AXCX1553-xT

General Features
The AXCX1553-xT is a member of AIM’s new family of PCI Express based XMC-Mezzanine (ANSI/VITA 42.3) modules targeted to embedded MIL-STD-1553 applications. The AXCX1553-xT offers programmable Bus Coupling, an onboard Bus Network and variable output amplitude to the MIL-STD-1553A/B bus.

• Concurrently acts as Bus Controller, Multiple Remote Terminals (31) and Chronological/Mailbox Bus Monitor
• Physical Replay capability- electrically reconstruct and replay previously recorded MIL-STD-1553A/B record files physically to the
  MIL-STD-1553A/B bus with excellent timing accuracy
• Versions with reduced functionality (Single Function or Simulator Only) are available as well as extended temperature range variants
• Capability to handle 8 General Purpose Discrete I/O (GPIO) signals and also offer Trigger-I/O
• Designed to be installed on either a carrier board to adapt to buses (like standard PCI/PCIe, VME/VPX or cPCIe) or on an embedded
  host computer

Common Core Hardware Design
The AXCX1553-xT modules use AIM’s ‘Common Core’ hardware design utilizing FPGA technology combined with multiple built-in softcore processors to support MIL-STD-1553 bus protocol handling for precise scheduling of simulated messages acting as a Bus Controller and/or as multiple Remote Terminals as well as timestamping of received messages with 1µs resolution for Bus Monitor operation.

Board Software Package – Optional Analyzer Software/Test Plan Software
Full function driver software is delivered with the AXCX1553-xT cards in comprehensive Board Software Packages (BSP’s) for different Operating Systems.
The optional PBA.pro™ Databus Test and Analysis Tool (for Windows and Linux) can also be purchased for use with AXCX1553-xT modules.
