Notes 1 through 6 are applicable to the Receiver Differential  
Resistance and Differential Capacitance specifications:  
• 25% Transmitter Duty Cycle  
• 50% Transmitter Duty Cycle  
• 100% Transmitter Duty Cycle  
(1) Specifications include both transmitter and receiver (tied together  
internally).  
(2) Impedance parameters are specified directly between pins TX/RX  
TX/RX A(B)  
A(B) and  
of the Enhanced Mini-ACE hybrid.  
(3) It is assumed that all power and ground inputs to the hybrid are  
connected.  
(4) The specifications are applicable for both unpowered and powered  
conditions.

INTRODUCTION  
(5) The specifications assume a 2 volt rms balanced, differential, sinu-  
soidal input. The applicable frequency range is 75 kHz to 1 MHz.  
The BU-61743/61745 RT, and BU-61843/61845/61864/61865  
BC/RT/MT Enhanced Mini-ACE family of MIL-STD-1553 termi-  
nals comprise a complete integrated interface between a host  
processor and a MIL-STD-1553 bus. All members of the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE family are packaged in the same 1.0 square  
inch flatpack package. The Enhanced Mini-ACE hybrids are  
nearly 100% footprint and software compatible with the previous  
generation Mini-ACE and Mini-ACE Plus terminals, and are soft-  
ware compatibility with the original ACE series.  
(6) Minimum resistance and maximum capacitance parameters are  
guaranteed over the operating range, but are not tested.  
(7) Assumes a common mode voltage within the frequency range of dc  
to 2 MHz, applied to pins of the isolation transformer on the stub  
side (either direct or transformer coupled), and referenced to hybrid  
ground. Transformer must be a DDC recommended transformer or  
other transformer that provides an equivalent minimum CMRR.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE provides complete multiprotocol sup-  
port of MIL-STD-1553A/B/McAir and STANAG 3838. All versions  
integrate dual transceiver; along with protocol, host interface,  
memory management logic; and a minimum of 4K words of  
RAM. In addition, the BU-61864 and BU-61865 BC/RT/MT ter-  
minals include 64K words of internal RAM, with built-in parity  
checking.  
(8) Typical value for minimum intermessage gap time. Under software  
control, this may be lengthened to 65,535 ms - message time, in  
increments of 1 µs. If ENHANCED CPU ACCESS, bit 14 of  
Configuration Register #6, is set to logic "1", then host accesses  
during BC Start-of-Message (SOM) and End-of-Message (EOM)  
transfer sequences could have the effect of lengthening the inter-  
message gap time. For each host access during an SOM or EOM  
sequence, the intermessage gap time will be lengthened by 6 clock  
cycles. Since there are 7 internal transfers during SOM, and 5 dur-  
ing EOM, this could theoretically lengthen the intermessage gap by  
up to 72 clock cycles; i.e., up to 7.2 ms with a 10 MHz clock, 6.0 µs  
with a 12 MHz clock, 4.5 µs with a 16 MHz clock, or 3.6 µs with a  
20 MHz clock.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACEs include a 5V, voltage source trans-  
ceiver for improved line driving capability, with options for MIL-  
STD-1760 and McAir compatibility. As a means of reducing  
power consumption, there are versions for which the logic is  
powered by 3.3V, rather than 5V. To provide further flexibility, the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE may operate with a choice of 10, 12, 16, or  
20 MHz clock inputs.  
(9) For Enhanced BC mode, the typical value for intermessage gap  
time is approximately 10 clock cycles longer than for the non-  
enhanced BC mode. That is, an addition of 1.0 µs at 10 MHz, 833  
ns at 12 MHz, 625 ns at 16 MHz, or 500 ns at 20 MHz.  
One of the new salient features of the Enhanced Mini-ACE is its  
Enhanced bus controller architecture. The Enhanced BC's high-  
ly autonomous message sequence control engine provides a  
means for offloading the host processor for implementing multi-  
frame message scheduling, message retry schemes, data dou-  
ble buffering, and asynchronous message insertion. For the pur-  
pose of performing messaging to the host processor, the  
Enhanced BC mode includes a General Purpose Queue, along  
with user-defined interrupts.  
(10) Software programmable (4 options). Includes RT-to-RT Timeout  
(measured mid-parity of transmit Command Word to mid-sync of  
transmitting RT Status Word).  
(11) Measured from mid-parity crossing of Command Word to mid-sync  
crossing of RT's Status Word.  
A second major new feature of the Enhanced Mini-ACE is the  
incorporation of a fully autonomous built-in self-test. This test  
provides comprehensive testing of the internal protocol logic. A  
separate test verifies the operation of the internal RAM. Since  
the self-tests are fully autonomous, they eliminate the need for  
the host to write and read stimulus and response vectors.  
(12) External 10 µF Tantalum and 0.1 µF capacitors should be located  
as close as possible to Pins 20 and 72, and a 0.1 µF at pin 37. For  
BU-61864 and BU-61865, there should also be a 0.1 µF at pin 26.  
(13) MIL-STD-1760 requires a 20 Vp-p minimum output on the stub con-  
nection.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT offers the same choices of single,  
double, and circular buffering for individual subaddresses as  
ACE and Mini-ACE (Plus). New enhancements to the RT archi-  
tecture include a global circular buffering option for multiple (or  
all) receive subaddresses, a 50% rollover interrupt for circular  
buffers, an interrupt status queue for logging up to 32 interrupt  
events, and an option to automatically initialize to RT mode with  
the Busy bit set. The interrupt status queue and 50% rollover  
interrupt features are also included as improvements to the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE's Monitor architecture.  
(14) Power dissipation specifications assume a transformer coupled  
configuration with external dissipation (while transmitting) of:  
0.14 watts for the active isolation transformer,  
0.80 watts for the active bus coupling transformer,  
0.45 watts for each of the two bus isolation resistors and  
0.15 watts for each of the two bus termination resistors.  
To minimize board space and "glue" logic, the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE terminals provide the same wide choice of host interface  
configurations as the ACE and Mini-ACE (Plus). This includes  
support of interfaces to 16-bit or 8-bit processors, memory or  
4
port type interfaces, and multiplexed or non-multiplexed  
address/data buses. In addition, with respect to ACE/Mini-ACE  
(Plus), the worst case processor wait time has been significant-  
ly reduced. For example, assuming a 16 MHz clock, this time has  
been reduced from 2.8 µs to 632 ns for read accesses, and to  
570 ns for write accesses.

fully monolithic, requiring only a +5 volt power input. The trans-  
mitters are voltage sources, which provide improved line driving  
capability over current sources. This serves to improve perfor-  
mance on long buses with many taps. The transmitters also offer  
an option which satisfies the MIL-STD-1760 requirement for a  
minimum of 20 volts peak-to-peak, transformer coupled output.

Time Tag Register (RD/WR)  
Interrupt Status Register #1 (RD)  
Besides eliminating the demand for an additional power supply,  
the use of a +5V-only transceiver requires the use of a step-up,  
rather than a step-down, isolation transformer. This provides the  
advantage of a higher terminal input impedance than is possible  
for a 15 volt or 12 volt transmitter. As a result, there is a greater  
margin for the input impedance test, mandated for the 1553 val-  
idation test. This characteristic allows for longer cable lengths  
between a system connector and the isolation transformers of an  
embedded 1553 terminal.

Additionally, for MIL-STD-1760 applications, the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE provides an option for a minimum stub voltage level of 20  
volts peak-to-peak, transformer coupled.

The receiver sections of the Enhanced Mini-ACE are fully com-  
pliant with MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2 in terms of front end over-  
voltage protection, threshold, common mode rejection, and word

REGISTER AND MEMORY ADDRESSING  
Test Mode Register 7  
The software interface of the Enhanced Mini-ACE to the host  
processor consists of 24 internal operational registers for normal  
operation, an additional 24 test registers, plus 64K words of  
shared memory address space. The Enhanced Mini-ACE's 4K X  
16 or 64K X 17 internal RAM resides in this address space.

For normal operation, the host processor only needs to access  
the lower 32 register address locations (00-1F). The next 32  
locations (20-3F) should be reserved, since many of these are  
used for factory test.

