Product catalog summary
Overview
The AIP40 Interpolation IC is designed to enhance the resolution of incremental position and angular measuring systems with sine-shaped output signals. It supports both standard voltage and current signals and can directly connect to photodiode arrays and sensor bridges. Key features include adjustable minimum A/B-edge distance and programmable analogue and digital hysteresis for noisy input signals.
Features
  • Supports sine, cosine, and reference signals, both differential and single-ended.
  • Adjustable gain for various input signal amplitudes.
  • Outputs 90° square wave signals compatible with TTL and CMOS.
  • Interpolation rates of 4 to 40 edges per sine period.
  • Maximum input frequency up to 1.2MHz, depending on interpolation rate.
  • Noise suppression through adjustable hysteresis and edge distance.
  • Available in a TSSOP20 package.
Ordering Information
The product type is GC-AIP40, an interpolation circuit available in a TSSOP20 package, compliant with RoHS standards.
Pinning
The IC features 20 pins, including inputs for cosine and sine signals, configuration pins for interpolation and gain adjustment, power supply pins, and output pins for reference and incremental signals.
Configuration
Configuration options include various interpolation rates and edge distances, adjustable through digital and analogue settings. The interpolation rate determines the number of increments per input signal period.
Functional Description
  • Input Amplifier: Features three instrumentation amplifiers with adjustable gain factors, suitable for sensors with voltage output signals and measuring bridges.
  • Interpolation: Analogue sine and cosine signals are interpolated and output as square waves with a 90-degree phase shift.
  • Hysteresis: Configurable analogue and digital hysteresis to reduce edge noise at lower frequencies.
  • Edge Distance Control: Adjustable minimum distance between output signal edges to ensure error-free counting.
Parameters
  • Absolute Maximum Ratings: Includes supply voltage, operating and storage temperature limits.
  • Operating Conditions: Specifies supply voltage, current consumption, and operating temperature range.
  • Analogue Parameters: Details input impedance, gain, cut-off frequency, and phase shift.
  • Interpolation Parameters: Lists input frequency limits and angle errors for different interpolation rates.
Application Notes
  • General Information: All IC inputs must be connected to a defined level, with blocking capacitors required at specific pins.
  • 4-State Logic: Describes configuration possibilities using 4-state logic pins.
  • Sensor Adjustment: Instructions for checking and adjusting sensor outputs using the instrumentation amplifier and interpolation rates.
  • Application Circuits: Illustrates configurations for sensors with differential and single-ended outputs.
Sensor Configurations
  • Single-ended Outputs: Gain is set by input signal amplitude. The reference level V0 is generated by AIP40 with a maximum current of 500µA.
  • Current Outputs/Photodiodes: Gain-pin set to 530mV nominal. External resistors are required, with a suggested value of 25kΩ for an amplitude of 11µApp.
  • Without Reference Signals: State at Z-output is set via REFP and REFN pins.
Configuration
The GAIN, CFG0, and CFG1 pins use a 4-value logic for configuration, which can be connected to VCC, GND, or V0.
Square Wave Outputs
Outputs A, B, and Z are CMOS outputs capable of driving up to 4 mA. An external line-driver is needed for RS422-interface.
Conclusion
The document provides detailed instructions for configuring and using the AIP40 sensor in various applications, emphasizing the importance of correct resistor values and gain settings to ensure optimal performance.

Sensors with voltage output signals as well as measuring bridges can be connected directly. Current sensors can be adapted via a simple circuit. The IC is able to process single-ended as well as differential signals. The gain setting happens using the pin GAIN, which is connected to GND, DVDD, V0 or is left open. The chosen gain is identic for all signals of the sensor (sine, cosine, index/reference). To adapt the AIP40 to specific sensors the reference...

Functional Description 6.4 Edge Distance Control The minimum distance tpp at which the output signals A and B can switch is adjustable. After the switching of one of the outputs the following edge of the other signal occurs if the time t pp was passed. So a following counter is able to count without error also in case of fast distortions. But there is no synchronisation with a clock. Usually the edges are generated without a delay. A A and B switch at same time → input frequency too high Figure 9 Minimum Edge Distance The maximum input frequency is defined by the minimum A/B-edge distance and...
