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
Aeroflex Circuit TechnologySCD4404 REV D 10/27/99 Plainview NY (516) 694-6700
1:1 transformer, isolated on the data
devices, the receiver outputs are swapped as shown by the dashed lines
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
Figure5.) When both DATA and
inputs are held low or high, the
DATA
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.)
Figure 1 - Transmitter Logic Waveforms
DATA IN
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.
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 1.05 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 Ohm
pull-up to +5 Volts is
recommended.
