DESCRIPTION
The BU-63825(925) is a fully hardware & software compatible, direct
drop-in replacement for the BU-61582(83).
DDC’s BU-63825(925) Space Advanced Communication Engine
(Sp’ACE II) is a radiation hardened version of the BU-61580(81) ACE
terminal. DDC supplies the BU-63825 with enhanced screening for
space and other high reliability applications.
The BU-63825 provides a complete integrated BC/RT/MT interface
between a host processor and a MIL-STD-1553 bus. The
BU-63825(925) provides functional and software compatibility with
the standard BU-61580(81) product and is packaged in the same 1.9
square-inch package footprint.
As an option, DDC can supply the BU-63825 with space level screen-
ing. This entails enhancements in the areas of element evaluation
and screening procedures for active and passive elements, as well as
the manufacturing and screening processes used in producing the
terminals.
The BU-63825 integrates dual transceiver, protocol, memory man-
agement and processor interface logic, and 16K words of RAM in the
choice of 70-pin DIP or flat pack packages. Transceiverless versions
may be used with an external electrical or fiber optic transceiver.
To minimize board space and ‘glue’ logic, the Sp’ACE II terminals
provide flexibility in interfacing to a host processor and internal/exter-
nal RAM.

INTRODUCTION
DDC’s Sp’ACE II series of integrated BC/RT/MT hybrids provide
a complete, flexible interface between a microprocessor and a
MIL-STD-1553A, B Notice 2, McAir, or STANAG 3838 bus,
implementing Bus Controller, Remote Terminal (RT) and Monitor
Terminal (MT) modes. Packaged in a single 1.9 square inch
70-pin DIP, surface mountable Flat Pack or Gull Lead, the
Sp’ACE II series contains dual low-power transceivers and
encoder/decoders, complete BC/RT/MT multiprotocol logic,
memory management and interrupt logic, 16K X 16 of shared
static RAM and a direct, buffered interface to a host processor
bus.
The BU-63825 contains internal address latches and bidirec-
tional data buffers to provide a direct interface to a host proces-
sor bus. The BU-63825 may be interfaced directly to both 16-bit
and 8-bit microprocessors (Please see Appendix G in the ACE
User’s Guide for Product Advisory regarding SP’ACE and
SP’ACE II operating in 8-bit Buffered Non-Zero Wait Mode) in a
buffered shared RAM configuration. In addition, the Sp’ACE II
may connect to a 16-bit processor bus via a Direct Memory
Access (DMA) interface. The BU-63825 includes 16K words of
buffered RAM. Alternatively, the Sp’ACE II may be interfaced to
as much as 64k words of external RAM in either the shared RAM
or DMA configurations.
The Sp’ACE II RT mode is multiprotocol, supporting MIL-STD-
1553A, MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2, and STANAG 3838 (including
EFAbus).
The memory management scheme for RT mode provides an
option for separation of broadcast data, in compliance with
1553B Notice 2. Both double buffer and circular buffer options
are programmable by subaddress. These features serve to
ensure data consistency and to off-load the host processor for
bulk data transfer applications.
The Sp’ACE II series implements three monitor modes: a word
monitor, a selective message monitor, and a combined RT/selec-
tive monitor.
Other features include options for automatic retries and program-
mable intermessage gap for BC mode, an internal Time Tag

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
TRANSCEIVERS
For the +5 V and -15 V/-12 V front end, the BU-63825X1(X2)
uses low-power bipolar analog monolithic and thin-film hybrid
technology. The transceiver requires +5 V and -15 V (-12 V) only
(requiring no +15 V/+12 V) and includes voltage source transmit-
ters. The BU-63825X3(X6) utilizes low-power BiCMOS analog
monolithic and thin film hybrid technology as well but requires
+5V only. The voltage source transmitters provide superior line
driving capability for long cables and heavy amounts of bus load-
ing.
The receiver sections of the BU-63825 are fully compliant
with MIL-STD-1553B in terms of front end overvoltage pro-
tection, threshold, common mode rejection, and word error
rate. In addition, the receiver filters have been designed for
optimal operation with the M-Rad chip’s Manchester II decod-
ers.
