General Description
CT1508-2 is a hybrid microcircuit which incorporates a serial decoder in a single package. The encoder accepts a "N" Bit (Typically 4, 34 or 35) serial Manchester encoded TTL NRZ signals and outputs a 4 bit SIS / SOS TTL output along with "N" recovered data Bits/Clocks. Aeroflex Circuit Technology is a 80,000 square foot MIL-PRF-38534 certified facility in Plainview, N.Y.

Features
• Unique Manchester decoder requires no clock
• 4 Bit SIS / SOS output
• Operates with ±5 volt supply
• Removes sync, word identifier and parity bits
• Does both data and SIS / SOS decoding
• Detects parity on all received data
• Flags received messages with word lengths greater than 4 bits
• Accepts self-test inputs for BITE applications
• Generates one clock edge per received bit for bit counting applications
• May be used as a serial decoder for indefinite word lengths
• Interfaces directly to the CT1496-2 (Manchester Encoder) and CT1469-2 (Transceiver)
• MIL-PRF-38534 compliant devices available
