Radiation-tolerant MIL-STD-1553 terminals

Data Device Corp. in Bohemia, N.Y., is offering prototype Space ACE II and Space RT II radiation-tolerant MIL-STD-1553 terminals. DDC launched the product when some of the radiation-tolerant ASICs in their Space ACE and Space RT devices were no longer available from their vendor. The original devices are in several satellite, space vehicle, and rockets. The BU-63825 Space ACE II series devices, which replace the original BU-61582 series terminals, are architecturally compatible with DDC’s ACE series of MIL-STD-1553 terminals and are usually used in systems that employ a processor. The Space ACE II can operate in BC, RT, and MT modes. The BU-63705 Space RT II series devices serve as a replacement to the BU-65142 series devices is an RT device designed to interface directly with system logic and doesn’t require a host processor. DDC is accepting orders for standard devices for delivery this year. For more information contact DDC online at www.ddc-web.com.