M-RAD DIGITAL MONOLITHIC
The M-Rad digital monolithic represents the cornerstone ele-
ment of the BU-63825 Sp’ACE II family of terminals. The M-Rad
chip is actually a radiation hardened version of DDC’s M’
(M-prime) monolithic which is the key building block behind
DDC’s non-radiation hardened BU-61580 ACE series of termi-
nals. As such, the M-Rad possesses all the enhanced hardware
and software features which have made the BU-61580 ACE the
industry standard 1553 interface component.
The M-Rad chip consists of a dual encoder/decoder; complete
protocol for Bus Controller (BC), 1553A/B/McAir Remote Terminal
(RT), and Monitor (MT) modes; memory management and inter-
rupt logic; a flexible, buffered interface to a host processor bus
and optional external RAM. Reference the region within the dot-
ted line of FIGURE 1. Besides realizing all the protocol, memory
management, and interface functions of the earlier AIM-HY
series, the M-Rad chip includes a large number of enhance-
ments to facilitate hardware and software design, and to further
off-load the 1553 terminal’s host processor.
DECODERS
The default mode of operation for the BU-63825 BC/RT/MT
requires a 16 MHz clock input. If needed, a software program-
mable option allows the device to be operated from a 12 MHz
clock input. Most current 1553 decoders sample using a 10 MHz
or 12 MHz clock. In the 16 MHz mode (or 12 MHz), the decoders
sample using both clock edges; this provides a sampling rate of
32 MHz or 24 MHz. The faster sampling rate for the M-Rad’s
Manchester II decoders provides superior performance in terms
of bit error rate and zero-crossing distortion tolerance.
For interfacing to fiber optic transceivers for MIL-STD-1773
applications, a transceiverless version of the Sp’ACE II can be
used. These versions provide a register programmable option for
a direct interface to the single-ended outputs of a fiber optic
receiver. No external logic is needed.
TIME TAGGING
The Sp’ACE II includes an internal read/writable Time Tag
Register. This register is a CPU read/writable 16-bit counter with
a programmable resolution of either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 µs per
LSB. Also, the Time Tag Register may be clocked from an exter-
nal oscillator. Another option allows software controlled incre-
menting of the Time Tag Register. This supports self-test for the
Time Tag Register. For each message processed, the value of
the Time Tag register is loaded into the second location of the
respective descriptor stack entry (“TIME TAG WORD”) for both
BC and RT modes.
Additional provided options will: clear the Time Tag Register fol-
lowing a Synchronize (without data) mode command or load the
Time Tag Register following a Synchronize (with data) mode
command; enable an interrupt request and a bit setting in the
Interrupt Status Register when the Time Tag Register rolls over
from FFFF to 0000. Assuming the Time Tag Register is not
loaded or reset, this will occur at approximately 4 second time
intervals, for 64 µs/LSB resolution, down to 131 ms intervals,
for 2 µs/LSB resolution.
Another programmable option for RT mode is the automatic clear-
ing of the Service Request Status Word bit following the
BU-63825’s response to a Transmit Vector Word mode command.
INTERRUPTS
The Sp’ACE II series components provide many programmable
options for interrupt generation and handling. The interrupt out-
put pin INT has three software programmable modes of opera-
tion: a pulse, a level output cleared under software control, or a
level output automatically cleared following a read of the Interrupt
Status Register. Individual interrupts are enabled by the Interrupt
Mask Register. The host processor may easily determine the
cause of the interrupt by using the Interrupt Status Register. The
Interrupt Status Register provides the current state of the inter-
rupt conditions. The Interrupt Status Register may be updated in
two ways. In the standard interrupt handling mode, a particular
bit in the Interrupt Status Register will be updated only if the
condition exists and the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask
Register is enabled. In the enhanced interrupt handling mode, a
particular bit in the Interrupt Status Register will be updated if
the condition exists regardless of the contents of the corre-
sponding Interrupt Mask Register bit. In any case, the respective
Interrupt Mask Register bit enables an interrupt for a particular
condition.
