• World’s smallest and lowest standby power dual
variable amplitude H009 transceiver 1.25" x 0.61"
maximum ceramic package
General Description
The
Technology model ACT4469D is a
next generation monolithic
Aeroflex
Circuit
• Dual transceiver with variable output amplitude
control meets McDonnell Douglas H009 data bus
specifications
transceiver which provides variable
amplitude in compliance with H009
data bus requirements with the
lowest standby power consumption
available using three DC power
supplies operation.
The dual channel model
ACT4469D performs the front-end
analog function of inputting and
• Lowest standby power
• Low power dissipation at full output power
• Operates with 12V to 15 and +5V power supplies
• Voltage source output for transmitter
• Monolithic construction
outputting
data
through
a
• Processed to commercial or screened to
transformer to a H009 data bus.
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 ACT4469D series active filter
design provides the required H009
low harmonic distortion waveform
without increasing the pulse delay
characteristics significantly.
MIL-STD-883 specs
• +10V Control line for transmitter amplitude
adjustment (See Figure 3)
• Packaging – Hermetic Ceramic

Small size & light weight
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.
