The ASC Panel Mount Solid State Synchro Signal Converter is the superior alternative to electromechanical synchro
signal converters. The ASC PMSSSSC-4 replaces ALL dual-input, quad-output EM SSCs, and adds features not available with
any EM SSC: sum and difference of angles, switch-selectable speed conversion, digital I/O, remote fault reporting, absence of
acoustic and structure-borne noise and vibration, solid-state reliability, improved logistics, and reduced lifecycle costs.
The PMSSSSC-4 accepts 1X/36X inputs (60 or 400 Hz) and outputs TWO PAIRS of 1X/36X outputs (60 or 400 Hz).
Each synchro output can supply more than 5 VA, enough to easily drive a single 15tr4a torque receiver or as many as six 15ct6b
or eight 15ct4c control transformers.
The ASC PMSSSSC-4 is also exceptionally rugged. Its synchro output amplifiers utilize the latest high-voltage power
hybrid operational amplifier technology. The PMSSSSC-4 is fully protected against all output fault, input and output voltage
transient, and over-temperature conditions.
Like the 50 VA dual output PMSSSSC, the PMSSSSC-4 is virtually silent at better than 30 dB below MIL-STD-740-1
(A3) for airborne noise, better than 20 dB below MIL-STD-740-2 for structure-borne noise, both measured under worst-case
conditions of load and frequency of operation; in usual operation Panel Mount Solid State Synchro Signal Converter airborne and
structure-borne noise performance approach the residual levels of the finest instrumentation.
An optional RFI/EMI shielded enclosure is available for stand-alone applications.

Quad Output Panel Mount Solid State Synchro Converter (PMSSSSC-4)

SPECIFICATIONS: Quad Output Panel Mount Solid State Synchro Signal Converter
CONFIGURATION: Dual channel, separate synchro inputs for each channel. Each channel has a pair of synchro
outputs, one of which is operated off the power supply of its opposite channel. Each channel
has separate digital I/O, control and monitor circuitry, and speed/angle conversion.

SYNCHRO INPUTS 55-20 kHz 11.8-90 V synchro, >100 kΩ input impedance, transformer isolated.
(EACH CHANNEL): Max 70 RPS (4200 RPM) at 400 Hz.

SYNCRO OUTPUTS 2 X 60/400 Hz 90 V synchro (independent of input).

(EACH CHANNEL): > 5 VA. Active (TR) or passive (CTR) loads.
< 20 Ω output impedance.
Fully-protected against all output faults.

POWER: Each channel is reference-powered from its own synchro output reference.
Loss of reference will also cancel the corresponding output in the opposite channel.

DIGITAL I/O: RS-422 (balanced differential) 16-bit serial digital synchro inputs & digital synchro outputs.
I/O data rates up to 5 Mbits/sec.

SSC ACCURACY: < 5 arc minutes (1 :1, 5 VA output).

SYNCHRO/DIGITAL < 3 arc minutes.

ACCURACY:

SPEED/ANGLE 1:1, 1:2, 1:18, 1:32, 1:36, 2:1 switch selected.

CONVERSIONS: Sum of angles, difference of angles using digital I/O between channels.

ENVIRONMENTAL: -25 to +65 ° C ambient operating.

95% Relative Humidity at 0 - 50 ° C. Meets MiI-S-901 D shock.

NO adjustment, scheduled or preventative maintenance required.

PROTECTION: Full Safe-Operating-Area & over temperature protected. PMSSSSC can not be damaged by
any output load condition. Load/PMSSSSC fault-detection, shutdown and reporting for each
channel. Synchro inputs and outputs are transient/lightning strike protected.
