TIMER-BASED RESOLVER INTEGRAL DEMODULATION
A digital signal processing system to determine a position of a resolver includes a digital signal processor that includes first timer and second timer. The first timer creates a resolver excitation signal from a series of samples and creates an incrementing Crossing signal each time the resolver excitation signal crosses zero. When the Crossing signal has a first value, a multiplexer provides resolver sine signals to an analog to digital converter to convert the resolver sine signal to a series of digital sine samples, and the second timer stores the series of digital sine samples in a sine sample buffer. When the Crossing signal has a second value, the multiplexer provides the resolver cosine signal to the analog to digital converter to convert the resolver cosine signal to a series of digital cosine samples, and the second timer stores the series of digital cosine samples in a buffer.
Semiconductor device
In a semiconductor device, a sine wave signal is input to a first input part and a cosine wave signal is input to a second input part. A multiplexer alternately selects one of the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal. An analog to digital converter converts the output signal of the multiplexer into a digital value. A switching circuit is coupled between at least one of the first and second input parts and the multiplexer. The switching circuit is configured to be able to invert the input sine wave signal or the input cosine wave signal, in order to reduce the angle detection error due to the non-linearity error of the A/D converter.

TRANSFORMERLESS DEMODULATION OF SYNCHRO-RESOLVER
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a transformer-less way of demodulating signals generated by a synchro-resolver so as to determine a shaft angle of the synchro-resolver. A first differential output voltage between a first pair of the wye-configured secondary windings is used to generate a first output. A second differential output voltage between a second pair of the wye-configured secondary windings, different from the first pair, is used to generate a second output. The first and second outputs are combined to form a signal quadrature to the first output. The first output and the signal quadrature thereto are used to determine the shaft angle.
