CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY
General Description
The
Aeroflex
Laboratories
transceiver models ARX4404 and
ARX4407 are new generation
monolithic transceivers which provide
full compliance with Macair and
MIL-STD-1553
data
bus
requirements
The model ARX4404 and model
ARX4407 perform the front-end
analog function of inputting and
outputting data through a transformer
to a MIL-STD-1553 or Macair data
bus.
The
ARX4404
can
be
considered a "Universal" Transceiver
in that it is compatible with
MIL-STD-1553A, B, Macair A-3818,
A-4905, A-5232 and A-5690. The
ARX4407
is
compatible
with
MIL-STD-1553A and B.
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. The ARX4404
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 transmitter electrical and
thermal design provides low internal
power dissipation and heat rise at
high and well as low duty cycles.
An optional receiver input threshold
adjustment can be accomplished by
the use of the "Set Internal
Threshold" terminals.

Transmitter:
The Transmitter section accepts
bi-phase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus with a
Block Diagram (without Transformer)
EROFLEX CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY - Data Bus Modules for the Future ©SCD4404 REV B 3/11/98
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 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 Waveforms,
Figure 1.)
The transmitter utilizes an active
filter to suppress harmonics above
1 MHz to meet Macair specifications
A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and
A-5690. The transmitter may be
safely operated for an indefinite
period at 100% duty cycle into a
data bus short circuit.
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 Waveforms,
Figure 2.)
The internal threshold is nominally
set to detect data bus signals
exceeding 1.05 Volts P-P and
reject signals less than 0.6 volts
P-P when used with a 1:1 turns
ratio transformer. (See Figure 5
for transformer data and typical
connection.) This threshold setting
can be held by grounding the
appropriate pins or modified with
the use of external resistors.
A low level at the Strobe input
inhibits the DATA and DATA
outputs. If unused, a 2K pull-up to
+5 Volts is recommended.

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).
