The ACE Flex-Core’s remote terminal (RT) architecture provides flexibility in meeting all common MIL-STD-1553 protocols, and provides built-in self tests for protocol, transceivers, and RAM. The choice of RT data buffering and interrupt options provides robust support for synchronous and asynchronous messaging, while ensuring data sample consistency and supporting bulk data transfers. The Flex-Core message monitor (and combined RT/Monitor) enables true message monitoring, with filtering on an RT address/T-R bit/subaddress basis. The ACE Flex-Core supports interfacing to either 16-bit or 32-bit local microprocessor buses with support for SoC interface to other cores, or alternately functions as a PCI target controller. The PCI core interface takes advantage of popular Xilinx® PCI core technology, providing support for burst read and write capability as well as a DMA transfer mechanism which may be initiated under host control. The ACE Flex-Core is software compatible with its ACE, Mini-ACE® and Enhanced Mini-ACE predecessors, and its highly scalable modular design enables designers to take advantage of DDC’s most powerful features while keeping gate count requirements to a minimum by using only the Flex-Core modules required for specific applications.
