Physical I/O Interface on Front and Rear-I/OMIL-STD-1553Stream 1General FeaturesThe AMCX1553 full function version concurrently acts as Bus Controller, MultipleRemote Terminals (31) and Chronological/Mailbox Bus Monitor. Versions with reducedfunctionality (Single Function or SimulatorOnly) are available as well as extendedtemperature range variants. All AMCX1553cards have the capability to handle8 General Purpose Discrete I/O (GPIO) signalsand also offer Trigger I/O. With the providedonboard flash memory the componentsboot up autonomously after power up.A full range of MIL-STD-1553 protocolerrors can be injected/detected.The AMCX1553 modules can electricallyreconstruct and replay previously recordedMIL-STD-1553A/B record files physically tothe MIL-STD-1553A/B bus with excellenttiming accuracy. The AMCX1553-n offers aninterface for 1, 2 or 4 dual redundant busstreams, the AMCX1553nT provides 1 or2 dual redundant bus streams.The AMCX1553 modules are designedto be installed on either a carrier boardto adapt to buses like standard PCI/PCIe, VME/VPX or CPCIe or on anembedded host computer. An onboardIRIG-B time encoder/decoder is includedwith sinusoidal output and free-wheelingmode for time tag synchronization on systemlevel using 1 or more AMCX1553 cards.The Physical Bus Interface (PBI) on theAMCX1553-1/2/4 modules provides transformer bus coupling (direct couplingavailable on request) and fixed outputamplitude to the MIL-STD-1553A/B bus.The AMCX1553-1T/2T modules provideprogrammable Bus Coupling, an onboardBus Network and variable outputamplitude to the MIL-STD-1553A/B bus.Stream 1MIL-STD-1553TransceiverStream 2MIL-STD-1553TransceiverSystem-FPGA1553 BIURISC ProcessorMIL-STD-1553Encoder/DecoderGlobal RAMIRIG-B TimeCode ProcessorBoot-Up FlashPCIe Interface1553 BIURISC ProcessorPCIe to PCI BridgePCI BusAMCX1553-1T-2T Block DiagramPhysical I/O Interface on Front and Rear-I/OMIL-STD-1553Stream 1/2Stream 1MIL-STD-1553TransceiverGeneral I/OStream 2MIL-STD-1553TransceiverMIL-STD-1553Stream 3/4Stream 3MIL-STD-1553TransceiverStream 4MIL-STD-1553TransceiverSystem-FPGA1553 BIURISC ProcessorMIL-STD-1553Encoder/DecoderGlobal RAMIRIG-B TimeCode ProcessorBoot-Up FlashPCIe InterfaceFull function driver software is deliveredwith the AMCX1553 cards in comprehensiveBoard Software Packages (BSP’s) fordifferent operating systems.The optional PBA.pro Databus Testand Analysis Tool (for Windows and Linux)can also be purchased for use withAMCX1553 modules.MIL-STD-1553Stream 2General I/OPCIe to PCI BridgePCI BusAMCX1553-1/2/4 Block Diagram1553 BIURISC Processor

Bus ControllerThe AMCX1553 modules provide realtime Bus Controller functions on eachindependent, Dual RedundantMIL-STD-1553A/B Databus stream,concurrently with Multiple RT andChronological Bus Monitor operation.The 400MHz RISC processor providestrue simulation of BC operations,without host computer interaction.Key Features of the Bus Controller Modeinclude: Autonomous Operation includingSequencing of multiple Minor andMajor Frames Support for Acyclic Message Insertion/Deletion Programmable BC Retry without HostInteraction Full Error Injection down to Word andBit Level (AS4112 compliant) Multi-Buffering with Real Time DataBuffer Updates Synchronization of BC Operation toexternal Trigger InputsMultiple Remote TerminalThe AMCX1553 modules simulate up to31 Remote Terminals, including all subaddresses on each MIL-STD-1553A/Bstream, concurrently with BC andChronological Monitor operation.Alternatively each of the 31 RT’s can operatein message orientated Mailbox MonitorMode to monitor Non-Simulated RT’s.Key Features of the Remote TerminalSimulation Mode include: Programmable Response Time for eachsimulated RT Programmable and intelligent Responseto Mode Codes Full Error Injection down to Word and BitLevel Multi-Buffering with Real Time Data BufferUpdatesChronological Bus MonitorThe AMCX1553 modules provide full busmonitoring and analysis with time taggingof all bus traffic to 1µs resolution includingresponse time and gap time measurementdown to 250ns concurrently with BC andMulti-RT operation.Key Features of the Chronological BusMonitor: 100% Data Capture on 1 Stream at fullBus Rates Autonomous Message Synchronizationand Full Error Detection 2 Dynamic Complex Trigger withSequencing Message Filter and Selective Capture Bus Activity Recording independent fromTrigger and Capture Mode External Trigger Outputs Programmable Response Time-OutPhysical Bus ReplayThe AMCX1553 modules can electricallyreconstruct and replay previously recordedMIL-STD-1553A/B record files physicallyto the MIL-STD-1553A/B bus with excellenttiming accuracy. Record files can beselected for Bus Replay.The additional capability to disable any orall RT responses from the MIL-STD-1553A/Breplay enables smart systems integrationand test to be performed.Physical Bus InterfaceThe AMCX1553-1/2/4 modules provideTransformer Bus Coupling (DirectCoupling can be provided instead ofTransformer Coupling/configurationoptions available at time of order) andfixed output amplitude for connection tothe MIL-STD-1553A/B Bus stub.The AMCX1553-1T/2T modules provideprogrammable Bus Coupling, an onboardBus Network and variable output amplitude to the MIL-STD-1553A/B bus.All MIL-STD-1553A/B signals are providedat the Front Panel connectors orRear-I/O connector.

Technical DataSystem Interface32-bit/33MHz PCIbus (Rev. 2.2) compliantTrigger/General Pupose DiscreteI/O SignalsThe Front-I/O connectors provide 1 TriggerInput and 1 Trigger Output (shared between Bus Controller and Bus Monitor)for each MIL-STD-1553A/B stream.Additionally user programmable DiscreteI/O signals, 2 on the AMCX1553-1/2/4 and6 on the AMCX1553-1T/2T, can be accessedvia Front-I/O. The PMC’s Rear-I/O Interfaceprovides 3 separate Trigger Inputs and3 Trigger Outputs for Bus Controller,Remote Terminal and Bus Monitor foreach MIL-STD-1553A/B stream.All 8 onboard General Purpose DiscreteI/O signals, which are user programmablefor input or output can be accessed viaRear-I/O. Voltage levels of all Trigger signalsand General Purpose Discrete I/O’s are TTLcompatible, whereas the General PurposeDiscrete I/O’s are designed to handleavionics level as well.IRIG-B Time Encoder/DecoderAMCX1553 modules include an onboardIRIG-B time encoder/decoder with sinusoidal output and free-wheeling modefor time tag synchronization. This allowssynchronization of multiple AMCX1553modules to 1 common IRIG-B time inputsource or to the onboard time codegenerator of 1 AMCX1553 module as thereference for correlation of data acrossmultiple MIL-STD-1553A/B streams.Driver Software SupportThe Driver Software is supplied withthe AMCX1553 module.
