The interpolation circuit GC-IP2000 serves to increase the resolution for incremental position and angular measuring systems with sinusoidal output signals offset by 90°. The IC divides the signal period up to 2048 times.
The GC-IP2000 comprises three instrument amplifiers with adjustable gain factors. Incremental encoders with a voltage interface and measuring bridges can be connected directly. Sensors with current interface and photodiode-arrays are adapted by a simple external circuit. The IC may operate with both single-ended and differential input signals. The noise of the sensor signals is prevented by a switching analog filter. Additionally, a digital hysteresis can suppress the edge noise of the output signals at low input frequencies and at standstill. Thus, in case of a short-time disturbance of the input signals, a subsequent interpolation counter will operate without errors.
The input signals are subjected to an AMAC-specific internal gain and offset control. The amplitude is controlled in the range between 60 % and 120 % of the nominal amplitude. The control range for the offset of the two input signals is ±10 % of the nominal amplitude. The phase displacement of the input signals can be corrected statically between -10° and +10° using a digital potentiometer. The quality of the signals issued by the sensors is monitored in the IC. For that purpose it is possible to activate separately 9 sources producing an error signal.
The propagation delay of the IC is only 5µs. A fast serial interface (SPI) is implemented. This interface operates at a clock frequency of up to 25MHz and is compatible to all important micro-controller and DSP families. In addition, a timer and a multi-stage trigger are implemented. This features make the GC-IP2000 an ideal choice for use in fast controllers or control systems.
The IC is configured specifically to the particular application via configuration pins, an EEPROM or via the serial interface of the GC-IP2000.
