DescriptionThe Aeroflex Laboratories transceiver models ARX 4418 and ARX 4417 are new generation monolithic transceivers which provide full compliance with Macair and MIL-STD-1553data bus requirements while providing variable amplitude control.
The model ARX 4418 and model ARX 4417 perform the front-end analog function of inputting and outputting data through a transformer to a MIL-STD-1553 or Macair data bus. The ARX 4418 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. The ARX 4417 is compatible with MIL-STD-1553A/B.
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 ARX4418 series active filter design has additional high frequency roll-off to provide the required Macair low harmonic distortion waveform without increasing the pulsedelay characteris-tics 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 010 Vdc on the control pin. An optional receiver input threshold adjustment can be accomplished by the use of the "Set Internal Threshold" terminals.
