Conduction Cooled Ruggedized 1553 VME Card

Excalibur Systems, Inc., has released the latest card in its MIL-STD-1553 Px family. The EXC-1553ccVME/Px is a multi-channel (up to 16) MIL-STD-1553A/B interface board for conduction cooled VME systems. It has up to 16 fully independent, dual redundant 1553 channels, each of which can operate simultaneously as a Bus Controller, as up to 32 Remote Terminals, and as a Triggerable Monitor. Additionally, the card supports extensive error injection and detection capabilities, and an internal loop back, which requires no external cabling.

The card has an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC, and can be ordered with conformal coating. It is supplied with C drivers, including source code, and Merlin+ Windows software.

The EXC-1553ccVME/Px is designed for rugged embedded applications, especially those requiring operation in a sealed, conduction cooled, extended temperature environment. Its high channel count, onboard self-test and loopback capability make it the ideal choice for today’s demanding embedded applications.
