GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex Plainview model ACT4419D is a monolithic transceiver which provides variable amplitude in full
compliance with MIL-STD-1553 data bus requirements with low standby power consumption and one power supply
operation.
The dual channel model ACT4419D performs the front-end analog function of inputting and outputting data through a
transformer to a MIL-STD-1553 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 – 5 Vdc control line at 1 mA maximum input current at 5 Volts.
TRANSMITTER
The Transmitter section accepts bi-phase TTL data at the input and when coupled to the data bus with a primary grounded
center tap 1:2.5 transformer the data bus signal produced is 7.1 Volts nominal P-P at A-A’ (See Figure 5). When both
DATA and DATA inputs are held low, 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 transformer data and typical connection, Figure 5).
A low level at the Strobe input inhibits the DATA and DATA outputs.

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 low).
