BOHEMIA, N.Y., 8 Sept. 2008.Data Device Corp. (DDC) in Bohemia, N.Y., is introducing a multi-I/O combination MIL-STD-1553/Arinc 429advanced mezzanine card (AMC).
The BU-65590A AMC is for naval applications, flight data recorders, ground vehicles, and other embedded systems that require an AMC. The card has a PCI-E back end interface and provides front panel I/O using a rugged micro-miniature D connector.
The module provides as many as four dual-redundant 1553 channels operating in BC, RT, MT, or RT/MT modes; eight ARINC 429 receive channels; four ARINC 429 transmit channels; six user programmable digital discrete I/Os; two RS-232 serial I/O channels; two RS-422/485 serial I/O channels; and an IRIG-B time synchronization input.
Each 1553 channel supports 1 megabyte RAM with parity per 1553 channel, 48-bit/1-microsecond time tag, and built-in self-test. An intelligent hardware offload engine provides low host CPU use while storing 1553 monitor data in an IRIG-106 Chapter 10 format, commonly used for digital flight data recorders.
The card comes with software-development kits to help develop C source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 and/or 429 data buses simultaneously or independently with support for operating system like VxWorks 6, Linux 2.6, and Windows 2000/XP.
