Functional Block Diagram

From the functional block diagram of the AD2S1210BSTZ, the main structure includes a reference oscillator, ADC, Type II tracking loop, position and velocity registers, fault detection module, and data interface. The internal reference oscillator (DAC) and reference synthesis module work together to generate the excitation signal required by the resolver. The “Excitation Outputs” provide stable sine waves to drive the external resolver.
The sine and cosine signals from the resolver are converted by the ADC and then sent to the Type II tracking loop. This loop calculates the angle and speed in real time and sends the results to the position and velocity registers. This design ensures high accuracy and stable tracking performance even during dynamic operation.
The AD2S1210BSTZ also integrates a fault detection module that monitors input signal errors, oscillator failures, or loss of tracking. Fault information is reported through specific output pins. The chip also includes encoder emulation outputs and a data bus interface for easy communication with external controllers, supporting flexible data reading, writing, and configuration.