timer may be also be used for the BC message sequence con-  
trol processor's Delay (DLY) instruction, or for minor or major  
frame control. The resolution of this register is 1 µs/LSB.  
BC FrameTime/ RT Last Command /MTTriggerWord Register.  
In BC mode, this register is used to program the BC frame time,  
for use in the frame auto-repeat mode. The resolution of this reg-  
ister is 100 µs/LS, with a range up to 6.55 seconds. In RT mode,  
this register stores the current (or most previous) 1553  
Command Word processed by the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT. In  
the Word Monitor mode, this register is used to specify a 16-bit  
Trigger (Command) Word. The Trigger Word may be used to  
start or stop the monitor, or to generate interrupts.  
Time Tag Register maintains the value of a real-time clock. The  
resolution of this register is programmable from among 2, 4, 8,  
16, 32, and 64 µs/LSB. The Start-of-Message (SOM) and End-  
of-Message (EOM) sequences in BC, RT, and Message Monitor  
modes cause a write of the current value of the Time Tag  
Register to the stack area of the RAM.  
BC Initial Instruction List Pointer Register enables the host to  
Interrupt Status Register #1 and #2 allow the host processor  
to determine the cause of an interrupt request by means of one  
or two read accesses. The interrupt events of the two Interrupt  
Status Registers are mapped to correspond to the respective bit  
positions in the two Interrupt Mask Registers. Interrupt Status  
Register #2 contains an INTERRUPT CHAIN bit, used to indi-  
cate an interrupt event from Interrupt Status Register #1.  
assign the starting address for the enhanced BC Instruction List.  
RT Status Word Register and BIT Word Registers provide  
read-only indications of the RT Status and BIT Words.  
Test Mode Registers 0-7. These registers are included for fac-  
tory test. In normal operation, these registers do not need to be  
accessed by the host processor.  
Configuration Registers #3, #4, and #5 are used to enable  
many of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's advanced features that were  
implemented by the prior generation products, the ACE and  
Mini-ACE (Plus). For BC, RT, and MT modes, use of the  
ENHANCED MODE enables the various read-only bits in  
Configuration Register #1. For BC mode, ENHANCED mode  
features include the expanded BC Control Word and BC Block  
Status Word, additional Stop-On-Error and Stop-On-Status Set  
functions, frame auto-repeat, programmable intermessage gap  
times, automatic retires, expanded Status Word Masking, and  
the capability to generate interrupts following the completion of  
any selected message. For RT mode, the enhanced mode fea-  
tures include the expanded RT Block Status Word, combined  
RT/Selective Message Monitor mode, automatic setting of the  
TERMINAL FLAG Status Word bit following a loop test failure;  
the double buffering scheme for individual receive (broadcast)  
subaddresses, and the alternate (fully software programmable)  
RT Status Word. For MT mode, use of the enhanced mode  
enables the Selective Message Monitor, the combined  
RT/Selective Monitor modes, and the monitor triggering capabil-  
ity.  
Configuration Registers #6 and #7 are used to enable the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE features that extend beyond the architec-  
ture of the ACE/Mini-ACE (Plus). These include the Enhanced  
BC mode; RT Global Circular Buffer (including buffer size); the  
RT/MT Interrupt Status Queue, including valid/invalid message  
filtering; enabling a software-assigned RT address; clock fre-  
quency selection; a base address for the "non-data" portion of  
Enhanced Mini-ACE memory; LSB filtering for the Synchronize  
(with data) time tag operations; and enabling a watchdog timer  
for the Enhanced BC message sequence control engine.  
BC Condition Code Register is used to enable the host proces-  
sor to read the current value of the Enhanced BC Message  
Sequence Control Engine's condition flags.  
BC General Purpose Flag Register allows the host processor  
to be able to set, clear, or toggle any of the Enhanced BC  
Message Sequence Control Engine's General Purpose condition  
flags.  
BIT Test Status Register is used to provide read-only access to  
RT/Monitor Data Stack Address Register provides a

the status of the protocol and RAM built-in self-tests (BIT).  
BC General Purpose Queue Pointer provides a means for ini-  
tializing the pointer for the General Purpose Queue, for the  
Enhanced BC mode. In addition, this register enables the host to  
determine the current location of the General Purpose Queue  
pointer, which is incremented internally by the Enhanced BC  
message sequence control engine.  
BC Frame Time Remaining Register provides a read-only  
indication of the time remaining in the current BC frame. In the  
enhanced BC mode, this timer may be used for minor or major  
frame control, or as a watchdog timer for the BC message  
sequence control processor. The resolution of this register is  
100 µs/LSB.  
RT/MT Interrupt Status Queue Pointer Register provides a  
means for initializing the pointer for the Interrupt Status Queue,  
for RT, MT, and RT/MT modes. In addition, this register enables  
the host to determine the current location of the Interrupt Status  
Queue pointer, which is incremented by the RT/MT message  
BC Time Remaining to Next Message Register provides a  
read-only indication of the time remaining before the start of the  
next message in a BC frame. In the enhanced BC mode, this

RT-to-RT transfer errors. The Enhanced Mini-ACE BC response  
timeout value is programmable with choices of 18, 22, 50, and  
130 µs. The longer response timeout values allow for operation  
over long buses and/or the use of repeaters.  
The BC functionality for the Enhanced Mini-ACE includes two  
separate architectures: (1) the older, non-Enhanced mode,  
which provides complete compatibility with the previous ACE  
and Mini-ACE (Plus) generation products; and (2) the newer,  
Enhanced BC mode.The Enhanced BC mode offers several new  
powerful architectural features. These includes the incorporation  
of a highly autonomous BC message sequence control engine,  
which greatly serves to offload the operation of the host CPU.  
In its non-Enhanced mode, the Enhanced Mini-ACE may be pro-  
grammed to process BC frames of up to 512 messages with no  
processor intervention. In the Enhanced BC mode, there is no  
explicit limit to the number of messages that may be processed  
in a frame. In both modes, it is possible to program for either sin-  
gle frame or frame auto-repeat operation. In the auto-repeat  
mode, the frame repetition rate may be controlled either inter-  
nally, using a programmable BC frame timer, or from an external  
trigger input.  
The Enhanced BC's message sequence control engine provides  
a high degree of flexibility for implementing major and minor  
frame scheduling; capabilities for inserting asynchronous mes-  
sages in the middle of a frame; to separate 1553 message data  
from control/status data for the purpose of implementing double  
buffering and performing bulk data transfers; for implementing  
message retry schemes, including the capability for automatic  
bus channel switchover for failed messages; and for reporting  
various conditions to the host processor by means of 4 user-  
defined interrupts and a general purpose queue.  
ENHANCED BC MODE: MESSAGE SEQUENCE CONTROL  
One of the major new architectural features of the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE series is its advanced capability for BC message  
sequence control. The Enhanced Mini-ACE supports highly  
autonomous BC operation, which greatly offloads the operation  
of the host processor.  
In both the non-Enhanced and Enhanced BC modes, the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE BC implements all MIL-STD-1553B mes-  
sage formats. Message format is programmable on a message-  
The operation of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's message sequence  
control engine is illustrated in FIGURE 2. The BC message  
sequence control involves an instruction list pointer register; an  
instruction list which contains multiple 2-word entries; a message  
control/status stack, which contains multiple 8-word or 10-word  
descriptors; and data blocks for individual messages.  
T/R  
by-message basis by means the BC Control Word and the  
bit of the Command Word for the respective message. The BC  
Control Word allows 1553 message format, 1553A/B type RT,  
bus channel, self-test, and Status Word masking to be specified  
on an individual message basis. In addition, automatic retries  
and/or interrupt requests may be enabled or disabled for individ-  
ual messages. The BC performs all error checking required by  
MIL-STD-1553B. This includes validation of response time, sync  
type and sync encoding, Manchester II encoding, parity, bit  
count, word count, Status Word RT Address field, and various  
The initial value of the instruction list pointer register is initialized  
by the host processor (via Register 0D), and is incremented by  
the BC message sequence processor (host readable via  
Register 03). During operation, the message sequence control  
processor fetches the operation referenced by the instruction list  
pointer register from the instruction list.

Note that the pointer parameter referencing the first word of a  
message's control/status block (the BC Control Word) must con-  
tain an address value that is modulo 8. Also, note that if the  
message is an RT-to-RT transfer, the pointer parameter must  
contain an address value that is modulo 16.  
As shown in TABLE 36, many of the operations include a single-  
word parameter. For an XEQ (execute message) operation, the  
parameter is a pointer to the start of the messages Control /  
Status block. For other operations, the parameter may be an  
address, a time value, an interrupt pattern, a mechanism to set  
or clear general purpose flag bits, or an immediate value. For  
several op codes, the parameter is "don't care" (not used).  
OP CODES  
The instruction list pointer register references a pair of words in  
the BC instruction list: an op code word, followed by a parameter  
word. The format of the op code word, which is illustrated in FIG-  
URE 3, includes a 5-bit op code field and a 5-bit condition code  
field. The op code identifies the instruction to be executed by the  
BC message sequence controller.  
As described above, some of the op codes will cause the mes-  
sage sequence control processor to execute messages. In this  
case, the parameter references the first word of a message  
Control/Status block. With the exception of RT-to-RT transfer  
messages, all message status/control blocks are eight words  
long: a block control word, time-to-next-message parameter,  
data block pointer, command word, status word, loopback word,  
block status word, and time tag word.  
Most of the operations are conditional, with execution dependent  
on the contents of the condition code field. Bits 3-0 of the condi-  
tion code field identifies a particular condition. Bit 4 of the condi-  
tion code field identifies the logic sense ("1" or "0") of the select-  
ed condition code on which the conditional execution is depen-  
dent. TABLE 36 lists all the op codes, along with their respective  
mnemonic, code value, parameter, and description. TABLE 37  
defines all the condition codes.  
In the case of an RT-to-RT transfer message, the size of the mes-  
sage control/status block increases to 16 words. However, in this  
case, the last six words are not used; the ninth and tenth words  
are for the second command word and second status word.  
The third word in the message control/status block is a pointer  
that references the first word of the message's data word block.  
Note that the data word block stores only data words, which are  
to be either transmitted or received by the BC. By segregating  
data words from command words, status words, and other con-  
trol and "housekeeping" functions, this architecture enables the  
use of convenient, usable data structures, such as circular  
buffers and double buffers.  
Eight of the condition codes (8 through F) are set or cleared as  
the result of the most recent message. The other eight are  
defined as "General Purpose" condition codes GP0 through  
GP7.There are three mechanisms for programming the values of  
the General Purpose Condition Code bits: (1) They may be set,  
cleared, or toggled by the host processor, by means of the BC  
GENERAL PURPOSE FLAG REGISTER; (2) they may be set,  
cleared, or toggled by the BC message sequence control  
processor, by means of the GP Flag Bits (FLG) instruction; and  
(3) GP0 and GP1 only (but none of the others) may be set or  
cleared by means of the BC message sequence control proces-  
sor's Compare Frame Timer (CFT) or Compare Message Timer  
(CMT) instructions.  
Other operations support program flow control; i.e., jump and call  
capability.The call capability includes maintenance of a call stack  
which supports a maximum of four (4) entries; there is also a  
return instruction. In the case of a call stack overrun or underrun,  
the BC will issue a CALL STACK POINTER REGISTER ERROR  
interrupt, if enabled.  
The host processor also has read-only access to the BC condi-  
tion codes by means of the BC CONDITION CODE REGISTER.  
Other op codes may be used to delay for a specified time; start  
a new BC frame; wait for an external trigger to start a new frame;  
do comparisons based on frame time and time-to-next message;  
load the time tag or frame time registers; halt; and issue host  
interrupts. In the case of host interrupts, the message control  
processor passes a 4-bit user-defined interrupt vector to the  
host, by means of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's Interrupt Status  
Register.  
Note that four (4) instructions are unconditional. These are  
Compare to Frame Timer (CFT), Compare to Message Timer  
(CMT), GP Flag Bits (FLG), and Execute and Flip (XQF). For  
these instructions, the Condition Code Field is "don't care". That  
is, these instructions are always executed, regardless of the  
result of the condition code test.  
All of the other instructions are conditional. That is, they will only  
be executed if the condition code specified by the condition code  
field in the op code word tests true. If the condition code field  
tests false, the instruction list pointer will skip down to the next  
instruction.  
The purpose of the FLG instruction is to enable the message  
sequence controller to set, clear, or toggle the value(s) of any or  
all of the eight general purpose condition flags.  
The op code parity bit encompasses all sixteen bits of the op  
code word. This bit must be programmed for odd parity. If the  
message sequence control processor fetches an undefined op

