Detailed Information
Single or Dual Stream Test, Simulator and Monitor Module for CPCI (3U). This module comprises any combination of AMC1553 plus the ACC-1 Carrier Card.
General Features
The AMC1553-1/2 is part of a new family of PCI Mezzanine (PMC) modules offering full function Test, Simulation, Monitoring and databus analyser functions for MIL-STD-1553A/B applications. Two independent dual redundant MIL-STD-1553A/B databus streams are provided on the AMC1553-2 module and one single dual redundant MIL-STD-1553A/B databus stream are on the AMC1553-1 module.
An on board IRIG-B time code decoder and generator allows users to accurately synchronise single or multiple AMC1553-1/2 modules to a common time source.
The AMC1553-1/2 uses AIM’s field proven "Common Core" hardware design utilising multiple RISC processors with speeds up to 733MHz. For AMC1553-1/2 modules, the Application Support Processor (ASP) functions are handled by the Host Processor board with an identical Application Interface.
Both, Transformer coupling and Direct coupling for one or two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553A/B databus connections are alternately available at the output connector or at the backpanel connector.
The AMC1553-1/2 modules operates with the optionally provided PBA-2000/-NET MIL-STD-1553A/B Databus Analyser Software and with ParaView, the Parameter Visualiser for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000.
Bus Controller
The AMC1553-1/2 provides real time Bus Controller functions on one or two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553A/ B buses concurrently with Multiple RT and Chronological Monitor operation. A up to 733 MHz RISC Processor provides true simulation of BC operations without host computer interaction.

Recorded data files can be selected for a physical bus replay to perform systems integration and test with the ability to disable any or all RT responses from the recorded files.
IRIG-B Time Code Decoder
An on board IRIG-B time code decoder and generator allows synchronization of MIL-STD-1553A/B bus traffic using single or multiple AMC1553-1/2 modules. AMC1553 cards can be synchronised to one common IRIG-B time source from external or to the free wheeling on-board Time Code Generator of one ACM1553 module as the reference for accurate correlation of data across multiple MIL-STD-1553A/B data streams.
