PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD598 is a complete, monolithic Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) signal conditioning subsystem. It is
used in conjunction with LVDTs to convert transducer mechanical position to a unipolar or bipolar dc voltage with a high
degree of accuracy and repeatability. All circuit functions are
included on the chip. With the addition of a few external passive
components to set frequency and gain, the AD598 converts the
raw LVDT secondary output to a scaled dc signal. The device
can also be used with RVDT transducers.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
3. The 20 Hz to 20 kHz LVDT excitation frequency is determined by a single external capacitor. The AD598 input signal need not be synchronous with the LVDT primary drive.
This means that an external primary excitation, such as the
400 Hz power mains in aircraft, can be used.
The AD598 uses a unique ratiometric architecture (patent pending) to eliminate several of the disadvantages associated with
traditional approaches to LVDT interfacing. The benefits of this
new circuit are: no adjustments are necessary, transformer null
voltage and primary to secondary phase shift does not affect system accuracy, temperature stability is improved, and transducer
interchangeability is improved.

NOTES
1
VA and VB represent the Mean Average Deviation (MAD) of the detected sine waves. Note that for this Transfer Function to linearly represent positive displacement,
the sum of V A and VB of the LVDT must remain constant with stroke length. See Theory of Operation. Also see Figures 7 and 12 for R2.
2
From TMIN, to TMAX, the overall error due to the AD598 alone is determined by combining gain error, gain drift and offset drift. For example the worst case overall
error for the AD598AD from TMIN to TMAX is calculated as follows: overall error = gain error at +25C ( 1% full scale) + gain drift from 40C to +25C (50 ppm/C
of FS +65C) + offset drift from 40C to +25C (50 ppm/C of FS +65C) = 1.65% of full scale. Note that 1000 ppm of full scale equals 0.1% of full scale.
Full scale is defined as the voltage difference between the maximum positive and maximum negative output.
3
Nonlinearity of the AD598 only, in units of ppm of full scale. Nonlinearity is defined as the maximum measured deviation of the AD598 output voltage from a
straight line. The straight line is determined by connecting the maximum produced full-scale negative voltage with the maximum produced full-scale positive voltage.
4
See Transfer Function.
5
This offset refers to the (V AVB)/(VA+VB) input spanning a full-scale range of 1. [For (VAVB)/(VA+VB) to equal +1, V B must equal zero volts; and correspondingly
for (VAVB)/(VA+VB) to equal 1, VA must equal zero volts. Note that offset errors do not allow accurate use of zero magnitude inputs, practical inputs are limited to
100 mV rms.] The 1 span is a convenient reference point to define offset referred to input. For example, with this input span a value of R2 = 20 k would give
VOUT span a value of 10 volts. Caution, most LVDTs will typically exercise less of the ((V AVB))/((VA+VB)) input span and thus require a larger value of R2 to
produce the 10 V output span. In this case the offset is correspondingly magnified when referred to the output voltage. For example, a Schaevitz E100 LVDT
requires 80.2 k for R2 to produce a 10.69 V output and (V AVB)/(VA+VB) equals 0.27. This ratio may be determined from the graph shown in Figure 18,
(VAVB)/(VA+VB) = (1.71 V rms 0.99 V rms)/(1.71 V rms + 0.99 V rms). The maximum offset value referred to the 10.69 V output may be determined by
multiplying the maximum value shown in the data sheet ( 1% of FS by 1/0.27 which equals 3.7% maximum. Similarly, to determine the maximum values of offset
drift, offset CMRR and offset PSRR when referred to the 10.69 V output, these data sheet values should also be multiplied by (1/0.27). For this example for the
AD598AD the maximum values of offset drift, PSRR offset and CMRR offset would be: 185 ppm/ C of FS; 741 ppm/V and 741 ppm/V respectively when referred
to the 10.69 V output.
6
For example, if the excitation to the primary changes by 1 dB, the gain of the system will change by typically 100 ppm.
7
Output ripple is a function of the AD598 bandwidth determined by C2, C3 and C4. See Figures 16 and 17.
8
R1 is shown in Figures 7 and 12.