NORESP  
RESP  
NORESP indicates that an RT has either not responded or has responded later than the BC No  
Response Timeout time. The Enhanced Mini-ACE's No Response Timeout Time is defined per  
MIL-STD-1553B as the time from the mid-bit crossing of the parity bit of the last word transmitted by the  
BC to the mid-sync crossing of the RT Status Word. The value of the No Response Timeout value is  
programmable from among the nominal values 18.5, 22.5, 50.5, and 130 µs (±1 µs) by means of bits 10  
and 9 of Configuration Register #5.

FMT ERR  
FMT ERR FMT ERR indicates that the received portion of the most recent message contained one or more viola-  
tions of the 1553 message validation criteria (sync, encoding, parity, bit count, word count, etc.), or the  
RT's status word received from a responding RT contained an incorrect RT address field.

For the most recent message, GD BLK XFER will be set to logic "1" following completion of a valid  
(error-free) RT-to-BC transfer, RT-to-RT transfer, or transmit mode code with data message. This bit is  
set to logic "0" following an invalid message. GOOD DATA BLOCK TRANSFER is always logic "0" fol-  
lowing a BC-to-RT transfer, a mode code with data, or a mode code without data. The Loop Test has  
no effect on GOOD DATA BLOCK TRANSFER. GOOD DATA BLOCK TRANSFER may be used to  
determine if the transmitting portion of an RT-to-RT transfer was error free.

one (or more) of the Status Mask bits (14 through 9) in the BC Control Word is logic "0" and the corre-  
sponding bit(s) is (are) set (logic "1") in the received RT Status Word. In the case of the RESERVED  
BITS MASK (bit 9) set to logic "0," any or all of the 3 Reserved Status Word bits being set will result in  
a MASKED STATUS SET condition; and/or (2) If BROADCAST MASK ENABLED/XOR (bit 11 of  
Configuration Register #4) is logic "1" and the MASK BROADCAST bit of the message's BC Control  
Word is logic "0" and the BROADCAST COMMAND RECEIVED bit in the received RT Status Word is  
logic "1.".

BC MESSAGE SEQUENCE CONTROL  
processed, rather than the one at the old address. The operation  
of the XQF instruction is illustrated in FIGURE 4.  
The BC Enhanced Mini-ACE BC message sequence control  
capability enables a high degree of offloading of the host proces-  
sor. This includes using the various timing functions to enable  
autonomous structuring of major and minor frames. In addition,  
by implementing conditional jumps and subroutine calls, the  
message sequence control processor greatly simplifies the  
insertion of asynchronous, or "out-of-band" messages.  
There are multiple ways of utilizing the "execute and flip" instruc-  
tion. One is to facilitate the implementation of a double buffering  
data scheme for individual messages. This allows the message  
sequence control processor to "ping-pong" between a pair of  
data buffers for a particular message. By so doing, the host  
processor can access one of the two Data Word blocks, while the  
BC reads or writes the alternate Data Word block.  
Execute and Flip Operation. The Enhanced Mini-ACE BC's  
XQF, or "Execute and Flip" operation, provides some unique  
capabilities. Following execution of this unconditional instruction,  
if the condition code tests TRUE, the BC will modify the value of  
the current XQF instruction's pointer parameter by toggling bit 4  
of the pointer. That is, if the selected condition flag tests true, the  
value of the parameter will be updated to the value = old  
address XOR 0010h. As a result, the next time that this line in  
the instruction list is executed, the Message Control/Status Block  
at the updated address (old address XOR 0010h) will be  
A second application of the "execute and flip" capability is in con-  
junction with message retries. This allows the BC to not only  
switch buses when retrying a failed message, but to automati-  
cally switch buses permanently for all future times that the same  
message is to be processed. This not only provides a high  
degree of autonomy from the host CPU, but saves BC band-  
width, by eliminating the need for future attempts to process  
messages on an RT's failed channel.

Register will always point to the next address location (modulo

BC message sequence control engine.  
General Purpose Queue. The Enhanced Mini-ACE BC allows  
for the creation of a general purpose queue. This data structure  
provides a means for the message sequence processor to con-  
vey information to the BC host. The BC op code repertoire pro-  
vides mechanisms to push various items on this queue. These  
include the contents of the Time Tag Register, the Block Status  
Word for the most recent message, an immediate data value, or  
the contents of a specified memory address.  
If enabled, a BC GENERAL PURPOSE QUEUE ROLLOVER  
interrupt will be issued when the value of the queue pointer  
address rolls over at a 64-word boundary.The rollover will always  
occur at a modulo 64 address.

REMOTE TERMINAL (RT) ARCHITECTURE  
ging, and an "auto-boot" feature which allows the RT to initialize  
as an online RT with the busy bit set following power turn-on.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE's RT architecture builds upon that of the  
ACE and Mini-ACE. The Enhanced Mini-ACE provides multipro-  
tocol support, with full compliance to all of the commonly used  
data bus standards, including MIL-STD-1553A, MIL-STD-1553B  
Notice 2, STANAG 3838, General Dynamics 16PP303, and  
McAirA3818, A5232, and A5690. For the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT  
mode, there is programmable flexibility enabling the RT to be con-  
figured to fulfill any set of system requirements. This includes the  
capability to meet the MIL-STD-1553A response time require-  
ment of 2 to 5 µs, and multiple options for mode code subad-  
dresses, mode codes, RT status word, and RT BIT word.  
RT MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
TABLE 38 illustrates a typical memory map for an Enhanced Mini-  
ACE RT with 4K RAM.The two Stack Pointers reside in fixed loca-  
tions in the shared RAM address space: address 0100 (hex) for  
the Area A Stack Pointer and address 0104 for the Area B Stack  
Pointer. In addition to the Stack Pointer, there are several other  
areas of the shared RAM address space that are designated as  
fixed locations (all shown in bold). These are for the Area A and  
Area B lookup tables, the illegalization lookup table, the busy  
lookup table, and the mode code data tables.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT protocol design implements all of the  
MIL-STD-1553B message formats and dual redundant mode  
codes. The design has passed validation testing for MIL-STD-  
1553B compliance. The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT performs com-  
prehensive error checking including word and format validation,  
and checks for various RT-to-RT transfer errors. One of the main  
features of the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT is its choice of memory  
management options. These include single buffering by subad-  
dress, double buffering for individual receive subaddresses, cir-  
cular buffering by individual subaddresses, and global circular  
buffering for multiple (or all) subaddresses.  
The RT lookup tables (reference TABLE 39) provide a mechanism  
for allocating data blocks for individual transmit, receive, or broad-  
cast subaddresses. The RT lookup tables include subaddress  
control words as well as the individual data block pointers. If com-  
mand illegalization is used, address range 0300-03FF is used for  
command illegalizing. The descriptor stack RAM area, as well as  
the individual data blocks, may be located in any of the non-fixed  
areas in the shared RAM address space.  
Note that in TABLE 38, there is no area allocated for "Stack B".  
This is shown for purpose of simplicity of illustration. Also, note  
that in TABLE 38, the allocated area for the RT command stack is  
256 words. However, larger stack sizes are possible. That is, the  
RT command stack size may be programmed for 256 words (64  
messages), 512, 1024, or 2048 words (512 messages) by means  
of bits 14 and 13 of Configuration Register 3.  
Other features of the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT include a set of  
interrupt conditions, an flexible status queue with filtering based  
on valid and/or invalid messages, flexible command illegalization,  
programmable busy by subaddress, multiple options on time tag-

RT MEMORY MANAGEMENT  
Like the subaddress circular buffer, the size of the global circular  
buffer is programmable, with a range of 128 to 8192 data words.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE provides a variety of RT memory man-  
agement capabilities. As with the ACE and Mini-ACE, the choice  
of memory management scheme is fully programmable on a  
transmit/receive/broadcast subaddress basis.  
The double buffering feature provides a means for the host  
processor to easily access the most recent, complete received  
block of valid Data Words for any given subaddress. In addition  
to helping ensure data sample consistency, the circular buffer  
options provide a means for greatly reducing host processor  
overhead for multi-message bulk data transfer applications.  
In compliance with MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2, received data from  
broadcast messages may be optionally separated from non-  
broadcast received data. For each transmit, receive or broadcast  
subaddress, either a single-message data block, a double  
buffered configuration (two alternating Data Word blocks), or a  
variable-sized (128 to 8192 words) subaddress circular buffer  
may be allocated for data storage. The memory management  
scheme for individual subaddresses is designated by means of  
the subaddress control word (reference TABLE 40).  
End-of-message interrupts may be enabled either globally (fol-  
lowing all messages), following error messages, on  
a
transmit/receive/broadcast subaddress or mode code basis, or  
when a circular buffer reaches its midpoint (50% boundary) or  
lower (100%) boundary. A pair of interrupt status registers allow  
the host processor to determine the cause of all interrupts by  
means of a single read operation.  
For received data, there is also a global circular buffer mode. In  
this configuration, the data words received from multiple (or all)  
subaddresses are stored in a common circular buffer structure.

