DDC's Synchro/Resolver Solutions
Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital | Digital-to-Synchro/Resolver
Since introducing the first synchro converter module in 1968, DDC has taken the lead role in the design and
manufacture of modern data conversion products. Written by our expert staff, the Synchro/Resolver Conversion
Handbook was the first integrated reference source on synchro/resolver data converters, and has served as a
teaching aid for many engineers and operators over the years.
DDC offers a complete line of Synchro/Resolver instrument-grade cards and test equipment including angle position
indicators and simulators, plus a variety of hardware and software to meet today’s commercial, military, and COTS/
MOTS requirements.
Moreover, DDC is the world’s leading supplier of Synchro/Resolver-to-Digital and Digital-to-Synchro/Resolver
components—the smallest, most accurate synchro/resolver-to-digital and digital-to-synchro/resolver converters
available, today. Most of these single chip and hybrid converters are based on ASIC designs, yielding the most
reliable converters ever offered, and are the building blocks for DDC’s card-level products.
Military and industrial applications include radar, IR, and navigation systems, fire control, flight instrumentation/
simulators, motor/motion feedback controls and drives, and robotics systems. MIL-PRF-38534 processing is
available on many products.
Form Factors, Software, & Drivers
As the link between user and hardware, software determines the quality of the user's experience. DDC is
committed to supplying the latest drivers and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) to support our hardware. GUIs are
supplied with the SB-36240, our six-channel angle indicator PCI card, and the SB-3622X, our six-channel angle
simulator PCI card. DDC provides support for high-levelfunction calls to support embedded test program
development.
DDC supplies Synchro/Resolver board level products in a variety of form factors including multichannel and
instrument grade USB, PCI-Express, PCI, cPCI, PMC, PC/104, ISA, and VME boards.

This manual contains a detailed installation guide for the SB-3624XIX-3L0 PCI Card
and a basic overview of the software supplied with the card. The Synchro API Library
and Driver installations for Windows®8, Windows®7, Windows®Vista, Windows®
2000, Windows®XP, Windows NT®, and Linux will be covered in this manual.
LabVIEW Support Software for Windows will also be covered.
The library software provides a level of abstraction such that it is not necessary to
understand the operation of the chip set. This manual provides detailed
documentation on the functions of the library.

3 OVERVIEW
The SB-3624XIX-3L0 provides intelligent interfacing between a Synchro or Resolver's
output and a PCI Bus. The SB-3624XIX-3L0 is packaged as a half-size PCI card.
3.1 Features
•Plug-and-Play (PnP) compatible for easy installation
•Utilizes six RD-19230 converters
•Software Programmable Resolution (10,12,14 or 16 bits)
•Software Programmable Bandwidth
•On-Board Oscillator (optional voltage range)
•Transformer Isolation Available for 90 V Synchro, 60 Hz frequency
•Turns Counter
•Self Test
Application software has the capability to display position for either six channels of
single speed or three channels of two-speed. Included with each SB-3624XIX-3L0
PCI Card is the Synchro API Library with example source code that allows users to
easily write their own application software for the card.
3.2 System Requirements
The PC must be configured with a Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, or Linux 32/64 bit
operating system.
3.3 Supported Hardware
The SB-36040S0 SDK will support the following card series:
•SB-3624x – Half-size PCI Input Card Series
•SB-3621x– Full-size PCI Input Card Series

3.4 Applications
The SB-3624XIX-3L0 is designed for test applications involving angle position
measurements from synchro and resolver sensors. Synchros and resolvers are used
in applications such as motor control, industrial automation, robotics, antenna
positioning, and valve control. This device is ideal for test engineers and developers to
perform lab testing on these types of applications. Applications 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. The SB-3624XIX-3L0 is supplied with a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) to analyze position information, turns count, direction
and BIT.
