GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CT2578 is for use in simple Remote Terminal applications
without the need for a processor or software development.
It provides the complete protocol for a Remote Terminal,
supporting all types of message transfers including all 15 mode
codes, with comprehensive error checking. Error handling of
data is not required by the subsystem. The user interface is a 16
bit bidirectional highway with a few control lines.
The low power transceivers are capable of providing the output
voltage required by MIL-STD-1760 and are powered by a +5V
supply.
If sinusoidal (McAir) transceivers are required then the part
number becomes CT2581. This is the only difference between
CT2578 and CT2581.
A 32 word data buffer memory is used to store messages until
validation is complete. Only validated messages are transferred
to the subsystem at a rate of 500nS per word. Data to be
transmitted is transferred from the subsystem to this buffer
memory at a maximum rate of 1µS per word. This data
memory may be bypassed in the receive mode and data
transferred to the subsystem on a word by word basis as it is
being received.
The device has an optional RT wrap around capability. When
WRAPEN is active, data received at subaddress 1E (30)
remains stored in the data buffer memory (i.e. not transferred to
the subsystem). If followed by a transmit from subaddress 1E
the same data will be transmitted.
There is an option within the device to reduce the response
time in order to conform to other standards such as 1553A and
McAir. In this mode subaddress 1F is allocated a normal
subaddress with subaddress 00 reserved for mode commands.
Any message may be illegalized by applying an active low on
the NME discrete status input. The Remote Terminal will
respond with the Message Error bit set in the status and not use
the information received.
A hardware implementation of the 1760 checksum algorithm
within the device may be enabled via signal NENCHK. When
transmitting, the checksum word is inserted in the last word
position, and when receiving, a valid checksum word will
generate the open drain output (STATUS). The STATUS output
may be hard wired to any of the discrete status inputs (e.g.
Service Request), if it is also hard wired to the input
NILLCMD the device will respond to a failed checksum with
the selected status bit set and not use the data (i.e. not transfer
the data to the subsystem).
In addition to the signal NVCR (valid command word
received) which may be used to illegalize commands, a signal
NHDR (header word received) is available to the subsystem for
verification of the 1760 message header.
The RT address lines are latched on RESET as required by
1760. If all six RT address lines go open circuit the store
released signal (STREL) will go high.
The device is packaged in a 119 pin grid array or 84 lead CQFP
package.

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
1553 / 1760 DATA BUS
DATABUS 0
Signal is connected to the positive side of the
external data bus transformers for bus 0.
NDATABUS 0
Signal is connected to the negative side of the
external data bus transformers for bus 0.
DATABUS 1
Signal is connected to the positive side of the
external data bus transformers for bus 1.
NDATABUS 1
Signal is connected to the negative side of the
external data bus transformers for bus 1.
HARD WIRED
ADDR A-E
(Inputs with pull up resistor)
Remote Terminal address inputs for the unit. ADDR A is the
least significant bit and ADDR E is the most significant bit.
These inputs are internally latched every time the unit is reset.
The latched address information is then compared to the
incoming command word.
ADDR P
(Input with pull up resistor)
Parity bit for the Remote Terminal address inputs. ADDR P
must be set to ODD parity. This input is latched as above.
WRAPEN
(Input with pull down resistor)
Select Remote Terminal wrap around to subaddress 1E. The
Bus Controller sends data to subaddress 1E which remains in
the data buffer memory and is available to be sent back on the
very next command by the Bus Controller. The data in the data
buffer memory in this mode does not get transferred to the
subsystem. If the very next command is not a transmit
command to subaddress 1E, the data buffer memory is flushed
and will respond normally to the next set of commands. If the
wrap around test is enabled, data to subaddress 1E must be
transferred in the correct sequence.
"0" = Normal mode
"1" = Wrap Around mode
MCAIR
(Input with pull down resistor)
This signal sets the unit to respond with a status word within
4µS (dead bus time). Subaddress 1F is also enabled to be a
valid subaddress for data. Normally subaddress 00 and 1F are
reserved for mode codes.
"1" = 4µS dead bus response time, subaddress 1F used for
data.
"0" = 12µS response time, subaddress 1F used for mode
codes.
C16MHZ
(Input with pull up resistor)
Free running 16 MH
Z
clock input.
