MIL-STD-1553 IP Cores and COTS Adapters

DELIVER HIGH-SPEED DATA WITH ACCURACY — EVERY TIME

MIL-STD-1553 is a widely used serial communications bus for military and avionic applications. Sealevel offers an alternative for implementing 1553 using software IP cores integrated into FPGA devices. IP cores can provide substantial advantages over standard

1553 ICs including:

 

Reduced Cost

IP core technology including the use-license can deliver more than 50% cost reduction in 1553 node price for moderate quantities.

 

Easy Ability to Upgrade

Since FPGAs can be reprogrammed, the 1553 functionality can be enhanced, modified or replaced by a new IP core if required.

 

Small Footprint Saves Board Space

IP cores can fit into FPGAs already included in a design and the analog transceiver is much smaller than a dedicated 1553 IC.

 

Easy Evaluation

Using tools like ModelSim, the entire functionality can be evaluated and simulated before a single trace is routed for the PCB.

 

Supports Long Product Life Cycle

IP cores are not FPGA specific and the core can be moved to a different FPGA part in the event of obsolescence or supply chain issues.

 

MIL-STD-1553 COTS Expansion

 

PMC

The BRD1553PMC board provides up to eight communications channels compatible with MIL-STD-1553B and MIL-STD-1760. Each channel can be configured independently to work with H009 and

WB-194 in conjunction with MIL-STD-1553.

 

 

PCI

Choose either 1 or 2 channel MIL-STD-1553 model configurable as Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) and Monitor (MT).

 

 

PC/104+

Add two channels of MIL-STD-1553B to the PC/104+ stack. Each channel can be configured independently to work with H009 and WB-194.

 

 

CompactPCI/PXI

The BRD1553cPCI provides up to eight channels of MIL-STD-1553B communications and also includes eight generic I/O pins that can be used as RS-422, RS-485 or ARINC-429 (2 transmit and 2 receive channels).

 

 

VME

Add 4 or 8 channels of MIL-STD-1553B to your VME system. Each channel is individually configurable as Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) and Monitor (MT).

 

 

Software

All MIL-STD-1553 boards are software compatible with DDC® Enhanced Mini-ACE® components and architecture and are provided with drivers for Microsoft® Windows® and Linux.
