Oct. 9, 2011
BOHEMIA, N.Y., 9 Oct. 2011. Data Device Corp. (DDC) in Bohemia, N.Y., is introducing the BU-67114Hx lightweight, low-power, small-form-factor MIL-STD-1553/1760 Mini-PCI Express card for small rugged embedded systems, portable laptops, and rugged tablet computers. The avionics interface card measures 30 by 50.95 millimeters and is available with one or two 1553/1760 channels. The BU-67114Hx uses DDC’s Total-AceXtreme architecture, which includes an autonomous bus controller (BC) with expanded instruction set, a multi-RT (Remote Terminal) interface providing a wide variety of buffering options, and a 1553 bus monitor (MT) that enables users to store data in an industry standard IRIG-106 Chapter 10 format.

The card is compatible with the DDC AceXtreme software API.

The Mini-PCI Express card is engineered with DDC’s Total-AceXtreme component. Total-AceXtreme is the most advanced MIL-STD-1553 ASIC technology ever created — delivering the world’s smallest size, lowest power, and high mean time between failures (MTBF) for this Mini-PCI Express card.

The card enables 1553 to be added to any system; is suitable for embedded and portable applications; has a common test and embedded API for rapid prototyping; and on-board DMA engine for low CPU use.
