MIL-STD-1553C
NOTE: This document was released by the USAF in February 2018 as a cleaned-up PDF version to the 1978 1553B standard with a single addition reference of MIL-STD-464. Besides this reference for system EMC specifications, 1553C = 1553B, and 1553B (or just 1553) will be used as the most common designation in Alta documents. We recommend MIL-HDBK-1553A as the best source for 1553 designs and testing.
MIL-STD-1553 has had a long, popular life – and will continue to be supported for decades to come in new and legacy applications. Alta engineers and managers have been in the avionics industry since the early 1980’s and have worked on nearly every major avionics program.
The links to the right provide some of the most useful 1553 references – the same references we use in our product development and support. The MIL-STD-1553 Tutorial and Reference (74870 downloads ) is a summary of the standard and critical aspects in development of a 1553 computer (this document is ideal for quick reference for design and programming). We don’t bother to repeat the detailed parts of the standard because the MIL-STD-1553B Notices (35883 downloads ) and MIL HDBK 1553A Notice II (34299 downloads ) are the best resources. The SAE is the governing body of the 1553 standard and the current versions are copyright controlled under “AS15531” titles.
Our AltaView and AltaRTVal products offer the best tools for debugging and validating your 1553 system. If you require more information, please contact us. If you need detailed test and training support, the best source in the world is Leroy Earhart of Test Systems, Inc of AZ, USA. www.testsystems.com.
