DESCRIPTION
The NE/SA/SE5521 is a signal conditioning circuit for use with Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) and Rotary Variable Differential Transformers (RVDTs). The chip includes a low distortion, amplitude-stable sine wave oscillator with programmable frequency to drive the primary of the LVDT/RVDT, a synchronous demodulator to convert the LVDT/RVDT output amplitude and phase to position information, and an output amplifier to provide amplification and filtering of the demodulated signal.

FEATURES
• Low distortion
• Single supply 5V to 20V, or dual supply ±2.5V to ±10V
• Oscillator frequency 1kHz to 20kHz
• Capable of ratiometric operation
• Low power consumption (182mV typ)

APPLICATIONS
• LVDT signal conditioning
• RVDT signal conditioning
• LPDT signal conditioning
• Bridge circuits
