General Description
The Aeroflex Circuit Technology
model ACT4419 is a next generation
D.I. monolithic transceiver which
provides variable amplitude in full
compliance with MIL-STD-1553/1760
data bus requirements with the lowest
standby power consumption available
and one power supply operation.
The model ACT4419 performs the
front-end analog function of inputting
and outputting data through
transformer to a MIL-STD-1553/1760
data bus.
a
• Either 5V or 10V DC control line (Factory Set)
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.
Efficient
transmitter electrical and thermal
design provides low internal power
dissipation and heat rise at high as
well as low duty cycles.
Variable amplitude is adjusted with
factory preset 0 - 10 Vdc or 0 - 5 Vdc
control line at 1mA maximum input
current.

Transmitter
The Transmitter section accepts
bi-phase TTL data at the input and
when coupled to the data bus with a
primary grounded center tap
1:2.5 transformer, isolated on the
data 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 7.5Volts nominal P-P at
A-A’ (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
