Data Device Corp has a new MIL-STD-1553 PC/104 card that provides an enhanced bitrate (EBR) of 10Mbit/s.
The MIL-STD-1553 databus is widely used in much of the Western world's defence equipment and traditionally operated at up to 1Mbit/s.
The enhanced bit rate 1553, with its field-proven enhanced Mini-ACE 1553 core is a next-generation 10Mbit/s version of MIL-STD-1553, compliant with the SAE Miniature Munitions/Store Interface or MMSI standard.
"The enhanced bit rate 1553 specification is being developed to meet the need of munitions applications by enabling 1553 datarates of 10Mbit/s", said Mike Hegarty, a Product Marketing Manager with DDC's Data Networking Group.
The BU-65580, which is currently shipping, provides one channel of EBR-1553 in an industrial temperature rated PC/104 form factor.
According to Hegarty: "A huge benefit to our customers is software compatibility, code written for our MIL-STD-1553 libraries and will run with our EBR-1553 libraries.
This can decrease development costs, time to develop, as well as decrease risk".
The BU-65580 is based on DDC's field-tested ACE-core architecture, which has been implemented in a field programmable gate array.
The enhanced bit rate 1553 channel can be programmed for BC, RT, or RT/MT modes of operation.
The BU-65580 is compatible with earlier generation ACE and Mini-ACE (Plus) series software libraries, as well as DDC's powerful dataMARS/dataSIMS software.
Originally targeted as the Miniature Munitions/Store Interface, other applications for the BU-65580 include embedded avionics, flight computers, and avionics systems, as well as mission and weapons computers and radar systems.
