Data Device Total-ACE terminal/transformer

Data Device has introduced the Total-ACE, a complete solution to MIL-STD-1553 applications.

It is the said to be the world’s first, fully integrated MIL-STD-1553 terminal and transformer combined into a single BGA package. The required isolation transformers (with ‘transformer coupled’ output ratios) are integrated within the plastic BGA package and the device is powered by 3.3 V.

Suitable for extended temperature range applications where PC board space is at a premium, the device is available in a 312-ball (24 x 13 matrix) BGA package and is rated for -40 to +100°C operation.

It is fully software and architecturally compatible with DDCs Enhanced Mini-ACE series of devices. It integrates dual transceivers, dual transformers, protocol engine and 4 K words of internal RAM. The flexible generic processor interface allows direct connection with little or no glue logic to a variety of 8, 16 and 32-bit processors.

Features include: generic processor interface; extended industrial temperature range: -40 to +100°C; DO-254 certifiable; 4 K X 16 RAM; fully integrated 1553A/B Notice 2, 1760; autonomous BC architecture; built-in controller with 20-instruction set; flexible RT buffering; selective message monitor with filtering; 50% rollover interrupts for stacks and circular buffers.
