The SDS regenerates the AC to eliminate line noise. Then the resulting output voltage has a crystal calibrated oscillator with the frequency, that you set. to keep the the motor speed exact, compared to the supplied strobe. The SDS also generates a flattened sine wave that is reduced in amplitude, for reduced noise, after the motor starts.
Do you think a simple circuit board can do all that?
Harry is feeding you B.S.
That little circuit board is no SDS!
