PCI Enhanced Mini-ACE®

Description:

The PCI Enhanced Mini-ACE® MIL-STD-1553 series is the industry's first fully integrated solution for interfacing a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus with a MIL-STD-1553 bus. A distinct improvement over multi-component implementations, the PCI Enhanced Mini-ACE reduces real estate and power requirements while eliminating the need for custom FPGA logic by providing a direct interface to embedded PCI buses. To accelerate host write operations, the interface incorporates a built-in FIFO that enables a PCI master to transfer a 32-word 1553 message in approximately 1.5 µs.

Advanced architecture is the key to the series' high performance. Advanced bus controller architecture gives the PCI Enhanced Mini-ACE a high degree of flexibility and autonomy. This creates advantages in a number of areas: improving message scheduling control; minimizing host overhead for asynchronous message insertion; and facilitating bulk data transfers and double buffering, message retry and bus switching strategies, and data logging and fault reporting. In addition, its remote terminal architecture provides flexibility in meeting all common MIL-STD-1553 protocols. RT data buffering and interrupt options offer robust support for synchronous and asynchronous messaging, ensure data sample consistency, and support bulk data transfers.
