It features robust hardware with isolated transformers for noise immunity and supports programmable interrupts and data buffering. Connectivity is via standard PMC connector interfaces, enabling seamless real-time communication within avionics or defense systems. Typical applications include embedded aerospace data bus monitoring, control, and simulation in rugged, high-reliability environments. ## Function Provides three fully featured MIL-STD-1553 channels for integration within PMC carrier cards or single-board computers, enabling robust, real-time avionics data bus communication with protocol-compliant message handling, error detection, timing synchronization, and bus controller/remote terminal/monitor operational modes via PCI Mezzanine Card hardware; interfaces directly with MIL-STD-1553 discrete lines and supports integration into aerospace and defense embedded systems for command/control, telemetry, and inter-system data exchange applications. ## Platform VME, VPX, and CompactPCI single-board computer systems employing PMC mezzanine card sites for communication expansion. Interfaces with avionics systems implementing MIL-STD-1553 data bus architecture, including aircraft mission computers, flight control systems, weapons systems, and radar platforms. Integrates with test equipment, simulators, and data acquisition systems through PMC carriers. Compatible with real-time operating systems like VxWorks, Linux, and Windows, supporting integration with high-level software applications for avionics testing, simulation, and operational flight programs. ## Application Provides three independent MIL-STD-1553 bus interface channels for avionics data communication in military and aerospace systems. Supports bus controller, remote terminal, and bus monitor operations simultaneously across multiple redundant aircraft buses. Enables real-time command and control data exchange between flight management computers, navigation systems, weapon systems, and mission computers. Used in fighter aircraft, transport aircraft, helicopters, and ground-based test equipment requiring high-reliability deterministic data bus communications. Compatible with PMC mezzanine card slots on single board computers for embedded avionics applications. ## Accessories Requires host carrier (cPCI, VME, PCIe) or SBC with an IEEE 1386.1 PMC site. Front I/O: One 68-pin female VHDCI connector for three dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B channels. Bus Interface: Two 64-pin PMC connectors (P1/J1, P2/J2) for the 32-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI bus. Requires a breakout cable (VHDCI to tri-axial), AltaAPI software development kit, and external 1553 bus couplers and terminators for operation. ## Interface Three dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B channels with transformer isolation; PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) form factor with 32-bit PCI interface; 33/66 MHz PCI bus compatible; front panel I/O through 78-pin SCSI connector; supports all BC, RT, and MT protocols; direct memory access (DMA) capability; hardware time-tagging with 20ns resolution; onboard IRIG-B time synchronization input. ## Images - - - -
