Bohemia, New York (Oct - 2009) — Data Device Corporation (DDC), the world leader in the design and manufacture of high-reliability data interface products for aerospace, defense, and industrial automation applications, announces the release of the new SB-36341/2CX-2A0N digital to synchro/resolver PC-104 transformer cards. “This card will offer designers a solution for true magnetic isolation in 90V 400Hz synchro applications, which is often a requirement in naval applications,” stated DDC’s Product Manager, Roger Tomassi. The transformer card is ruggedized with a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is conformal coated. The SB-36341/2CX-2A0N series cards will connect with the SB-36320 PC-104 series synchro output cards.

Bohemia, New York (July - 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC), an international leading supplier of high-reliability MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 data bus products, is pleased to announce that Advanced Digital Logic (ADL) has partnered with and recommends DDC for PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 cards for use in applications that require MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC 429 interfaces.

Bohemia, New York (May, 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces ARINC 575 support for DDC’s new ARINC 429 products including PMC, PC/104-Plus, and PCI-104 cards, featuring various ARINC 429 receive and transmit channel counts. The addition of programmable ARINC 575 support for each ARINC 429 channel on the cards allows for compatibility with legacy systems.

Bohemia, New York (April, 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) announces the release of the new SB-36320 Digital-to-Synchro/Resolver PC/104 card. The card features two output channels with opto-isolated discrete I/O for external control functions. “This output card compliments DDC’s four channel SB-36310CX series PC/104 card for a complete stackable input/output solution in PC/104 form factor”, stated DDC’s Product Manager, Roger Tomassi. The SB-36320CX offers accuracies to 1 arc minute at 16 bit resolution, and output power to 15ma. A ruggedized version is available with a temperature range of —40° to +85°C.

Bohemia, New York (April 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) announces an Enhanced LabVIEW support package for MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 data bus applications that use the National Instruments’ LabVIEW Graphical Programming Platform. Supporting DDC’s latest 1553 and 429 board offerings, the BU-69093 LabVIEW package provides three different levels of Virtual Instruments (VI’s) to accomplish simple or complex tasks with ease. The package consists of front panels, block diagrams, connector panels, and user samples to enable the user to get up and running quickly.

Bohemia, New York (March, 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) has introduced an updated Software Development Kit (SDK) for MIL-STD-1553 data bus applications that supports Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Vista® for use with the MIL-STD-1553 BU-65569i PCI Card.  DDC’s SDK allows users to develop “C” source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 data buses simultaneously or independently.  This SDK allows you to quickly integrate DDC’s MIL-STD-1553 PCI card into your “C” code applications.  The easy-to-use high-level functions abstract all low-level hardware accesses and memory allocation such that specific hardware knowledge is not required.

Bohemia, New York (February 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces exciting new 1553/429 test and simulation products including a four channel MIL-STD-1553 PCI Express card ( BU-67106K ), and updated Multi-I/O MIL-STD-1553 / ARINC 429  USB Avionics Devices ( BU-67102/3U ).

Bohemia, New York (January 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) now offers a line of MIL-STD-1553 components that are certifiable to DO-254 level A. The DO-254 standard provides guidelines for design assurance of airborne electronic hardware and calls out objectives that must be met by avionics equipment manufacturers to ensure continued airworthiness. DO-254 certification is required for all civil airborne electronic hardware, and, though not strictly mandated for military aircraft, military contractors are finding DO-254 increasingly important for military aircraft that must fly through civil airspace, as well as in the growing use of military avionics and data buses in commercial aircraft.
 
DDC offers DO-254 certifiable MIL-STD-1553 interfaces, such as the ACE family of products which have extensive in-service history, and that are supported by detailed documentation packages, as well as DDC’s proven performance, experience, and reliability. For MIL-STD-1553 components, DDC can supply a documentation package that provides data specific to the aspects of certification in accordance with RTCA/DO-254 Level A. DDC’s ACE family of products has logged over 22 million estimated flight hours within over 1000 unique designs, and is an example of the qualification data provided.

Bohemia, New York (January 2009) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces the world’s first fully integrated 1553 terminal, the Total-ACE™, consolidating all the necessary MIL-STD-1553 components within a single, small, cost-effective PBGA package. The BU-64843T Total-ACE™ comprises a complete interface between a host computer and a MIL-STD-1553 bus that simplifies design, procurement, and qualification processes.
