The Aeroflex Circuit Technology
ACT4418D is a new generation
monolithic transceivers which provide
full compliance with Macair and MILSTD-1553 data bus requirements
while providing variable amplitude
control.
The ACT4418D performs the frontend analog function of inputting and
outputting data through a transformer
to a MIL-STD-1553 or Macair data
bus. The ACT4418D 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 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 ACT4418D
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.
Variable amplitude is adjusted with
0–10 Vdc on the control pin.

Transmitter:
The Transmitter section accepts biphase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus with a
1:1 transformer, isolated on the data
bus side with two 52.5 Ohm fault isolation resistors, and loaded by two 70
eroflex Circuit Technology – Data Bus Modules For The Future © SCD4418D REV A 9/24/97
Ohm terminations plus additional
receivers, the data bus signal produced is 7.5 volts typical P -P at AA’. (See Figure 5.) 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
1 MHz to meet Macair specifications
A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and A5690. The transmitter may be safely
operated for an indefinite period at
100% duty cycle into a data bus
short circuit.
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).
Receiver:
The Receiver section accepts biphase differential data at the input
and produces two TTL signals at the
output. The outputs are DATA and
DATA, and represent positive and
negative excursions of the input
beyond a pre-determined threshold.
(See Receiver Logic Waveforms,
Figure 2.)
The internal threshold is nominally
A low level at the Strobe input
inhibits the DATA and DATA outputs. If unused, a 2K pull-up to +5
Volts is recommended

NOTES:
1. Line to line waveforms illustrate Macair signals, MIL-STD-1553 signals are trapezoidal
2. DATA and DATA inputs must be complementary waveforms or 50% duty cycle average, with no delays between them.
3. DATA and DATA must be in the same state during off time (both high or low).
