The 2 V option eliminates the need for an input scaling network and allows operation with a lower reference voltage. Figure 3.4.1-1 shows a typical DDC- 19200 used on the VMIVME-4941. In a resolver, shaft angle data is transmitted as the ratio of carrier amplitudes across the terminals.

500-004941-000 dΩ/dt without lag. The output data will always be fresh and available as long as the maximum tracking rate of the converter is not exceeded. The converter automatically zero-sets all of the internal op amps twice per carrier cycle near the zero crossings of the reference. This contributes to the converter’s superior dynamic performance.
Built-in-Test is performed under software control in which the D/R output board is used as a resolver input for the VMIVME-4941. The VMIVME-4941's CSR is programmed to connect all four R/D modules to the P2 resolver input channel. Thus, a digital word is transferred to the D/R board and can...
500-004941-000 be read back on all channels and a software compare performed on the digital data. Using this scheme all R/D converters can be tested in the same software test loop. The reader should refer to Section 4 for additional programming details. A front panel Fail LED is initialized on during power-up reset and may be extinguished via program control upon successful completion of diagnostics.
500-004941-000 SECTION 4 PROGRAMMING REGISTER MAP The VMIVME-4941 contains four 16-bit registers corresponding to four R/D converters, four 16 bit pitch counters, and a 32-bit Control and Status Register (CSR). All the registers are byte, word, and longword addressable. Furthermore, the pitch counter register and the R/D data register for a single channel can be read as a single longword.
RELAY CONTROL BITS 24, 25, 26 AND 27 SHOULD NEVER BE SET WHEN THE TEST MODE BIT (BIT 28) IS SET. FAILURE TO HEED THIS PROGRAMMING NOTE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE VMIVME-4941 BOARD. THE PROBLEM CAN BE CAUSED BY THE SIMULTANEOUS CONNECTION OF MORE THAN ONE VOLTAGE SOURCE TO THE CONVERTER INPUT.

500-004941-000 4.4.4 R/D CONVERTER BANDWIDTH CONTROL The CSR also contains bits that provide the user with the capability of selecting HI or LO bandwidth options as shown in the following matrix: RESOLUTION (Values in RPS/volts) BW (XHB) 1.25 1.25 0.32 The format of the CSR is shown in Table 4.1-2.
All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete report sent to VMIC together with a request for advice concerning disposition of the damaged item(s).
500-004941-000 ADDRESS MODIFIERS The VMIVME-4941 is designed to respond to short supervisory or non- privileged I/O access (switch selectable). Set the AM2 switch (refer to Figure 5.5-1) to OFF to select short supervisory access or to ON to select short non-privileged access.

5.9.2 Differential Input Option - Resolver All jumpers must be removed from the JA jumper field to configure the VMIVME-4941 for differential signal inputs. Jumpers JG, JH, JI, and JJ must be installed. If the differential (11.8 V) option was purchased and single-ended operation is desired, then all jumpers must be installed in the JA jumper field as shown in Figure 5.9.2-1.
