General Description
The Aeroflex Laboratories transceiver models ARX 4418 and ARX 4417 are new generation monolithic transceivers which provide full compliance with Macair and MIL-STD-1553 data 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.
