ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a signal processing circuit using Phase Locking method for phase correction of RVDT sensor. A digital phase correction method using a conventional demodulator has been used to correct the phase using demodulation signals. Therefore, the chip size increases because a ROM table is needed to generate the demodulation signal. Proposed phase correction circuit is performed using a reference signal instead of a demodulation signal for phase correction. The chip size decreases because there is no need to make a demodulation signal. The design is TSMC 0.18um CMOS technology and the supply voltage is 1.8V. The proposed circuit has a 94% reduction in chip size compared to the conventional Costas loop type circuit.