Excitation voltage drift is not an important specification because of the ratiometric operation of the AD598.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tested are used to calculate outgoing quality levels. All

polarity of the output voltage. There are a number of problems
associated with this technique such as (1) producing a constant
amplitude, constant frequency excitation signal, (2) compensating
for LVDT primary to secondary phase shifts, and (3) compensating for these shifts as a function of temperature and frequency.

AD598Applications
The value of R3 or R4 can be calculated using one of two separate methods. First, a potentiometer may be connected between
Pins 18 and 19 of the AD598, with the wiper connected to
VSUPPLY. This gives a small offset of either polarity; and the
value can be calculated using Step 10 of the design procedures.
For a large offset in one direction, replace either R3 or R4 with
a potentiometer with its wiper connected to VSUPPLY.
Figure 20 shows an elastic member (steel proving ring) combined with an LVDT to provide a means of measuring very
small loads. Figure 19 shows the electrical circuit details.
The advantage of using a Proving Ring in combination with an
LVDT is that no friction is involved between the core and the
coils of the LVDT. This means that weights can be measured
without confusion from frictional forces. This is especially important for very low full-scale weight applications.

The Proving Ring used in this circuit has a temperature coefficient of 250 ppm/C due to Youngs Modulus of steel. By putting a resistor with a temperature coefficient in place of R2 it is
possible to temperature compensate the weigh-scale. Since the
steel of the Proving Ring gets softer at higher temperatures, the
deflection for a given force is larger, so a resistor with a negative
temperature coefficient is required.

The V/F converter is currently set up for unipolar operation.
The AD652 data sheet explains how to set up for bipolar operation. Note that when the LVDT core is centered, the output frequency is zero. When the LVDT core is positioned off center,
and to one side, the frequency increases to a full-scale value.
To introduce bipolar operation to this circuit, an offset must be
introduced at the LVDT as shown in Step 10 of the design
procedures.
LOW COST SET-POINT CONTROLLER
A low cost set-point controller can be implemented with the circuit shown in Figure 23. Such a circuit could possibly be used
in automobile fuel control systems. The potentiometer, P1, is
attached to the gas pedal, and the LVDT is attached to the butterfly valve of the fuel injection system or carburetor. The position of the butterfly valve is electronically controlled by the
position of the gas pedal, without mechanical linkage.
This circuit is a simple two IC closed loop servo-controller. It is
simple because the LVDT circuit is functioning as the loop integrator. By putting a capacitor in the feedback path (normally occupied by R2), the output signal from the AD598 corresponds
to the time integral of the position being measured by the
LVDT. The LVDT position signal is summed with the offset
signal introduced by the potentiometer, P1. Since this sum is integrated, it must be forced to zero. Thus the LVDT position is
forced to follow the value of the input potentiometer, P1. The
output signal from the AD598 drives the LM675 power amplifier, which in turn drives the solenoid.
This circuit has dual advantages of being both low cost and high
accuracy. The high accuracy results from avoiding the offset errors normally associated with converting the LVDT signal to a
voltage and then subsequently integrating that voltage.
MECHANICAL FOLLOWER SERVO-LOOP
Figure 24 shows how two Schaevitz E100 LVDTs may be combined with two AD598s in a mechanical follower servo-loop
configuration. One of the LVDTs provides the mechanical input
position signal, while the other LVDT mimics the motion.
The signal from the input position circuit is fed to the output as
a current so that voltage offset errors are avoided. This current

PRECISION DIFFERENTIAL GAGING
The circuit shown in Figure 26 is functionally similar to the differential gaging circuit shown in Figure 25. In contrast to Figure
25, it provides a means of independently adjusting the scale factor of each LVDT so that both scale factors may be matched.

trial and error. The 300 resistors in this circuit optimize the
nonlinearity of the transfer function to within several tenths of
1%. This circuit uses a Sangamo AGH1 half-bridge transducer.
The 1 F capacitor blocks the dc offset of the excitation output
signal. The 4 nF capacitor sets the transducer excitation frequency to 10 kHz as recommended by the manufacturer.
