Rugged SOSA aligned SBC for Defense and aerospace systems
Key Features
Dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B bus interfaces (A/B channels)
MIL-1553 protocol controller on-board for BC/RT/MT roles
Additional serial communication controllers (SCC) for UART or synchronous links
PCI 2.2 33 MHz interface to host for command and data handling
Transformer-coupled 1553 transceivers for robust signal integrity
Front-panel twinax connectors or rear I/O for 1553 bus connection
Conduction-cooled option with conformal coating for humidity protection
Software support for 1553 (API library) on VxWorks, Linux, etc.
Overview
- It enables embedded systems to communicate with military avionics and weapons interfaces over 1553 buses, offloading protocol handling from the host.
- The module is ideal for integrating legacy military communication buses into modern mission systems and supports harsh operational environments.