SINGLE BUFFERED MODE  
the latest, valid, complete data block is always accessible to the  
host processor.  
The operation of the single buffered RT mode is illustrated in  
FIGURE 6. In the single buffered mode, the respective lookup  
table entry must be written by the host processor. Received data  
words are written to, or transmitted data words are read from the  
data word block with starting address referenced by the lookup  
table pointer. In the single buffered mode, the current lookup  
table pointer is not updated by the Enhanced Mini-ACE memory  
management logic. Therefore, if a subsequent message is  
received for the same subaddress, the same Data Word block  
will be overwritten or overread.  
CIRCULAR BUFFER MODE  
The operation of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's circular buffer RT  
memory management mode is illustrated in FIGURE 8. As in the  
single buffered and double buffered modes, the individual lookup  
table entries are initially loaded by the host processor. At the  
start of each message, the lookup table entry is stored in the  
third position of the respective message block descriptor in the  
descriptor stack area of RAM. Receive or transmit data words  
are transferred to (from) the circular buffer, starting at the loca-  
tion referenced by the lookup table pointer.  
SUBADDRESS DOUBLE BUFFERING MODE  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE provides a double buffering mechanism  
for received data, that may be selected on an individual subad-  
dress basis for any or all receive (and/or broadcast) subad-  
dresses. This is illustrated in FIGURE 7. It should be noted that  
the Subaddress Double Buffering mode is applicable for receive  
data only, not for transmit data. Double buffering of transmit  
messages may be easily implemented by software techniques.  
In general, the location after the last data word written or read  
(modulo the circular buffer size) during the message is written to  
the respective lookup table location during the end-of-message  
sequence. By so doing, data for the next message for the respec-  
tive transmit, receive(/broadcast), or broadcast subaddress will  
be accessed from the next lower contiguous block of locations in  
the circular buffer.  
The purpose of the subaddress double buffering mode is to pro-  
vide data sample consistency to the host processor. This is  
accomplished by allocating two 32-word data word blocks for  
each individual receive (and/or broadcast receive) subaddress.  
At any given time, one of the blocks will be designated as the  
"active "1553 block while the other will be considered as "inac-  
tive". The data words for the next receive command to that sub-  
address will be stored in the active block. Following receipt of a  
valid message, the Enhanced Mini-ACE will automatically switch  
the active and inactive blocks for that subaddress. As a result,  
For the case of a receive (or broadcast receive) message with a  
data word error, there is an option such that the lookup table  
pointer will only be updated following receipt of a valid message.  
That is, the pointer will not be updated following receipt of a  
message with an error in a data word. This allows failed mes-  
sages in a bulk data transfer to be retried without disrupting the  
circular buffer data structure, and without intervention by the  
RT's host processor.

Beyond the programmable choice of single buffer mode, double  
buffer mode, or circular buffer mode, programmable on an indi-  
vidual subaddress basis, the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT architec-  
ture provides an additional option, a variable sized global circu-  
lar buffer. The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT allows for a mix of single  
buffered, double buffered, and individually circular buffered sub-  
addresses, along with the use of the global double buffer for any  
arbitrary group of receive(/broadcast) or broadcast subaddress-  
es.  
The pointer to the Global Circular Buffer will be stored in location  
0101 (for Area A), or location 0105 (for Area B).  
The global circular buffer option provides a highly efficient  
method for storing received message data. It allows for fre-  
quently used subaddresses to be mapped to individual data  
blocks, while also providing a method for asynchronously  
received messages to infrequently used subaddresses to be  
logged to a common area. Alternatively, the global circular  
buffer provides an efficient means for storing the received data  
words for all subaddresses. Under this method, all received  
data words are stored chronologically, regardless of subad-  
dress.  
In the global circular buffer mode, the data for multiple receive  
subaddresses is stored in the same circular buffer data structure.  
The size of the global circular buffer may be programmed for  
128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, or 8192 words, by means of  
bits 11, 10, and 9 of Configuration Register #6. As shown in  
TABLE 40, individual subaddresses may be mapped to the glob-  
al circular buffer by means of their respective subaddress control  
words.

RT DESCRIPTOR STACK  
The 50% rollover interrupt is beneficial for performing bulk data  
transfers. For example, when using circular buffering for a partic-  
ular receive subaddress, the 50% rollover interrupt will inform the  
host processor when the circular buffer is half full. At that time,  
the host may proceed to read the received data words in the  
upper half of the buffer, while the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT writes  
received data words to the lower half of the circular buffer. Later,  
when the RT issues a 100% circular buffer rollover interrupt, the  
host can proceed to read the received data from the lower half of  
the buffer, while the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT continues to write  
received data words to the upper half of the buffer.  
The descriptor stack provides a chronology of all messages  
processed by the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT. Reference Figures 6,  
7, and 8. Similar to BC mode, there is a four-word block descrip-  
tor in the Stack for each message processed. The four entries to  
each block descriptor are the Block Status Word, Time Tag Word,  
the pointer to the start of the message's data block, and the 16-  
bit received Command Word.  
The RT Block Status Word includes indications of whether a par-  
ticular message is ongoing or has been completed, what bus  
channel it was received on, indications of illegal commands, and  
flags denoting various message error conditions. For the double  
buffering, subaddress circular buffering, and global circular  
buffering modes, the data block pointer may be used for locating  
the data blocks for specific messages. Note that for mode code  
commands, there is an option to store the transmitted or  
received data word as the third word of the descriptor, in place of  
the data block pointer.  
Interrupt status queue. The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT, Monitor,  
and combined RT/Monitor modes include the capability for gen-  
erating an interrupt status queue. As illustrated in Figure 10, this  
provides a chronological history of interrupt generating events  
and conditions. In addition to the Interrupt Mask Register, the  
Interrupt Status Queue provides additional filtering capability,  
such that only valid messages and/or only invalid messages may  
result in the creation of an entry to the Interrupt Status Queue.  
Queue entries for invalid and/or valid messages may be disabled  
by means of bits 8 and 7 of configuration register #6.  
The Time Tag Word provides a 16-bit indication of relative time  
for individual messages. The resolution of the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE's time tag is programmable from among 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or  
64 µs/LSB. There is also a provision for using an external clock  
input for the time tag (consult factory). If enabled, there is a time  
tag rollover interrupt, which is issued when the value of the time  
tag rolls over from FFFF(hex) to 0. Other time tag options include  
the capabilities to clear the time tag register following receipt of  
a Synchronize (without data) mode command and/or to set the  
time tag following receipt of a Synchronize (with data) mode  
command. For that latter, there is an added option to filter the  
"set" capability based on the LSB of the received data word  
being equal to logic "0".  
The interrupt status queue is 64 words deep, providing the capa-  
bility to store entries for up to 32 messages. These events and  
conditions include both message-related and non-message  
related events. Note that the Interrupt Vector Queue Pointer  
Register will always point to the next location (modulo 64) fol-  
lowing the last vector/pointer pair written by the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE RT.  
The pointer to the Interrupt Status Queue is stored in the  
INTERRUPT VECTOR QUEUE POINTER REGISTER (register  
address 1F). This register must be initialized by the host, and is  
subsequently incremented by the RT message processor. The  
interrupt status queue is 64 words deep, providing the capability  
to store entries for up to 32 messages.  
RT INTERRUPTS  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE offers a great deal of flexibility in terms  
of RT interrupt processing. By means of the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE's two Interrupt Mask Registers, the RT may be programmed  
to issue interrupt requests for the following events/conditions:  
End-of-(every)Message, Message Error, Selected (transmit or  
receive) Subaddress, 100% Circular Buffer Rollover, 50%  
Circular Buffer Rollover, 100% Descriptor Stack Rollover, 50%  
Descriptor Stack Rollover, Selected Mode Code, Transmitter  
Timeout, Illegal Command, and Interrupt Status Queue Rollover.  
The queue rolls over at addresses of modulo 64. The events that  
result in queue entries include both message-related and non-  
message-related events. Note that the Interrupt Vector Queue  
Pointer Register will always point to the next location (modulo 64)  
following the last vector/pointer pair written by the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE RT, Monitor, or RT/Monitor.  
Each event that causes an interrupt results in a two-word entry  
to be written to the queue. The first word of the entry is the inter-  
rupt vector. The vector indicates which interrupt event(s)/condi-  
tion(s) caused the interrupt.  
Interrupts for 50% Rollovers of Stacks and Circular Buffers.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT and Monitor are capable of issuing  
host interrupts when a subaddress circular buffer pointer or stack  
pointer crosses its mid-point boundary. For RT circular buffers,  
this is applicable for both transmit and receive subaddresses.  
Reference FIGURE 9. There are four interrupt mask and inter-  
rupt status register bits associated with the 50% rollover  
function:  
The interrupt events are classified into two categories: message  
interrupt events and non-message interrupt events. Message-  
based interrupt events include End-of-Message, Selected mode  
code, Format error, Subaddress control word interrupt, RT  
Circular buffer Rollover, Handshake failure, RT Command stack  
rollover, transmitter timeout, MT Data Stack rollover,  
MT Command Stack rollover, RT Command Stack 50% rollover,  
MT Data Stack 50% rollover, MT Command Stack 50% rollover,  
and RT Circular buffer 50% rollover. Non-message interrupt

If enabled, an INTERRUPT STATUS QUEUE ROLLOVER inter-  
rupt will be issued when the value of the queue pointer address  
rolls over at a 64-word address boundary.  
Bit 0 of the interrupt vector (interrupt status) word indicates  
whether the entry is for a message interrupt event (if bit 0 is logic  
"1") or a non-message interrupt event (if bit 0 is logic "0"). It is not  
possible for one entry on the queue to indicate both a message  
interrupt and a non-message interrupt.  
RT COMMAND ILLEGALIZATION  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE provides an internal mechanism for RT  
Command Word illegalizing. By means of a 256-word area in  
shared RAM, the host processor may designate that any mes-  
As illustrated in FIGURE 10, for a message interrupt event, the  
parameter word is a pointer. The pointer will reference the first  
word of the RT or MT command stack descriptor (i.e., the Block  
Status Word).  
T/R  
sage be illegalized, based on the command word  
bit, sub-  
address, and word count/mode code fields. The Enhanced Mini-  
ACE illegalization scheme provides the maximum in flexibility,  
allowing any subset of the 4096 possible combinations of broad-  
cast/own address, T/R bit, subaddress, and word count/mode  
code to be illegalized.  
For a RAM Parity Error non-message interrupt, the parameter  
will be the RAM address where the parity check failed. For the  
RT address Parity Error, Protocol Self-test Complete, and Time  
Tag rollover non-message interrupts, the parameter is not used;  
it will have a value of 0000.  
The address map of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's illegalizing table  
is illustrated in TABLE 41.

