual supply ±2.5V to ±10V

•Oscillator frequency 1kHz to 20kHz

•Capable of ratiometric operation

•Low power consumption (182mV typ)

APPLICATIONS

•LVDT signal conditioning

•RVDT signal conditioning

•LPDT signal conditioning

•Bridge circuits

3 3 –IN Auxiliary Amplifier inverting input.
4 4 LVDT IN Input to Synchronous Demodulator from the LVDT/RVDT secondary.
5 5 DEMOD OUT Pulsating DC output from the Synchronous Demodulator output. This voltage should be filtered before

use.

6 6 SYNC Synchronizing input for the Synchronizing Demodulator. This input should be connected to the OSC or

OSC

output. Sync is referenced to V

REF

7 7 GND Device return. Should be connected to system ground or to the negative supply.
8 8 NC No internal connection.

-- 9 NC No internal connection.

-- 10 NC No internal connection.
9 11 R

T

A temperature stable 18kΩ resistor should be connected between this pin and Pin 7.

10 12 V

REF

/2 A high impedance source of one half the potential applied to V

REF

. The LVDT/RVDT secondary return
should be to this point. A bypass capacitor with low impedance at the oscillator frequency should also be
connected between this pin and ground.

11 13 OSC Oscillator sine wave output that is 180° out of phase with the OSC signal. The LVDT/RVDT primary is

usually connected between OSC and OSC

pins.

12 14 OSC Oscillator sine wave output. The LVDT/RVDT primaries are usually connected between OSC and OSC

pins.

13 15 FEEDBACK Usually connected to the OSC output for unity gain, a resistor between this pin and OSC, and one be-

tween this pin and ground can provide for a change in the oscillator output pin amplitudes.

14 16 V

REF

Reference voltage input for the oscillator and sine converter. This voltage MUST be stable and must not
exceed +V supply voltage.

15 17 C

T

Oscillator frequency-determining capacitor. The capacitor connected between this pin and ground should
be a temperature-stable type.

16 18 +V Positive supply connection.
