Data Bus Modules For The Future SCD4489 REV A 1/29/98
General Description
The Aeroflex Circuit
Technology ACT 4489 is a next
generation monolithic transceiver
design which provides full
compliance to MIL-STD-1553A/B
and 1760 requirements in a small
package with low power
consumption.
The ACT 4489 series performs
the front-end analog function of
inputting and outputting data
through a transformer to the
MIL-STD-1553 data bus.
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. Efficient
transmitter electrical and thermal
design provides low internal power
dissipation and heat rise at high as
well as low duty cycles.
Transmitter:
The Transmitter section accepts
bi-phase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus with a
1:1 ratio transformer, isolated on
the data bus side with two 52.5
Ohm fault isolation resistors, and
loaded by two 70 Ohm
terminations, the data bus signal is
typically 7 Volts P-P at point 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"
signal applied to the "INHIBIT" takes
priority over the condition of the
data inputs and disables the
transmitter (See Transmitter Logic
Waveform, Figure 1). The
Transmitter may be safely operated
for an indefinite period with the bus
(point A) short circuited at 100%
duty cycle.
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, point A
Figure 5, exceeding 1.20 Volts P-P
and reject signals less than 0.6
Volts P-P when used with a
transformer (See Figure 5 for
transformer data and typical
connection).
A low level at the RX Strobe
input inhibits the DATA and
DATA outputs. If unused, a 2K
pull-up to +5 Volts is
recommended.

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