BUSY BIT  
RT BUILT-IN-TEST (BIT) WORD  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE RT provides two different methods for  
setting the Busy status word bit: (1) globally, by means of  
Configuration Register #1; or (2) on a T/R-bit/subaddress basis,  
by means of a RAM lookup table. If the host CPU asserts the

If the busy bit is set for a transmit command, the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE RT will respond with the busy bit set in the status word, but  
will not transmit any data words. If the busy bit is set for a receive  
command, the RT will also respond with the busy status bit set.  
There are two programmable options regarding the reception of  
data words for a non-mode code receive command for which the  
RT is busy: (1) to transfer the received data words to shared  
RAM; or (2) to not transfer the data words to shared RAM.

RT ADDRESS  
0(LSB)  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE offers several different options for des-  
ignating the Remote Terminal address. These include the follow-  
ing: (1) hardwired, by means of the 5 RT ADDRESS inputs, and  
the RT ADDRESS PARITY input; (2) by means of the RT  
ADDRESS (and PARITY) inputs, but latched via hardware, on  
the rising edge of the RT_AD_LAT input signal; (3) input by  
means of the RT ADDRESS (and PARITY) inputs, but latched via  
host software; and (4) software programmable, by means of an  
internal register. In all four configurations, the RT address is  
readable by the host processor.  
RT AUTO-BOOT OPTION  
If utilized, the RT pin-programmable auto-boot option allows the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE RT to automatically initialize as an active  
remote terminal with the Busy status word bit set to logic "1"  
immediately following power turn-on. This is a useful feature for  
MIL-STD-1760 applications, in which the RT is required to be  
responding within 150 ms after power-up. This feature is avail-  
able for versions of the Enhanced Mini-ACE with 4K words of  
RAM.  
OTHER RT FEATURES.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE includes options for the Terminal flag  
status word bit to be set either under software control and/or  
automatically following a failure of the loopback self-test. Other  
software programmable RT options include software program-  
mable RT status and RT BIT words, automatic clearing of the  
Service Request bit following receipt of a Transmit vector word  
mode command, options regarding Data Word transfers for the  
Busy and Message error (illegal) Status word bits, and options  
for the handling of 1553A and reserved mode codes.  
29  
MONITOR ARCHITECTURE  
The current Monitor address is maintained by means of a  
counter register. This value may be read by the CPU by means  
of the Data Stack Address Register. It is important to note that  
when the counter reaches the Stack Pointer address of 0100 or  
0104, the initial pointer value stored in this shared RAM location  
will be overwritten by the monitored data and ID Words. When  
the internal counter reaches an address of FFFF (or 0FFF, for an  
Enhanced Mini-ACE with 4K RAM), the counter rolls over to  
0000.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE includes three monitor modes:  
(1) A Word Monitor mode.  
(2) A selective message monitor mode.  
(3) A combined RT/message monitor mode.  
For new applications, it is recommended that the selective mes-  
sage monitor mode be used, rather than the word monitor mode.  
WORD MONITOR TRIGGER  
In the Word Monitor mode, there is a pattern recognition trigger  
and a pattern recognition interrupt. The 16-bit compare word for  
both the trigger and the interrupt is stored in the Monitor Trigger  
Word Register. The pattern recognition interrupt is enabled by  
setting the MT Pattern Trigger bit in Interrupt Mask Register #1.  
The pattern recognition trigger is enabled by setting the Trigger  
Enable bit in Configuration Register #1 and selecting either the  
Start-on-trigger or the Stop-on-trigger bit in Configuration  
Register #1.  
T/R  
Besides providing monitor filtering based on RT address,  
bit, and subaddress, the message monitor eliminates the need to  
determine the start and end of messages by software.  
WORD MONITOR MODE  
In the Word Monitor Terminal mode, the Enhanced Mini-ACE  
monitors both 1553 buses. After the software initialization and  
Monitor Start sequences, the Enhanced Mini-ACE stores all  
Command, Status, and Data Words received from both buses.  
For each word received from either bus, a pair of words is stored  
to the Enhanced Mini-ACE's shared RAM. The first word is the  
word received from the 1553 bus. The second word is the  
Monitor Identification (ID), or "Tag" word. The ID word contains  
information relating to bus channel, word validity, and inter-word  
time gaps. The data and ID words are stored in a circular buffer  
in the shared RAM address space.  
The Word Monitor may also be started by means of a low-to-high  
transition on the EXT_TRIG input signal.  
SELECTIVE MESSAGE MONITOR MODE  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE Selective Message Monitor provides  
monitoring of 1553 messages with filtering based on RT  
address, T/R bit, and subaddress with no host processor inter-  
vention. By autonomously distinguishing between 1553 com-  
mand and status words, the Message Monitor determines when  
messages begin and end, and stores the messages into RAM,  
WORD MONITOR MEMORY MAP  
A typical word monitor memory map is illustrated in TABLE 43.  
TABLE 43 assumes a 64K address space for the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE's monitor. The Active Area Stack pointer provides the  
address where the first monitored word is stored. In the example,  
it is assumed that the Active Area Stack Pointer for Area A (loca-  
tion 0100) is initialized to 0000. The first received data word is  
stored in location 0000, the ID word for the first word is stored in  
location 0001, etc.

The selective monitor may be configured as just a monitor, or as  
a combined RT/Monitor. In the combined RT/Monitor mode, the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE functions as an RT for one RT address  
(including broadcast messages), and as a selective message  
monitor for the other 30 RT addresses. The Enhanced Mini-ACE  
Message Monitor contains two stacks, a command stack and a  
data stack, that are independent from the RT command stack.  
The pointers for these stacks are located at fixed locations in  
RAM.

MONITOR SELECTION FUNCTION  
Following receipt of a valid command word in Selective Monitor  
mode, the Enhanced Mini-ACE will reference the selective mon-  
itor lookup table to determine if the particular command is  
enabled. The address for this location in the table is determined  
by means of an offset based on the RT Address, T/R bit, and  
Subaddress bit 4 of the current command word, and concate-  
nating it to the monitor lookup table base address of 0280 (hex).  
The bit location within this word is determined by subaddress bits  
3-0 of the current command word.

If the specified bit in the lookup table is logic "0", the command  
is not enabled, and the Enhanced Mini-ACE will ignore this com-  
mand. If this bit is logic "1", the command is enabled and the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE will create an entry in the monitor command  
descriptor stack (based on the monitor command stack pointer),  
and store the data and status words associated with the com-  
mand into sequential locations in the monitor data stack. In addi-  
tion, for an RT-to-RT transfer in which the receive command is  
selected, the second command word (the transmit command) is  
stored in the monitor data stack.  
SELECTIVE MESSAGE MONITOR MEMORY  
ORGANIZATION  
A typical memory map for the ACE in the Selective Message  
Monitor mode, assuming a 4K RAM space, is illustrated in  
TABLE 45.This mode of operation defines several fixed locations  
in the RAM.These locations are allocated in a way in which none  
of them overlap with the fixed RT locations. This allows for the  
combined RT/Selective Message Monitor mode.  
The address definition for the Selective Monitor Lookup TABLE  
is illustrated in TABLE 44.  
The fixed memory map consists of two Monitor Command Stack  
Pointers (locations 102 and 106 hex), two Monitor Data Stack  
Pointers (locations 103 and 107 hex), and a Selective Message  
Monitor Lookup Table (locations 0280 through 02FF hex).

