    摘要: According to an embodiment, a power supply noise cancelling circuit includes a generator, a first multiplier, a subtractor and a digital-to-analog converter. The generator generates a sine wave signal. The first multiplier multiplies a digital input signal by a digital signal based on the sine wave signal to generate a first digital product signal. The subtractor subtracts a digital signal based on the first digital product signal from the digital input signal to generate a digital difference signal. The digital-to-analog converter performs a digital-to-analog conversion on the digital difference signal to obtain an analog output signal.

    摘要: The present invention is typically embodied as a portable handheld unit that generates synchro signals for input into synchro motors and other synchro devices. A primary genre of inventive application is the testing of hardware and software in synchro systems. The inventive unit typically includes a numeric keypad, an LCD display, a microcontroller, a serial-to-parallel binary data converter, and at least one digital-to-synchro converter. The keypad and display are used to enter decimal data. The microcontroller converts the decimal data to serial binary data. The serial-to-parallel binary data converter converts the serial binary data to parallel binary data. The digital-to-synchro converter(s) convert(s) the parallel binary data to synchro analog data. Some inventive embodiments implement plural digital-to-synchro converters individually corresponding to channels for independently outputting synchro signals. Each channel can represent a specific type of synchro operation, e.g., ship rudder angle, ship speed, ship engine shaft revolution, ship heading, etc.

    摘要: A digital to analog (D/A) converter suitable for application to digital to synchro (D/S) conversion comprises serial MOS FET (Metallic Oxide Semiconductor-Field Effect Transistor) switches and an inverting amplifier, or buffer, to compensate for variations in FET resistance in the ON state. A reference voltage of a given polarity is gated ON in one FET and inverted in polarity in an amplifier with a gain of 1.0 for input to a bank of FET switches associated with a binary resistance network, accomplishing directly the conversion of digital data to an analog equivalent output. The reference voltage thereby gated in the first FET with one polarity is subsequently gated in the second FET switches, of the bank associated with the network, and with the opposite polarity, such that a nearly constant resistance path is afforded from the reference voltage to the output of the second FET switches. Employing identical FET switches throughout the D/A converter, the non-linear properties of the FET switches are compensated regardless of reference voltage polarity. To improve further the accuracy of D/A conversion of the invention, an input resistance is selected for the inverting amplifier equal in value to the resistance of the most significant bit resistor. Compensating resistors affording resistance equalization are provided for at least a few of the next, most significant bit positions resulting in highly accurate digital to analog and digital to synchro conversion using low cost MOS FET switches with high ON resistance.

    摘要: A digital-data to shaft-angle converter that compensates for the non-linear relationship between a 12-bit data word theta 12, representing the desired shaft angle, and its corresponding trigonometric sine and cosine functions as represented by analog voltages. Basically the invention constructs, by empirical means and using linear voltage signals, first and second voltage segments whose amplitudes closely approximate sine and cosine functions, respectively, over the 0* - 45* range. The invention is also capable of constructing by empirical means, third and fourth signals which are mirror images of the first and second signals described above. By proper selection of two of the four possible signals described above and assigning a proper polarity thereto, all in accordance with a truth table, sine and cosine analog voltage signals are generated which can be employed to drive the synchro shaft to any desired angle angular position from 0* to 360*. Both the generation of the 0 - 45 sine and cosine voltage segments (and their mirror images) and the selecting of the proper ones of such generated voltage segments are effected by logic which is directly under the control of the data word theta 12.
