DDC BU-65590C Multi-I/O Avionics PC/104-Plus Card

The DDC BU-65590C Multi-I/O Avionics PC/104-Plus Card provides flexibility for systems interfacing to a MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC 429 data bus. There are up to 2 dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels operating in BC, RT, MT, or combined RT/MT modes. Sixteen ARINC 429 receive and eight ARINC 429 transmit channels operate in high/low speed with automatic slew rate adjustment. The card also contains up to nine digital discrete I/O, eight +35V Avionics Discrete I/O, an IRIG-B time code input, an IRIG-B time code generator, a clock time stamp input and a clock output. The combination of multiple I/Os on one card saves valuable PC/104-Plus space, shortening the height of the stack to fit inside of small spaces.

Each 1553 channel uses DDCs Extended Enhanced Mini-ACE (E2MA) architecture which is fully backwards API compatible with DDCs industry standard, field proven, Enhanced Mini-ACE. The card includes the MIL-STD-1553 Enhanced Mini-ACE PLUS C Software Development Kit (SDK) and the ARINC 429 Multi-I/O C SDK with drivers for VxWorks, Linux, and Windows 2000/XP. These SDKs allow you to quickly integrate DDCs 1553 and 429 cards into your C source code applications. A common SDK exists across all operating systems allowing the programmer portability across different platforms. The easy-to-use high level functions abstract all low level hardware accesses and memory allocation such that specific hardware knowledge is not required.
