CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY
General Description:
The Aeroflex Laboratories transceiver
model ACT4808 is a new generation
Dual monolithic transceiver which
provides full compliance with Macair
and
MIL-STD-1553
data
bus
requirements
The model ACT4808 performs the
front-end analog function of inputting
and outputting data through a
transformer to a MIL-STD-1553 or
Macair data bus. The ACT4808 can
be
considered
a
"Universal"
Transceiver in that it is compatible
with MIL-STD-1553A & B, Macair
A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and A-5690.
Design of this transceiver reflects
particular attention to active filter
performance. This results in low bit
and word error rate with superior
waveform purity and minimal zero
crossover distortion. The ACT4808
series active filter design has
additional high frequency roll-off to
provide the required Macair low
harmonic distortion waveform without
increasing
the
pulse
delay
characteristics significantly.
Efficient transmitter electrical and
thermal design provides low internal
power dissipation and heat rise at
high and well as low duty cycles.The
receiver input threshold is set
Internally.

inputs are held low or high, the
transmitter output becomes a high
impedance and is “removed” from
the line. In addition, an overriding
“INHIBIT" input provides for the
removal of the transmitter output
from the line. A logic “1” applied to
the “INHIBIT” takes priority over the
condition of the data inputs and
disables the transmitter. (See
Transmitter
Logic
Waveforms,
Figure 1.)
The transmitter utilizes an active
filter to suppress harmonics above
1 MHz to meet Macair specifications
A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and
A-5690. The transmitter may be
safely operated for an indefinite
period at 100% duty cycle into a
data bus short circuit (Pt. A-A’).
Receiver
The Receiver section accepts
bi-phase differential data at the input
and produces two TTL signals at the
output. The outputs are DATA and
DATA, and represent positive and
negative excursions of the input
beyond a pre-determined threshold.
(See Receiver Logic Waveforms,
Figure 2.)
The internal threshold is nominally
set to detect data bus signals
exceeding 1.10 Volts P-P and reject
signals less than 0.6 Volts P-P
when used with a 1:1 turns ratio
transformer. (See Figure 4 for
transformer data and typical
connection.)
A low level at the Strobe input
inhibits the DATA and DATA
outputs.

NOTES:
1. Line to line waveforms illustrate Macair signals, MIL-STD-1553 signals are trapezoidal
2. DATA and DATA inputs must be complementary waveforms or 50% duty cycle average, with no delays between them.
3. DATA and DATA must be in the same state during off time (both high or low).