FIGURE 11 illustrates the Selective Message Monitor operation.  
Upon receipt of a valid Command Word, the Enhanced Mini-ACE  
will reference the Selective Monitor Lookup Table to determine if  
the current command is enabled. If the current command is dis-  
abled, the Enhanced Mini-ACE monitor will ignore (and not store)  
the current message. If the command is enabled, the monitor will  
create an entry in the Monitor Command Stack at the address  
location referenced by the Monitor Command Stack Pointer, and  
an entry in the monitor data stack starting at the location refer-  
enced by the Monitor Data Stack Pointer.  
The format of the information in the data stack depends on the  
format of the message that was processed. For example, for a  
BC-to-RT transfer (receive command), the monitor will store the  
command word in the monitor command descriptor stack, with  
the data words and the receiving RT's status word stored in the  
monitor data stack.  
The size of the monitor command stack is programmable, with  
choices of 256, 1K, 4K, or 16K words. The monitor data stack  
size is programmable with choices of 512, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K,  
32K or 64K words.  
31  
Monitor Interrupts. Selective monitor interrupts may be issued  
for End-of-message and for conditions relating to the monitor  
command stack pointer and monitor data stack pointer. The lat-  
ter, which are shown in FIGURE 9, include Command Stack 50%  
Rollover, Command Stack 100% Rollover, Data Stack 50%  
Rollover, and Data Stack 100% Rollover.  
MISCELLANEOUS  
CLOCK INPUT  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE decoder is capable of operating from a  
10, 12, 16, or 20 MHz clock input. Depending on the configura-  
tion of the specific model Enhanced Mini-ACE terminal, the  
selection of the clock input frequency may be chosen by one of  
either two methods. For all versions, the clock frequency may be  
specified by means of the host processor writing to Configuration  
Register #6.With the second method, which is applicable only for  
the versions incorporating 4K (but not 64K) words of internal  
RAM, the clock frequency may be specified by means of the  
input signals that are otherwise used as the A15 and A14  
address lines.  
The 50% rollover interrupts may be used to inform the host  
processor when the command stack or data stack is half full. At  
that time, the host may proceed to read the received messages  
in the upper half of the respective stack, while the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE monitor writes messages to the lower half of the stack.  
Later, when the monitor issues a 100% stack rollover interrupt,  
the host can proceed to read the received data from the lower  
half of the stack, while the Enhanced Mini-ACE monitor contin-  
ues to write received data words to the upper half of the stack.  
ENCODER/DECODERS  
For the selected clock frequency, there is internal logic to derive  
the necessary clocks for the Manchester encoder and decoders.  
For all clock frequencies, the decoders sample the receiver out-  
puts on both edges of the input clock. By in effect doubling the  
decoders' sampling frequency, this serves to widen the tolerance  
to zero-crossing distortion, and reduce the bit error rate.  
INTERRUPT STATUS QUEUE  
Like the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT, the Selective Monitor mode  
includes the capability for generating an interrupt status queue.  
As illustrated in FIGURE 10, this provides a chronological histo-  
ry of interrupt generating events. Besides the two Interrupt Mask  
Registers, the Interrupt Status Queue provides additional filter-  
ing capability, such that only valid messages and/or only invalid  
messages may result in entries to the Interrupt Status Queue.  
The interrupt status queue is 64 words deep, providing the capa-  
bility to store entries for up to 32 monitored messages.  
For interfacing to fiber optic transceivers (e.g., for MIL-STD-1773  
applications), the decoders are capable of operating with single-  
ended, rather than double-ended, input signals. For applications  
involving the use of single-ended transceivers, it is suggested  
that you contact the factory at DDC regarding a transceiverless  
version of the Enhanced Mini-ACE.

The Enhanced Mini-ACE includes an internal read/writable Time  
Tag Register. This register is a CPU read/writable 16-bit counter  
with a programmable resolution of either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 µs  
per LSB. Another option allows software controlled incrementing  
of the Time Tag Register. This supports self-test for the Time Tag  
Register. For each message processed, the value of the Time  
Tag Register is loaded into the second location of the respective  
descriptor stack entry ("TIME TAG WORD") for both the BC and  
RT modes.  
For the Enhanced Mini-ACE's Enhanced BC mode, there are  
four user-defined interrupt bits. The BC Message Sequence  
Control Engine includes an instruction enabling it to issue these  
interrupts at any time.  
For RT and Monitor modes, the Enhanced Mini-ACE architecture  
include an Interrupt Status Queue. This provides a mechanism  
for logging messages that result in interrupt requests. Entries to  
the Interrupt Status Queue may be filtered such that only valid  
and/or invalid messages will result in entries on the queue.  
The functionality involving the Time Tag Register that's compati-  
ble with ACE/Mini-ACE (Plus) includes: the capability to issue an  
interrupt request and set a bit in the Interrupt Status Register  
when the Time Tag Register rolls over FFFF to 0000; for RT  
mode, the capability to automatically clear the Time Tag Register  
following reception of a Synchronize (without data) mode com-  
mand, or to load the Time Tag Register following a Synchronize  
(with data) mode command.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE incorporates additional interrupt condi-  
tions beyond ACE/Mini-ACE (Plus), based on the addition of  
Interrupt Mask Register #2 and Interrupt Status Register #2.This  
is accomplished by chaining the two Interrupt Status Registers  
using the INTERRUPT CHAIN BIT (bit 0) in Interrupt Status  
Register #2 to indicate that an interrupt has occurred in Interrupt  
Status Register #1. Additional interrupts include "Self-Test  
Completed", masking bits for the Enhanced BC Control  
Interrupts, 50% Rollover interrupts for RT Command Stack, RT  
Circular Buffers, MT Command Stack, and MT Data Stack; BC  
Op Code Parity Error, (RT) Illegal Command, (BC) General  
Purpose Queue or (RT/MT) Interrupt Status Queue Rollover,  
Call Stack Pointer Register Error, BC Trap Op Code, and the four  
User-Defined interrupts for the Enhanced BC mode.  
Additional time tag features supported by the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE include the capability for the BC to transmit the contents of  
the Time Tag Register as the data word for a Synchronize (with  
data) mode command; the capability for the RT to "filter" the data  
word for the Synchronize with data mode command, by only  
loading the Time Tag Register if the LSB of the received data  
word is "0"; an instruction enabling the BC Message Sequence  
Control engine to load the Time Tag Register with a specified  
value; and an instruction enabling the BC Message Sequence  
Control engine to write the value of the Time Tag Register to the  
General Purpose Queue.  
BUILT-IN TEST  
A salient feature of the Enhanced Mini-ACE is its highly  
autonomous self-test capability. This includes both protocol and  
RAM self-tests. Either or both of these self-tests may be initiated  
by command(s) from the host processor.  
INTERRUPTS  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE series terminals provide many pro-  
grammable options for interrupt generation and handling. The  
INT  
interrupt output pin (  
) has three software programmable  
mode of operation: a pulse , a level output cleared under soft-  
ware control, or a level output automatically cleared following a  
read of the Interrupt Status Register (#1 or #2).  
The protocol test consists of a toggle test of 95% of the termi-  
nal's logic gates. The test includes a comprehensive test of all  
registers, Manchester encoder and decoders, transmitter failsafe  
timer, and protocol logic. This test is completed in approximately  
32,000 clock cycles. That is, about 1.6 ms with a 20 MHz clock,  
2.0 ms at 16 MHz, 2.7 ms at 12 MHz, and 3.2 ms at 10 MHz.  
Individual interrupts are enabled by the two Interrupt Mask  
Registers. The host processor may determine the cause of the  
interrupt by reading the two Interrupt Status Registers, which  
provide the current state of interrupt events and conditions. The  
Interrupt Status Registers may be updated in two ways. In one  
interrupt handling mode, a particular bit in Interrupt Status  
Register #1 or #2 will be updated only if the event occurs and the  
corresponding bit in Interrupt Mask Register #1 or #2 is enabled.  
In the enhanced interrupt handling mode, a particular bit in the  
one of the Interrupt Status Registers will be updated if the  
event/condition occurs regardless of the value of the corre-  
sponding Interrupt Mask Register bit. In either case, the respec-  
tive Interrupt Mask Register (#1 or #2) bit is used to enable an  
interrupt for a particular event/condition.  
There is also a separate built-in test for the Enhanced Mini-  
ACE's 4K X 16 or 64K X 16 shared RAM. This test consists of  
writing and then reading/verifying the two walking patterns "data  
= address" and "data = address inverted". This test takes 10  
clock cycles per word. For an Enhanced Mini-ACE with 4K words  
of RAM, this is about 2.0 ms with a 20 MHz clock, 2.6 ms at 16  
MHz, 3.4 ms at 12 MHz, or 4.1 ms at 10 MHz. For an Enhanced  
Mini-ACE with 64K words of RAM, this test takes about 32.8 ms  
with a 20 MHz clock, 40.1 ms at 16 MHz, 54.6 ms at 12 MHz, or  
65.6 ms at 10 MHz.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE built-in test may be initiated by a com-  
mand from the host processor, via the START/REST REGIS-  
TER. For RT mode, this may include the host processor invoking  
self-test following receipt of an Initiate self-test mode command.  
The results of the self-test are host accessible by means of the  
BIT status register. For RT mode, the result of the self-test may

