Compact PCI Cards for MIL-STD-1553 & ARINC 429
8 channels (cPCI) interface card or tester
Versatile cPCI card supporting multiple avionics interfaces (MIL-STD-1553 cPCI & ARINC-429 cPCI)
WB-194, MIL-STD-1553 cPCI, digital and avionics discrete I/Os, ARINC 429 card, RS-485, H009, and additional communication protocols.
cPCI HyperBoard is a cPCI card and compact PCI-compatible, multi-standard board that consists of up to 8 channels of cPCI 1553 communication capability.
It exhibits compatibility with protocols such as MIL-STD-1760 and MIL-STD-1553B. This allows individual configuration of its channels to integrate with H009 and WB194 in tandem with 1553 (with support for various other protocols as well).
Advanced Interface Options and High-Level Integration
The board includes four channels that can be configured with the following: RS-485/RS-422, IRIG-B, or ARINC 429 cPCI interface cards. It also includes eight avionics I/O ports and eight digital I/Os.
cPCI HyperBoard is software-compatible with DDC® Enhanced MiniACE® components and architecture.
mPCIe integration in demanding avionics environments. With 32K or 64K words of internal RAM per channel, our cPCI HyberBoard enables fast and easy integration with existing or new systems, which you can design for your customers.
This advanced cPCI interface platform is engineered for aerospace and defense applications requiring high reliability, low latency communication, and flexible protocol integration.
Simplified Application Development with Extensive Support
Understanding the challenges involved in avionics system development, the cPCI HyperBoard is complemented by inclusive software support. Equipped with drivers for both Windows and Linux and a high-level API, the board simplifies application development.
Additionally, Sital’s Luthier™ program for 1553 bus simulation, with its advanced GUI for bus simulation and analysis, allows for efficient control, traffic generation, and emulation of real bus environments. This smoothens the testing and integration process.
The platform supports rapid deployment of compact PCI avionics systems while reducing development complexity for integrators and OEMs.
