DDC BU-65550M2-602 MIL-STD-1553 BC/RT/MT Interface Card

The DDC BU-65550/65551/65552 Series MIL-STD-1553 BC/RT?MT Interface Cards provide full, intelligent interfacing between a dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus and a PCMCIA socket. Software controls these cards operation as either a 1553 Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or Bus Monitor (MT). The BU-65552, BU-65551 and BU-65550 are packaged in a Type II PCMCIA PC Card. The BU-65552 is designed around the Mini-ACE Plus, which has backward compatibility to the BU61586 and provides 64k x 16 onboard shared RAM. The The BU-65552, BU65551 and BU-65550 feature DDC's BU-61586 Advanced Communication Engine (ACE). As such, it includes dual transceiver and encoder/decoder, complete 1553 protocol, shared RAM and memory management logic for all three modes. On-board Interrupt Mask and Interrupt Status Registers support flexible operation for both interrupt and polling applications. The memory management scheme for RT mode provides an option for separation of broadcast data plus a circular buffer option for individual RT sub-addresses to offload the host CPU.The PCMCIA interface includes 256 bytes of attribute memory as well as the four standard PCMCIA card configuration registers. Additional features include a wrap-around Built-In-Test, and software programmable RT address selection. Free C Runtime Library and comprehensive Menu Applications for DOS, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. These cards support all dual redundant mode codes and message formats. Additionally, these cards allow the use of commercial off-the-shelf or ruggedized laptop and notebook computers in applications requiring a MIL-STD-1553 interface. Full compliance with both MIL-STD1553 and PCMCIA 2.10 make the BU-65552, BU-65551 and BU-65550 an excellent choice for real-time simulation, test, and system integration applications.
