The Alta Data PCIC-MA4 is a Multi-Protocol PCIC Bus Card. Firstly, this product uses the 32-bit FPGA protocol engine technology (AltaCore) with AltaAPI multi layered software. This hardware and software package provides fast and portable integrations.
Secondly, the capability includes variable message/label framing/subframing with transmission scheduling provides the most advanced control operations. ARINC TX has complete frequency control per channel. RT and ARINC RX – Monitor, Playback and provide Signal Generator functions for the most demanding requirements.
Features of Multi-Protocol PCIC Bus Card PCIC-MA4 include:
- 1-5 Independent, Dual Redundant (A/B) MIL-STD-1553 Channels and 8 ARINC Channels on PCI Carrier
- PMC on PCI 32 Carrier Configuration
- Dual Function 1553 (BC/Mon or mRT/Mon) or Full Function (BC/mRT/Mon)
- ARINC – 8 Channels Total:4 Shared TX/RX & 4 Dedicated RX; 512 Kbyte of RAM for all Channels/Banks
- 512 Kbyte RAM per 1553 Channel and ARINC Channels
