CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY
General Description
The
Aeroflex
Circuit
Technology ACT 4487 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 4487 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.
Each channel of the dual
transceiver is completely separate
from
the
other
and
fully
independent. This includes power
leads as well as signal lines.
Hence, each channel may be
connected to a different data bus
with no interaction.

Transmitter:
The Transmitter section accepts
bi-phase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus with a
1.4:1 ratio transformer, isolated on
the data bus side with two 52.5
Ohm fault isolation resistors, and
loaded
by
two

terminations, the data bus signal is
typically 7.5 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).
