MIL-STD-1553 Bus Description

MIL-STD-1553 is a DOD Military (MIL) Standard (STD), which defines both the Mechanical, Electrical, and Functional characteristics. MIL 1553 uses a Balanced (Differential) interface. The interface is dual redundant with between 2 and 32 interface devices on the bus.

The multiplex data bus system shall function asynchronously in a command /response mode, and transmission shall occur in a half-duplex manner.
The information flow on the data bus shall be comprised of messages which are, in turn, formed by three types of words (command, data, and status).
The most significant bit shall be transmitted first with the least significant bits following in descending order of value in the data word.
The data code shall be Manchester II bi-phase level. A logic one shall be transmitted as a bipolar coded signal 1/0 (i.e., a positive pulse followed by a negative pulse). A logic zero shall be a bipolar coded signal 0/1 (i.e., a negative pulse followed by a positive pulse). A transition through zero occurs at the midpoint of each bit time..
The transmission bit rate on the bus shall be 1.0 megabit per second with a combined accuracy and long-term stability of ± 0.1 percent (i.e., ±1000 hertz (Hz)).
The word size shall be 16 bits plus the sync waveform and the parity bit for a total of 20 bits times..
The nominal characteristic impedance of the cable (Z0) shall be within the range of 70.0 ohms to 85.0 ohms at a sinusoidal frequency of 1.0 megahertz (MHz). The Mil-1553 interface may be Transformer coupled [Schematic Diagram].

NATO calls MIL-STD-1553B: STANAG 3838AVS;, the UK calls it DEF STAN 00-18. Now controlled by the SAE as AS15531, and re-released by NATO as STANAG 7155.
STANAG 3910; A derivation of MIL-1553 (like MIL-1773 ?) used in NATO / UK. Operates at 100Mb/s over fiber.
ARINC 629; Another derivation of MIL-1553 used by commercial aircraft. Yet another was ARINC 453.
MMSI: Miniature Mission Stores Interface. 2-wire, 10Mbps 1553 protocol transmitted using RS-485 transceiver(s). Also called Enhanced Bit Rate 1553 (EBR-1553). MMSI / EBR

SAE AS5652; 10Mbps, Multi-drop

MIL-1553 Connector Vendors

MlL-STD-1553B does not specify the type of connector used to interconnect cables that make up a network. Notice 2, paragraph 30.10.3, however, specifies that, for applications that use concentric connectors or inserts for each bus [Pin Out info]: the center pin of the connector or insert shall be used for the high (positive) Manchester hi-phase signal. The inner ring shall be used for the low (negative) Manchester hi-phase signal. There are currently two types of connectors in general use.
1: a multi-pin connector that comes in various styles including circular, rectangular, and rack and panel.
2: is the discrete concentric triaxial design.