be communicated to the bus controller via bit 8 of the RT BIT  
word ("0" = pass, "1" = fail).  
HOST PROCESSOR INTERFACE  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE supports a wide variety of processor  
interface configurations. These include shared RAM and DMA  
configurations, straightforward interfacing for 16-bit and 8-bit  
buses, support for both non-multiplexed and multiplexed  
address/data buses, non-zero wait mode for interfacing to a  
processor address/data buses, and zero wait mode for interfac-  
ing (for example) to microcontroller I/O ports. In addition, with  
respect to the ACE/Mini-ACE, the Enhanced Mini-ACE provides  
two major improvements: (1) reduced maximum host access  
time for shared RAM mode; and (2) increased maximum DMA  
grant time for the transparent/DMA mode.  
Assuming that the protocol self-test passes, all of the register  
and shared RAM locations will be restored to their state prior to  
the self-test, with the exception of the 60 RAM address locations  
0342-037D and the TIME TAG REGISTER. Note that for RT  
mode, these locations map to the illegalization lookup table for  
"broadcast transmit subaddresses 1 through 30" (non-mode  
code subaddresses). Since MIL-STD-1553 does not define  
these as valid command words, this section of the illegalization  
lookup table is normally not used.The TIME TAG REGISTER will  
continue to increment during the self-test.  
If there is a failure of the protocol self-test, it is possible to access  
information about the first failed vector. This may be done by  
means of the Enhanced Mini-ACE's upper registers (register  
addresses 32 through 63). Through these registers, it is possible  
to determine the self-test ROM address of the first failed vector,  
the expected response data pattern (from the ROM), the register  
or memory address, and the actual (incorrect) data value read  
from register or memory. The on-chip self-test ROM is 4K X 24.  
The Enhanced Mini-ACE's maximum host holdoff time (time prior  
READYD  
to the assertion of the  
handshake signal) has been sig-  
nificantly reduced. For ACE/Mini-ACE, this maximum holdoff  
time is 10 internal word transfer cycles, resulting in an overall  
holdoff time of approximately 2.8 µs, using a 16 MHz clock. By  
comparison, using the Enhanced Mini-ACE's ENHANCED CPU  
ACCESS feature, this worst-case holdoff time is reduced signifi-  
cantly, to a single internal transfer cycle. For example, when  
operating the Enhanced Mini-ACE in its 16-bit buffered, non-zero  
wait configuration with a 16 MHz clock input, this results in a  
maximum overall host transfer cycle time of 632 ns for a read  
cycle, or 570 ns for a write cycle.  
Note that the RAM self-test is destructive. That is, following the  
RAM self-test, regardless of whether the test passes or fails, the  
shared RAM is not restored to its state prior to this test.  
Following a failed RAM self-test, the host may read the internal  
RAM to determine which location(s) failed the walking pattern  
test.  
In addition, for using the ACE or Mini-ACE in the  
transparent/DMA configuration, the maximum request-to-grant  
time, which occurs prior to an RT start-of-message sequence, is  
4.0 µs with a 16 MHz clock, or 3.5 µs with a 12 MHz clock. For  
the Enhanced Mini-ACE functioning as a MIL-STD-1553B RT,  
this time has been increased to 8.5 µs at 10 MHz, 10 µs at 16  
MHz, 9 µs at 12 MHz, and 10.5 µs at 20MHz. This provides  
greater flexibility, particularly for systems in which a host has to  
arbitrate among multiple DMA requestors.  
RAM PARITY  
The BC/RT/MT version of the Enhanced Mini-ACE is available  
with options of 4K or 64K words of internal RAM. For the 64K  
option, the RAM is 17 bits wide. The 64K X 17 internal RAM  
allows for parity generation for RAM write accesses, and parity  
checking for RAM read accesses.This includes host RAM acess-  
es, as well as acesses by the Enhanced Mini-ACEs internal  
logic. When the Enhanced Mini-ACE detects a RAM parity error,  
it reports it to the host processor by means of an interrupt and a  
register bit. Also, for the RT and Selective Message Monitor  
modes, the RAM address where a parity error was detected will  
be stored on the Interrupt Status Queue (if enabled).  
By far, the most commonly used processor interface configura-  
tion is the 16-bit buffered, non-zero wait mode.This configuration  
may be used to interface between 16-bit or 32-bit microproces-  
sors and an Enhanced Mini-ACE. In this mode, only the  
Enhanced Mini-ACE's internal 4K or 64K words of internal RAM  
are used for storing 1553 message data and associated "house-  
keeping" functions. That is, in this configuration, the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE will never attempt to access memory on the host bus.  
RELOCATABLE MEMORY MANAGEMENT LOCATIONS  
In the Enhanced Mini-ACE's default configuration, there is a fixed  
area of shared RAM addresses, 0000h-03FF, that is allocated for  
storage of the BC's or RT's pointers, counters, tables, and other  
"non-message" data structures. As a means of reducing the  
overall memory address space for using multiple Enhanced Mini-  
ACEs in a given system (e.g., for use with the DMA interface  
configuration), the Enhanced Mini-ACE allows this area of RAM  
to be relocated by means of 6 configuration register bits. To pro-  
vide backwards compatibility to ACE and Mini-ACE, the default  
for this RAM area is 0000h-03FFh.  
FIGURE 12 illustrates a generic connection diagram between a  
16-bit (or 32-bit) microprocessor and an Enhanced Mini-ACE for  
the 16-bit buffered configuration, while Figures 13 and 14, and  
associated tables illustrate the processor read and write timing  
respectively.

side of the primary is shorted to the primary center-tap, the  
inductance measured accross the secondary(stub side) wind-  
ing must also be less than 6.0 µH.  
In selecting isolation transformers to be used with the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE, there is a limitation on the maximum amount of leak-  
age inductance. If this limit is exceeded, the transmitter rise and  
fall times may increase, possibly causing the bus amplitude to fall  
below the minimum level required by MIL-STD-1553. In addition,  
an excessive leakage imbalance may result in a transformer  
dynamic offset that exceeds 1553 specifications.  
The difference between these two measurements is the  
differentialleakage inductance. This value must be less than  
1.0 µH.  
Beta Transformer Technology Corporation (BTTC), a subsidiary  
of DDC, manufactures transformers in a variety of mechanical  
configurations with the required turns ratios of 1:2.5 direct cou-  
pled, and 1:1.79 transformer coupled. TABLE 46 provides a list-  
ing of many of these transformers.  
The maximum allowable leakage inductance is 6.0 µH, and  
is measured as follows:  
The side of the transformer that connects to the Enhanced  
Mini-ACE is defined as the primarywinding. If one side of the  
primary is shorted to the primary center-tap, the inductance  
should be measured across the secondary(stub side) winding.  
This inductance must be less tha 6.0 µH. Similarly, if the other

53 16-bit bi-directional data bus. This bus interfaces the host processor to the Enhanced Mini-ACE's internal registers and  
internal RAM. In addition, in transparent mode, this bus allows data transfers to take place between the internal proto-  
col/memory management logic and up to 64K x 16 of external RAM. Most of the time, the outputs for D15 through D0 are  
50  
48 in the high impedance state. They drive outward in the buffered or transparent mode when the host CPU reads the inter-  
nal RAM or registers.  
49  
Also, in the transparent mode, D15-D0 will drive outward (towards the host) when the protocol/management logic is  
accessing (either reading or writing) internal RAM, or writing to external RAM. In the transparent mode, D15-D0 drives  
inward when the CPU writes internal registers or RAM, or when the protocol/memory management logic reads external  
RAM.

DESCRIPTION  
SIGNAL NAME  
PIN  
SELECT (1)  
61 Generally connected to a CPU address decoder output to select the Enhanced Mini-ACE for a transfer to/from either  
RAM or register.  
STRBD (1)  
RD / WR  
62 Strobe Data. Used in conjunction with SELECT to initiate and control the data transfer cycle between the host proces-  
sor and the ENHANCED MINI-ACE. STRBD must be asserted low through the full duration of the transfer cycle.  
63 Read/Write. For a host processor access, RD/WR selects between reading and writing. In the 16-bit buffered mode, if  
POL_SEL is logic "0, then RD/WR should be low (logic 0") for read accesses and high (logic "1") for write accesses. If  
POL_SEL is logic "1", or the interface is configured for a mode other than 16-bit buffered mode, then RD/WR is high  
(logic "1") for read accesses and low (logic "0") for write accesses.  
ADDR_LAT(1) /  
MEMOE (0)  
14 Memory Output Enable or Address Latch.  
In buffered mode, the ADDR_LAT input is used to configure the buffers for A15-A0, SELECT, MEM/REG, and MSB/LSB  
(for 8-bit mode only) in latched mode (when low) or transparent mode (when high). That is, the Enhanced Mini-ACE's  
internal transparent latches will track the values on A15-A0, SELECT, MEM/REG, and MSB/LSB when ADDR_LAT is  
high, and latch the values when ADDR_LAT goes low.  
In general, for interfacing to processors with a non-multiplexed address/data bus, ADDR_LAT should be hardwired to  
logic "1". For interfacing to processors with a multiplexed address/data bus, ADDR_LAT should be connected to a signal  
that indicates a valid address when ADDR_LAT is logic "1".  
In transparent mode, MEMOE output signal is used to enable data outputs for external RAM read cycles (normally con-  
nected to the OE input signal on external RAM chips).  
ZEROWAIT (1) /  
MEMWR (0)  
23 Memory Write or Zero Wait . In buffered mode, input signal (ZEROWAIT) used to select between the zero wait mode  
(ZEROWAIT = 0") and the non-zero wait mode (ZEROWAIT = "1").  
In transparent mode, active low output signal (MEMWR) asserted low during memory write transfers to strobe data into  
external RAM (normally connected to the WR input signal on external RAM chips).  
16 / 8 (1) /  
DTREQ (0)  
24 Data Transfer Request or Data Bus Select. In buffered mode, input signal 16/8 used to select between the 16 bit data  
transfer mode (16/8= "1") and the 8-bit data transfer mode (16/8 = "0").  
In transparent mode (16-bit only), active low level output signal DTREQ used to request access to the processor/RAM  
interface bus (address and data buses).  
MSB / LSB (1) /  
DTGRT (1)  
64 Data Transfer Grant or Most Significant Byte/Least Significant Byte.  
In 8-bit buffered mode, input signal (MSB/LSB) used to indicate which byte is currently being transferred (MSB or LSB).  
The logic sense of MSB/LSB is controlled by the POL_SEL input. MSB/LSB is not used in the 16-bit buffered mode.  
In transparent mode, active low input signal (DTGRT) asserted in response to the DTREQ output to indicate that control  
of the external processor/RAM bus has been transferred from the host processor to the Enhanced Mini-ACE.  
POL_SEL (1) /  
DTACK (0)  
29 Data Transfer Acknowledge or Polarity Select. In 16-bit buffered mode, if POL_SEL is connected to logic "1", RD/WR  
should be asserted high (logic "1") for a read operation and low (logic "0") for a write operation. In 16-bit buffered  
mode, if POL_SEL is connected to logic "0", RD/WR should be asserted low (logic "0") for a read operation and high  
(logic "1") for a write operation.  
In 8-bit buffered mode (TRANSPARENT/ BUFFERED = 0" and 16/8 = "0"), POL_SEL input signal used to control the  
logic sense of the MSB/LSB signal. If POL_SEL is connected to logic 0", MSB/LSB should be asserted low (logic "0")  
to indicate the transfer of the least significant byte and high (logic "1") to indicate the transfer of the most significant  
byte. If POL_SEL is connected to logic 1", MSB/LSB should be asserted high (logic "1") to indicate the transfer of the  
least significant byte and low (logic "0") to indicate the transfer of the most significant byte.  
In transparent mode, active low output signal (DTACK) used to indicate acceptance of the processor/RAM interface bus  
in response to a data transfer grant (DTGRT). The Enhanced Mini-ACE's RAM transfers over A15-A0 and D15-D0 will  
be framed by the time that DTACK is asserted low.