SUBSYSTEM INTERFACE
T0-T15
(Bidirectional IO)
16 bit bidirectional highway to transfer all information to /
from subsystem. The user can also utilize this bus to monitor
Command word and Header word (1760 requirement) for
message illegalization.
NRES
(Bidirectional IO with pull up resistor)
Bidirectional reset pin. Interface to this pin should be in the
form of an open collector pull down driver. The unit will be
reset when a low level input is asserted on power up. The pin is
bidirectional in that the unit will drive the signal out low after
the status response of the mode code Reset Remote Terminal.
Upon reset the unit will be able to respond immediately after
the rising edge of NRES.
DISCRETE RT STATUS INPUTS
The following signals are inputs to set the appropriate bits in
the Remote Terminals status word. All inputs are sampled after
NVCR except non mode code receive commands in which case
they are sampled after the last data word has been received. All
status inputs are active low.
NME
(Input with pull up resistor)
Message Error, illegalizes message. No transfers to / from the
subsystem will take place. No data will be transmitted
following the status.
NILLCMD
(Input with pull up resistor)
Input to illegalize a command to the Remote Terminal with a
clear status response. The signal is sampled after NVCR except
non mode code receive commands in which case it is sampled
after the last data word has been received. A low on this input
will illegalize the message, no transfers to / from the subsystem
will take place. The device will respond with a clear status
unless a bit has been specifically set. No data will be
transmitted following status.
NBUSY
(Input with pull up resistor)
Subsystem Busy. No data will be transferred to / from the
subsystem and no data will be transmitted following status for
non mode code transfers.
NTF
(Input with pull up resistor)
Terminal Flag.
NVCR
(Output)
Early indication that the Remote Terminal has received a
command and the command word is available on T0-T15. This
can be used for message illegalization.
NSR
(Input with pull up resistor)
Service Request.
NDATA
(Output)
Access to valid data word in real time. Data word available on
T0-T15 during active low signal.
NSSFLAG
(Input with pull up resistor)
Subsystem Flag.
1760 SIGNALS
NENCHK
(Input with pull up resistor)
Enables / disables the internal hardware checksum generation
and validation. When enabled, the circuitry will check all
incoming data for correct checksum and generate the correct
checksum word for an outgoing data transfer.
"0" = Enable checksum circuitry.
"1" = Disable checksum circuitry.
NCMDSTRB
(Output)
This signal indicates that a completely validated message has
been received for standard subaddress data activity. Mode
commands with or without data will not generate this signal.
The NCMDSTRB signal is 8.5µS long and is an indication that
a DMA burst will initiate at the end of NCMDSTRB to transfer
words between the 32 word data memory and the subsystem.
The Command word is available on T0-T15 during this period.
NDATAST
(Output)
Signal to transfer normal validated received data from the data
buffer memory to the subsystem at a rate of 500nS per word via
the T0-T15 highway.
STATUS
(Open drain output)
Open drain output will toggle high or low on each incoming
data word from the 1553 data bus provided NENCHK is
enabled. When the last data word is received the STATUS line
is sampled by the protocol circuitry to determine if the
checksum for the message is valid. At the end of the message,
if STATUS is low then the checksum is not valid. This
STATUS signal can be wired to several different pins to
customize the units response to a checksum failure. STATUS
can be wired to signals such as NILLCMD and NSR which
would cause the message to be illegalized and set Service
Request bit in the Status.
NSSTRB
(Input with pull up resistor)
Signal to transfer normal data for transmission from the
subsystem to the data buffer memory at a maximum rate of 1µS
per word via the T0-T15 highway.
C1MHZ
(Output)
Free running 1 MHZ clock to subsystem. NSSTRB must be
synchronized to this clock.
NHDR
(Output)
In MIL-STD-1760, the first data word of a message is defined
as a Header word. The NHDR signal indicates the presence of
the Header word on the T0-T15 highway as it is received. The
Header is also stored in the data buffer memory along with the
complete message.
NENVW
(Output)
Signal to transfer Vector word from subsystem to unit in
response to ‘Transmit Vector Word’ mode command via the
T0-T15 highway.
NSYNC
(Output)
Signal to subsystem indicating receipt of a synchronize mode
commands If the mode code has an associated data word, it
will be available on T0-T15 at this time. If there is no
associated data word, T0-T15 will be zero.
STREL
(Output)
When the store is released from the aircraft all the Remote
Terminal address inputs go high causing signal STREL to go
high.
