General Description
The CT1815 is a single hybrid micro-circuit which incorporates a serial encoder, transceiver, and Manchester decoder
in one package. The encoder accepts serial NRZ data in conjunction with two synchronous clocks. This data stream is
then Manchester encoded and maybe transformer coupled thru an external transformer to a 75 ohm tri-axial cable for
transmission through up to 1000 feet of cable. The CT1815 receiver section accepts bipolar Manchester encoded
signals and passes level detected signals to the serial decoder. The serial decoder reconstructs an NRZ data stream
with derived clock. This allows the data to be processed by our CT2500 monolithic protocol chip for MIL-STD-1397 serial
interfaces. All the input and output signals of the CT1815 are completely compatible with the CT2500. The CT1815 has
a power management function. A transmitter standby mode is available to reduce the overall power consumption of the
CT1815. Aeroflex Circuit Technology is an 80,000ft

Transmission
The CT1815 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 75 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 transceiver is matched for 75 ohm operation
over a wide band of frequencies. This condition is
maintained with power on and off.
Reception
The CT1815 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
Encoder Timing / Transmitter Specification
synchronously with a recovered clock. The receiver
is designed to meet the MIL-STD-1397 Type D
requirements.
Electrical Requirements
The specification detailed herein encompasses a
hybrid Transceiver/Encoder-Decoder designed to
meet the requirements of the MIL-STD-1397 Type D.
The transceiver is transformer coupled to the
specified triaxial cable and is screened to the
individual test methods of MIL-STD-883
See Figure 1 for Block Diagram. Inputs and
Outputs are all Synchronous NRZ DATA STREAMS
Transformer Isolation
The CT1815 is connected with pin 3 and pin 32 to
the ACT15-1031 transformer secondary winding.
The center tap of the secondary winding is
connected to +5 volts. For matching 75Ω load
operation, a 78Ω resistor must be placed across the
primary winding of the transformer.
