General Description:
The Aeroflex Laboratories transceiver
model ACT4808 is a new generation
Dual monolithic transceiver which
provides full compliance with Macair
and MIL-STD-1553 data bus
requirements
The model ACT4808 performs the
front-end analog function of inputting
and outputting data through a
transformer to a MIL-STD-1553 or
Macair data bus. The ACT4808 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.
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. The ACT4808
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.The
receiver input threshold is set
Internally.
Transmitter
The Transmitter section accepts
bi-phase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus as per
Figure 3 or 4 and by two 70 Ohm
terminations (Z

A-A’. 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
1MHz 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 (Pt. A-A’).
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
, and represent positive and
DATA
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 1.10 Volts P-P and reject
signals less than 0.6 Volts P-P
when used with a 1:1 turns ratio
transformer. (See Figure 4 for
transformer data and typical
connection.)
A low level at the Strobe input
inhibits the DATA and DATA
outputs.
