General Description
The Aeroflex Circuit Technology
model ACT4419 is a next generation
D.I. monolithic transceiver which
provides variable amplitude in full
compliance with MIL-STD-1553/1760
data bus requirements with the lowest
standby power consumption available
and one power supply operation.
The model ACT4419 performs the
front-end analog function of inputting
and outputting data through a
transformer to a MIL-STD-1553/1760
data bus.
Design of these transceivers 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.
Efficient
transmitter electrical and thermal
design provides low internal power
dissipation and heat rise at high as
well as low duty cycles.
Variable amplitude is adjusted with
factory preset 0 - 10 Vdc or 0 - 5 Vdc
control line at 1mA maximum input
current.

, isolated on the

isolation resistors, and loaded by two
70 Ohm terminations plus additional
receivers, the data bus signal
produced is 7.5Volts nominal P-P at
A-A’ (See Figure 5). When both DATA
and DATA 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 Waveform, Figure
1).
The transceiver utilizes an active
filter to suppress harmonics above
1MHz.
The Transmitter may be
safely operated at 100% duty cycle
for an indefinite period into a short
circuited 1553 bus.
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 Waveform.
Figure 2).
The pre-set internal thresholds will
detect data bus signals exceeding
1.150 Volts P-P and reject signals
less than 0.6 volts P-P when used
with a 1:2.5 turns ratio transformer.
(See Figure 5 for transformer data
and typical connection).

NOTES:
1.DATA and DATA inputs must be complementary waveforms or 50% duty cycle average, with no delays between them.
2.DATA and DATA must be in the same state during off time (both high or low).
