The TOTAL OCTAVA Series: Compatible with DDC’s® TOTAL-ACE™

The OCTAVA Series: Compatible with DDC’s® Mini-ACE™

Secure Drop-In Replacements for DDC® 1553 Components

The OCTAVA and Minuet set the standard for 1553 component solutions for defense,offering electrical and mechanical compatibility with DDC’s® renowned Mini-ACE™ and Enhanced Mini-ACE™ models. Integrating Sital’s low-power MIL-STD-1553 transceiver technology, these components ensure smooth integration and operational efficiency.

TOTAL OCTAVA Integrated 1553 Component with Built-In Memory

TOTAL OCTAVA, OCTAVA, and Minuet boast comprehensive hardware/software interface compatibility. They encompass register bit definitions, interrupts, memory data structures, and more, ensuring a smooth transition for developers accustomed to DDC 1553’s framework. Whether it be 1553 BC/RT/MT Sital has the safest solution.

Second Source devices Form Fit and Function replacements. Software compatible with the added benefit of BC Firewall included!

The Total-OCTAVA™ devices integrate a full solution on a 312-ball Plastic BGA (Ball Grid Array) package. That package integrates:

BC/RT/Monitor or RT-only MIL-STD-1553B protocol engine.
Memory management, processor interface logic (4K or 64K words of RAM).
Dual 1553 transceiver and dual transformer.

The Total-OCTAVA™ is a pin-to-pin replacement for DDC’s® BU-64863T8 Total-ACE®, providing electrical, mechanical, and architectural compatibility.

For all our components, Sital also offers its API/library/driver software for VxWorks, Linux, and Windows. These drivers provide API-level compatibility with DDC’s AceXtremeME library.

In addition to Mini-ACE and Enhanced Mini-ACE, Sital is able to second source most DDC component solutions, including ACE, Mini-ACE Mark3, Micro-ACE, Micro-ACE TE, and Total-ACE.

Cyber Security with SnS Technology

For all of its integrated 1553 terminals, Sital offers the add-on option for its patented Safe and secure (SnS) technology:

SnS provides the capability to detect and reject received messages from unauthorized transmitting BCs or RTs in real-time and also to detect and locate intermittent or continuous open or short circuit wire faults on 1553 buses, stubs, cables, couplers, terminators, or connected LRUs.