DESCRIPTION  
SIGNAL NAME PIN  
TRIG_SEL (1) /  
MEMENA_IN (1)  
28 Memory Enable or Trigger Select input. In 8-bit buffered mode, input signal (TRIG-SEL) used to select the order in which  
byte pairs are transferred to or from the Enhanced MINI-ACE by the host processor. In the 8-bit buffered mode,  
TRIG_SEL should be asserted high (logic 1) if the byte order for both read operations and write operations is MSB fol-  
lowed by LSB. TRIG_SEL should be asserted low (logic 0) if the byte order for both read operations and write opera-  
tions is LSB followed by MSB.  
This signal has no operation in the 16-bit buffered mode (it does not need to be connected).  
In transparent mode, active low input MEMENA_IN, used as a Chip Select (CS) input to the Enhanced Mini-ACE's inter-  
nal shared RAM. If only internal RAM is used, should be connected directly to the output of a gate that is OR'ing the  
DTACK and IOEN output signals.  
MEM / REG(1)  
1
Memory/Register. Generally connected to either a CPU address line or address decoder output. Selects between mem-  
ory access (MEM/REG = "1") or register access (MEM/REG = "0").  
SSFLAG (1) /  
EXT_TRIG(1)  
32 Subsystem Flag (RT) or External Trigger (BC/Word Monitor) input. In RT mode, if this input is asserted low, the  
Subsystem Flag bit will be set in the ENHANCED MINI-ACE's RT Status Word. If the SSFLAG input is logic "0" while bit  
8 of Configuration Register #1 has been programmed to logic "1" (cleared), the Subsystem Flag RT Status Word bit will  
become logic "1," but bit 8 of Configuration Register #1, SUBSYSTEM FLAG, will return logic "1" when read. That is, the  
sense on the SSFLAG input has no effect on the SUBSYSTEM FLAG register bit.  
In the non-enhanced BC mode, this signal operates as an External Trigger input. In BC mode, if the external BC Start  
option is enabled (bit 7 of Configuration Register #1), a low to high transition on this input will issue a BC Start com-  
mand, starting execution of the current BC frame.  
In the enhanced BC mode, during the execution of a Wait for External Trigger (WTG) instruction, the Enhanced Mini-ACE  
BC will wait for a low-to-high transition on EXT_TRIG before proceeding to the next instruction.  
In the Word Monitor mode, if the external trigger is enabled (bit 7 of Configuration Register #1), a low to high transition  
on this input will initiate a monitor start.  
This input has no effect in Message Monitor mode.  
TRANSPARENT / 55 Used to select between the buffered mode (when strapped to logic 0) and transparent/DMA mode (when strapped to  
BUFFERED  
logic 1") for the host processor interface.  
READYD  
56 Handshake output to host processor. For a nonzero wait state read access, READYD is asserted at the end of a host  
transfer cycle to indicate that data is available to be read on D15 through D0 when asserted (low). For a nonzero wait  
state write cycle, READYD is asserted at the end of the cycle to indicate that data has been transferred to a register or  
RAM location. For both nonzero wait reads and writes, the host must assert STRBD low until READYD is asserted low.  
In the (buffered) zero wait state mode, this output is normally logic "0", indicating that the Enhanced Mini-ACE is in a  
state ready to accept a subsequent host transfer cycle. In zero wait mode, READYD will transition from low to high during  
(or just after) a host transfer cycle, when the Enhanced Mini-ACE initiates its internal transfer to or from registers or inter-  
nal RAM. When the Enhanced Mini-ACE completes its internal transfer, READYD returns to logic "0", indicating it is  
ready for the host to initiate a subsequent transfer cycle.  
IOEN(0)  
58 I/O Enable. Tri-state control for external address and data buffers. Generally not used in buffered mode. When low, indi-  
cates that the Enhanced Mini-ACE is currently performing a host access to an internal register, or internal or (for trans-  
parent mode) external RAM. In transparent mode, IOEN (low) should be used to enable external address and data bus  
tri-state buffers.

RT ADDRESS  
DESCRIPTION  
SIGNAL NAME PIN  
RTAD4 (MSB) (1) 35 RT Address inputs. If bit 5 of Configuration Register #6, RT ADDRESS SOURCE, is programmed to logic "0" (default),  
then the Enhanced Mini-ACE's RT address is provided by means of these 5 input signals. In addition, if RT ADDRESS  
RTAD3 (1)  
34  
21  
41  
33  
SOURCE is logic "0", the source of RT address parity is RTADP.  
RTAD2 (1)  
There are many methods for using these input signals for designating the Enhanced Mini-ACE's RT address. For details,  
refer to the description of RT_AD_LAT.  
RTAD1 (1)  
If RT ADDRESS SOURCE is programmed to logic "1", then the Enhanced Mini-ACE's source for its RT address and par-  
ity is under software control, via data lines D5-D0. In this case, the RTAD4-RTAD0 and RTADP signals are not used.  
RTAD0 (LSB) (1)  
RTADP (1)  
40 Remote Terminal Address Parity. This input signal must provide an odd parity sum with RTAD4-RTAD0 in order for the  
RT to respond to non-broadcast commands. That is, there must be an odd number of logic "1"s from among RTAD-4-  
RTAD0 and RTADP.  
RT_AD_LAT (1)  
31 RT Address Latch. Input signal used to control the Enhanced MINI-ACE's internal RT address latch. If RT_AD_LAT is  
connected to logic "0", then the Enhanced Mini-ACE RT is configured to accept a hardwired (transparent) RT address  
from RTAD4-RTAD) and RTADP.  
If RT_AD_LAT is initially logic "0", and then transitions to logic "1", the values presented on RTAD4-RTAD0 and RTADP  
will be latched internally on the rising edge of RT_AD_LAT.  
If RT_AD_LAT is connected to logic "1", then the Enhanced Mini-ACE's RT address is latchable under host processor  
control. In this case, there are two possibilities: (1) If bit 5 of Configuration Register #6, RT ADDRESS SOURCE, is pro-  
grammed to logic "0" (default), then the source of the RT Address is the RTAD4-RTAD0 and RTADP input signals; (2) If  
RT ADDRESS SOURCE is programmed to logic "1", then the source of the RT Address is the lower 6 bits of the proces-  
sor data bus, D5-D1 (for RTAD4-0) and D0 (for RTADP).  
In either of these two cases (with RT_AD_LAT = "1"), the processor will cause the RT address to be latched by: (1) writ-  
ing bit 15 of Configuration Register #3, ENHANCED MODE, to logic "1"; (2) writing bit 3 of Configuration Register #4,  
LATCH RT ADDRESS WITH CONFIGURATION REGISTER #5, to logic "1"; and (3) writing to Configuration Register #5.  
In the case of RT ADDRESS SOURCE = "1", then the values of RT address and RT address parity must be written to  
the lower 6 bits of Configuration Register #5, via D5-D0. In the case where RT ADDRESS SOURCE = "0", the bit values  
presented on D5-D0 become "don't care" .

For BU-61864/61865, this pin is +5V-RAM and MUST be connected to +5V.  
For BU-61743(5) and 61843(5), this signal is used to control the function of the upper 4  
address inputs (A15-A12). For these versions of Enhanced Mini-ACE, if UPADDREN is  
connected to logic "1", then these four signals operate as address lines A15-A12.  
For BU-61843(5)/61743(5), if UPADDREN is connected to logic "0", then A15 and A14  
function as CLK_SEL_1 and CLK_SEL_0 respectively; A13 MUST be connected to Vcc-

In-command or Mode Code Reset. The function of this pin is controlled by bit 0 of  
Configuration Register #7, MODE CODE RESET/INCMD SELECT.  
If this register bit is logic "0" (default), INCMD will be active on this pin. For BC, RT, or  
Selective Message Monitor modes, INCMD is asserted low whenever a message is being  
processed by the Enhanced Mini-ACE. In Word Monitor mode, INCMD will be asserted  
low for as long as the monitor is online.  
For RT mode, if MODE CODE RESET/INCMD SELECT is programmed to logic "1",  
MCRST will be active. In this case, MCRST will be asserted low for two clock cycles fol-  
lowing receipt of a Reset remote terminal mode command.  
In BC or Monitor modes, if MODE CODE RESET/INCMD SELECT is logic "1", this signal  
is inoperative; i.e., in this case, it will always output a value of logic "1".  
INT (0)  
57  
57  
Interrupt Request output. If the LEVEL/PULSE interrupt bit (bit 3) of Configuration  
Register #2 is logic "0", a negative pulse of approximately 500ns in width is output on  
INT to signal an interrupt request.  
If LEVEL/PULSE is high, a low level interrupt request output will be asserted on INT. The  
level interrupt will be cleared (high) after either: (1) The processor writes a value of logic  
"1" to INTERRUPT RESET, bit 2 of the Start/Reset Register; or (2) If bit 4 of  
Configuration Register #2, INTERRUPT STATUS AUTO-CLEAR is logic "1", then it will  
only be necessary to read the Interrupt Status Register (#1 and/or #2) that is requesting  
an interrupt that has been enabled by the corresponding Interrupt Mask Register.  
However, for the case where both Interrupt Status Register #1 and Interrupt Status  
Register #2 have bits set reflecting interrupt events, it will be necessary to read both  
interrupt status registers in order to clear INT.

20 MHz, 16 MHz, 12 MHz, or 10 MHz clock input.  
Transmitter inhibit inputs for the Channel A and Channel B MIL-STD-1553 transmitters.  
For normal operation, these inputs should be connected to logic "0". To force a shutdown  
of Channel A and/or Channel B, a value of logic "1" should be applied to the respective  
TX_INH input.  
MSTCLR(1)

Master Clear. Negative true Reset input, normally asserted low following power turn-on.  
When coming out of a resetcondition, please note that the rise time of MSTCLR must  
be less than 10 µS.
