General Description
The Aeroflex Laboratories driver ACT4077
are new generation monolithic Drivers which
provide full compliance with Macair and
MIL-STD-1553 data bus requirements
The ACT4077 performs the front-end analog
function of inputting and outputting data
through a transformer to a MIL-STD-1553 or
Macair data bus. The ACT4077 can be
considered a "Universal" Driver in that it is
compatible with MIL-STD-1553A, B, Macair
A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and A-5690.
Design of the Driver 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 ACT4077 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 Driver electrical and thermal design
provides low internal power dissipation and
heat rise at high and well as low duty cycles.
The Driver section accepts bi-phase TTL
data at the input and when coupled to the data
bus with a 1:1 transformer, isolated on the
data bus side with two 52.5 Ohm fault isolation
resistors, and loaded by two 70 Ohm
terminations plus additional receivers, the data
bus signal produced is 7.0 Volts minimum P-P
at A-A’. (See Figure 4.) When both DATA and
DATA inputs are held low or high, the Driver
output becomes a high impedance and is
“removed” from the line. In addition, an
overriding “INHIBIT" input provides for the
removal of the Driver output from the line. A
logic “1” applied to the “INHIBIT” takes priority
over the condition of the data inputs and
disables the Driver. (See Driver Logic
Waveforms, Figure 1)
The Driver utilizes an active filter to suppress
harmonics above 1 MHz to meet Macair
specifications A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and
A-5690. The Driver may be safely operated for
an indefinite period at 100% duty cycle into a
data bus short circuit.

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).
