Kit to interface radiation-hardened transceiver with MIL-STD-1553 databus in satellites introduced by Holt
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. – Holt Integrated Circuits in Aliso Viejo, Calif., is introducing the ADK-1592 development kit to interface Holt's HI-1592 radiation-hardened transceiver with a MIL-STD-1553 protocol controller or field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
The development kit is for launch vehicles, high-altitude aircraft, and low-orbit satellites that use MIL-STD-1553 databus communications.
The HI-1592 is latchup-immune and proven to withstand a single-event upset (SEU) with an LET of at least 67.7 MeV-cm2/mg, and is radiation tolerant to a total ionizing dose (TID) of 100 krad(Si).
The kit features 1.8-, 2.5-, and 3.3-volt compatible digital I/O to interface with a broad range of FPGAs and controllers. The development kit connects to an external MIL-STD-1553 databus controller board via an industry standard PMOD port.
This port connects the controller digital transmit and receive signals needed to interface the transceiver with a MIL-STD-1553 bus. An alternative connector is available which provides access to additional digital transceiver signals, such as Rx Enable and Tx Inhibit.
The kit ships with DIP switches set for PMOD port use by default. The transceiver board loops back the digital transmit signals to the controller and connects to a MIL-STD-1553 bus for direct or transformer-coupled configurations via the on-board triaxial bus connectors.
