2 OVERVIEW
The SB-3642 is a Front-I/O PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) with up to eight channels of
Synchro or Resolver conversion. The SB-3642utilizes a PCI interface (Revision 3.0
Compliant 32-bit, 33/66 MHz). It is available in the industrial and commercial operating
temperature ranges.
The conversion in each channel utilizes DDC’s RD-19230 converter, which has a long
history of proven performance. For complete converter specifications, the RD-19230
Datasheet can be downloaded from the DDC website.
2.1 Features
Resolver Conversion
•Four or Eight Independent Resolver-to-Digital Channels
- 2V, 11.8Vrms, and 90Vrms Synchro and Resolver Ordering Options
•Utilizes High Accuracy RD-19230 Converters
•Software Programmable Resolution (10,12,14, or 16 bits)
•Software Programmable Bandwidth (Low or High Bandwidth)
•Self-Test, Built-in-Test, and Velocity Outputs
•Incremental Encoder Emulation (A quad B outputs) with Independent
Resolution Control (4-channel ordering option only)
•Configurable Two-Speed Conversion
•Synthesized Reference and Independent Reference Inputs for Each Channel
General
•VITA-47 Shock and Vibration Tested
•RoHS Compliant (Lead-free and hazardous substance-free)
•-40⁰ to +85⁰C Temperature Range
•32-bit/66 MHz PCI Rev. 3.0 Compliant Interface
•Operates in 3.3V or 5V PCI Signaling Environments
•Front Panel I/O (68-Pin) Air-Cooled Design
•Only 5V & 3.3V Supply Required (+/- 12V not needed)
•Four Opto-Isolated Discrete Input and Four Discrete Outputs for External
Control Functions (4-channel ordering option only)

The card includes SB-36030Sx Motion Feedback Library along with code samples
and detailed documentation. To install the latest official software from DDC, download
via DDC’s website at www.ddc-web.com/.
2.2 System Requirements
•PCI-PMC connector supporting 3.3 or 5V PCI signaling
•PCI-PMC connector with +5V and +3.3V supply voltage available
•A supported operating system
2.3 Configuration Options
Table 1. Input Signal Options
Ordering Option (x) SB-3642x
Signal Input Bandwidth
0 2V Single-Ended 80 Hz / 300 Hz
1 11.8Vrms Synchro 80 Hz / 300 Hz
2 11.8 Vrms Resolver 80 Hz / 300 Hz
3 90Vrms Synchro 80 Hz / 300 Hz
4 90Vrms Synchro 15 Hz / 45 Hz
2.4 Applications
The SB-3642 PMC card’s rugged construction and ability to operate over the industrial
temperature range makes it ideal for use in mission computers and other embedded
systems. This device can be combined with carrier cards for use in VME or cPCI
control systems employing 33/66MHz bus. The card also provides an ideal solution for
encoder-based systems that will mate with Resolver inputs. The card is a valuable
addition to design and test teams involved with resolver simulation and positioning.
Resolvers are used in applications that include modern high performance industrial
and military position feedback and control systems. Typical motion feedback
applications include motor control, machine tool control, antenna control, robotics, and
process control systems.

2.5 Mechanical Design
The SB-3642is a Front-I/O air-cooled PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) designed to meet
or exceed vibration requirements specified in VITA-47 for a class V2 in air-cooled
applications. The SB-3642card also features CCPMC (Conduction Cooled PMC)
thermal rails and connector “anti-fretting” mounting holes per VITA-20-2005.
The front panel I/O connector layout uses a 68-pin front panel connection. The board
has conduction rails that do not interfere with the front panel connector. The front
panel connector includes a metal backshell with fastening thumbscrews.
The SB-3642is designed to meet or exceed the humidity requirements of ANSI/VITA
47, and has been tested to withstand 95% humidity.
To operate within the specified -40 to +85°C operating temperature, supplemental air
cooling of 300 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) in the system is required. The SB-3642
utilizes a custom heat sink design using the conduction cooled rails to efficiently
operate within the temperature range.
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) report is available upon factory request.
