SBS Avionics Technologies introduces its new, enhanced ABI-PMC and ASF-PMC. Ideal for embedded avionics applications, both products provide flexible, full function or single function MIL-STD-1553 interfaces in a PCI Mezzanine Card.
"The new ABI-PMC and ASF-PMC are logical additions to the SBS Avionics family of MIL-STD-1553 interface products," said Rich Wade, General Manager of SBS Avionics Technologies. "PMC has gained popularity and market share over the past year. We respond to customer demand by offering products that designers of embedded avionics systems require. These products enhance SBS' offering of the most advanced avionics commercial-off-the-shelf modules for ISA, PC/104, PCMCIA, PCI, PMC, CompactPCI, and VMEbus systems."
How it Works
The new ABI-PMC and ASF-PMC interfaces provide flexible, full function or single function MIL-STD-1553 interfaces to PMC systems. The primary enhancement to the product is the ability to operate with the 16PP362 F16 Advanced Weapons Multiplex Data Bus, accepting MIL-STD-1553 traffic while ignoring WMUX-362 traffic. Additionally, the PCI interface has been improved to support configuration for hardware byte-reordering.
The ABI-PMC provides concurrent and independent operation of a Bus Controller (BC), 31 Remote Terminals (RT), and sequential and/or mapped Bus Monitoring (BM). The ASF-PMC provides similar capability in a single-function mode BC or a single RT or Monitoring. These products offer a complete 1553 interface, including 1553A and/or 1553B selections, programmable BC frame lists, BC scheduling capabilities, RT response tables, pointer driven transmit and receive buffers, mapped monitoring, sequential bus monitoring, and extensive programmable event interrupts.
