Functions

Provides a single, dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B interface on a PMC form factor for embedded systems. The card supports concurrent Bus Controller (BC), up to 31 Remote Terminals (RT), and a sequential Bus Monitor (BM) operation. It utilizes a high-performance DMA engine for efficient PCI bus data transfers, extensive message buffering, and advanced API-driven functions for protocol validation, message scheduling, data reconstruction, and real-time monitoring. The physical interface supports both transformer and direct coupling for avionics test, simulation, and mission system integration.

Platforms

A PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) designed for integration into host carrier boards (VME, cPCI, PCIe) or Single Board Computers (SBCs) with a standard PMC site. The card interfaces with the host system via a 32-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI bus. It operates with a software development kit supporting multiple real-time and non-real-time operating systems including Windows, Linux, and VxWorks, enabling deployment in embedded, lab, and test environments.

Applications

The PMC-1553-1D-T provides a single-channel MIL-STD-1553 interface for data bus communication. It operates on a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) form factor, compatible with carrier cards or Single Board Computers (SBCs). The interface supports Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, and Bus Monitor modes, facilitating data exchange and analysis in aerospace and defense systems, including flight control, avionics, and weapons systems.

Accessories

Requires PMC carrier card or single board computer with PMC slot for installation. D-sub 26-pin male connector provides MIL-STD-1553 bus interface with transformer coupling. Requires external MIL-STD-1553 stub cables with appropriate termination resistors. Compatible with PMC 2.2 specification requiring 5V and 3.3V power rails from carrier. May require EMI/RFI shielding brackets depending on chassis configuration. Software driver package and API libraries needed for host operating system integration.

Interfaces

Single-channel MIL-STD-1553 interface on PMC form factor; dual function supporting Bus Controller/Monitor (BC/Mon) or remote Terminal/Monitor (mRT/Mon) modes; dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 A/B inputs/outputs; 32-bit PCI 33/66 MHz PCI-X compatible bus interface; use of 44-pin J4 connector for 1553 bus interface signals; operates with AltaAPI software providing multi-layer control, time tagging (64-bit, 20 ns resolution), interrupt and trigger support; optional extended temperature and conduction cooled configurations available.

Specifications

The PMC-1553-1D-T provides a single-channel, dual-function MIL-STD-1553 interface for PMC-compliant carriers and Single Board Computers (SBCs). It offers selectable BC, RT, and BM modes. The device connects via the PMC P14 connector for I/O, with Ethernet for configuration and control. Common applications include avionics, military systems, and data acquisition systems.
