General Description
CT1698 is a single hybrid microcircuit which incorporates a serial encoder, transceiver, and Manchester decoder in one package.
The encoder accepts serial NRZ data in conjunction with two synchronous clocks. The CT1698 receiver section accepts bipolar
Manchester encoded signals and passes level detected signals to the serial decoder. The CT1698 has a power management function
and a variable drive level option. The transmitter standby mode is available to reduce the overall power consumption of the CT1698.
The variable drive level output is externally programmable for testing purposes. Aeroflex Circuit Technology is a 80,000 square foot
MIL-PRF-38534 certified facility in Plainview, N.Y.
The CT1698 accepts synchronous NRZ Data in
conjunction with two clocks signals. The NRZ data
stream is then converted to Manchester code which
is transformer coupled to a 50 ohm Tri-axial cable for
transmission up to 1000 ft.
The transmitter may be placed into standby
condition. This reduces power consumption by
approximately 600mW. Power management is made
available via two standard TTL input pins. The
Receiver is always active and is not affected by the
power management circuitry.
The drive level of the transmitter may be changed
by adding external resistors to the drive pins. These
pins allow the designer to externally program the
transmitter output level from 0.7 to 2.8 Volts peak to
peak.
The transceiver is matched for 50 ohm operation
over a wide band of frequencies. This condition is
maintained with power on and off.
Encoding Timing / Transmitter Specification
The CT1698 receiver section accepts a bipolar
signal which is level detected and passed to the
serial decoder. The decoder section reconstructs
the data and strips the clock from the serial stream.
An NRZ decoded data stream is then produced
synchronously with a recovered clock. The receiver
is designed to meet the MIL-STD-1397 Type E
requirements.
Electrical Requirements
The specification detailed herein encompasses a
hybrid Transceiver/Encoder-Decoder designed to
meet the requirements of the MIL-STD-1397 Type E.
The transceiver is transformer coupled to the
specified triaxial cable.
See Figure 1 for Block Diagram. Inputs and
Outputs are all Synchronous NRZ DATA STREAMS.
The transformer is internal to the package with its
use being optional.
