Abstract:
An integrated circuit has been designed for use as a single supply, MIL- STD-1553 transceiver using BiCMOS technology. Use of the BiCMOS fabrication process has advantages over both bipolar and CMOS technologies. These advantages include: reduced standby current drain, increased flexibility in mating the transceiver to various remote terminals, increased control over output amplitude and rise/fall times, easier methods for adjusting filter response and residual voltage, and reduced chip size (over a CMOS transceiver).

Development of this monolithic transceiver opens the door to future advances in remote terminal design. By combining the current driving capacity of bipolar with the digital design capability of CMOS, the next probable step in the progression of MIL-STD-1553 technology would be a fully monolithic remote terminal. This device would combine a transceiver with the encoder/decoder and protocol logic on a single semiconductor device.
