Part Number: 340006500205 ## Overview Digital PCM telemetry decommutator performing frame synchronization, bit stream decoding, and data extraction from serial PCM streams at rates up to 50 Mbps. Operates on standard PCI bus architecture within PC-based ground station systems. Interfaces include TTL/RS-422 differential inputs, BNC connectors for clock/data signals, and software API for host communication. Supports IRIG-106 standards with programmable frame formats, word lengths 4-32 bits, and subframe/superframe structures. Provides real-time decommutation, EU conversion, and data distribution to multiple client applications. Common applications include satellite telemetry processing, flight test data reduction, missile range operations, and aerospace vehicle health monitoring systems. ## Function Multi-function PCM decommutator card providing real-time telemetry data extraction and processing. Performs frame synchronization, bit synchronization, and decommutation of PCM streams up to 40 Mbps. Features programmable frame formats, subframe/superframe handling, and embedded asynchronous data extraction. Interfaces via 32-bit PCI bus with TTL, RS-422, and LVDS input options. Includes IRIG time code decoding, EU conversion capabilities, and hardware CRC checking. Supports multiple simultaneous virtual channels with independent decommutation parameters. Applications include aerospace telemetry ground stations, flight test data acquisition, satellite communication systems, and range safety monitoring. ## Platform A PCI bus-compatible add-in card designed for real-time PCM telemetry decommutation, including minor/major frame synchronization, data extraction, and time-tagging. It accepts various PCM input codes and data rates via dedicated physical interfaces. Processed telemetry parameters, status, and associated time data are transferred to host CPU memory via the PCI bus, accessible through a driver API. Common applications include ground station telemetry processing, flight test data acquisition, and aerospace data analysis. ## Application PCM data stream analysis, telemetry signal processing, real-time data extraction and processing, data handling for aerospace and defense applications, integration within telemetry ground stations, support for multiple data formats, interfacing with other telemetry processing modules or software, and enhancing mission analysis capabilities in flight test telemetry. ## Accessories Requires host computer with available PCI slot. Uses standard PCI edge connector interface. Front panel includes BNC connectors for PCM input, clock input/output, and sync signals. DB-25 connector for parallel data output. DB-9 connector for RS-232 serial control interface. LED indicators for power, sync lock, and data activity. Optional external clock source or internal clock generator selectable via jumpers. Supports TTL and RS-422 signal levels. Requires +5V from PCI bus. Compatible with Windows drivers and API libraries for data acquisition and decommutation control. ## Interface PCI bus connector 32-bit 5V with 120 pins, RS-232 serial port 9-pin D-sub male for configuration, BNC coaxial connectors for PCM data input and bit clock input, SMA connectors for word sync and frame sync signals, 50-ohm impedance matching, supports NRZ-L and Bi-phase data formats, requires PCI-compatible host computer with available expansion slot ## Images - - - -
