Standard Products ACT4808N Dual Transceivers for MACAIR (A3818, A4905, A5232, A5690) and MIL-STD-1553A/B www.aeroflex.com/Avionics May 25, 2005 FEATURES ❑ ACT4808N Dual Transceiver meets MIL-STD-1553A & B, Macair A3818, A5690, A5232 and A4905 specs ❑ New Low Power Model ❑ Operates with ±12V to ±15V & +5V Power Supplies ❑ Voltage source output ❑ Plug-in or Flat Package ❑ Monolithic construction ❑ Designed for commercial, industrial and aerospace applications ❑ MIL-PRF-38534 compliant devices available ❑ Aeroflex-Plainview is a Class H & K MIL-PRF-38534 manufacturer GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Aeroflex-Plainview ACT4808N is a monolithic transceiver design which provides full compliance with Macair (A-3818, A-4905, A-5232 and A-5690) and MIL-STD-1553A/B data bus requirements and can be considered a "Universal" Transceiver. The dual channel transceiver performs the front-end analog function of inputting and outputting data through a transformer to the MIL-STD-1553 or Macair 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 ACT4808N series active transmit 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 dissipatio...
