IP-1553

MIL-STD-1553 is a versatile standardized bus interface. MIL-STD-1553 is robust featuring Manchester encoding and enough voltage swing to provide excellent noise immunity and reasonable throughput rates. MIL-STD-1553 is the interface of choice for critical applications; for example aircraft instrumentation and control. There are many devices supporting the 1553 bus - navigation devices, instrumentation, sensors and more. IP-1553 makes it easy to gain access to the MIL-STD-1553 bus. Just connect; program a few registers and then use like an IO device. IP-1553 is currently supported with the Dynamic Engineering Carrier software drivers.

Connect your hardware to your favorite Avionics with IP-1553. IP-1553 is an IndustryPack® compatible MIL-STD-1553 interface featuring dual redundant BC, RT and Monitor capabilities in one slot. The DDC Micro-ACE provides the industry compatible 1553 interface with 64K of RAM and programmable master, target and monitor operation. Support for both Direct coupled [short stub] and Transformer coupled [long stub] operation is provided. The IP-1553 comes in industrial temp standard.

IP-1553 is standard single wide IP which is 8 and 32 MHz. IP Bus compatible. The IP interface supports the Micro-ACE 1553 interface through the IO, INT and Memory spaces.


The Micro-ACE part has many features including the following [taken from the DDC data sheet]
  • Fully Integrated 3.3 or 5.0 Volt, 1553 A/B Notice 2 Terminal
  • Transceiver Power-down Options
  • Enhanced Mini-ACE Architecture
  • Multiple Configurations: -- BC/RT/Monitor, 64K RAM
  • Supports 1553A/B Notice 2, McAir, STANAG 3838 Protocols
  • MIL-STD-1553, McAir, and MIL-STD-1760 Transceiver Options
  • Highly Flexible Host Side Interface
  • Compatible With Mini-ACE and ACE Generations
  • Highly Autonomous BC with Built-In Message Sequence Controller
  • Choice of Single, Double, and Circular RT Buffering Options
  • Selective Message Monitor
  • Comprehensive Built-In Self-Test
  • Choice Of 10, 12, 16, or 20 MHz Clock Inputs
  • Software Libraries and Drivers available for Windows® 9x/2000/XP,VxWorks® and Linux
  • Available with Full Military Temperature Range and Screening


    The IP-1553 supports the Micro-ACE. Because the Micro-ACE is backward compatible the IP-1553 can be used as an upgrade path to older Mini and ACE based designs without much if any effort changing your software. DDC provides a library to support the Micro-ACE to help with new designs or designs which will take advantage of the updated features. For example the worst case delay is reduced from 2.8 uS to .63 uS with the newer Micro-ACE device.


    IP-1553 Features

  • IO
  • Dual Redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels

  • Size
  • single slot IP Module.

  • Speed
  • 8 and 32 MHz IP bus operation.

  • IP decoding
  • ID, IO, Mem and INT spaces supported

  • Memory
  • 64K of RAM built into Micro-ACE device

  • Clocks
  • 20 Mhz reference clock supplied. Customer specific frequencies can be implemented.

  • Access Width
  • all addresses are on 16 bit boundaries

  • ID PROM
  • IP-1553 has a unique ID PROM for identification.

  • Software Interface
  • All FPGA registers are read-write. All registers on word addresses. Each channel has separate control registers.

  • Interrupts
  • Programmable interrupts for each channel are supported. Masked interrupts can be used in polled mode by reading the status register. Interrupts are mapped to INTR0n on IP bus.

  • Power Requirement
  • +5V



    IP-1553 Benefits

  • Speed
  • The IP interface supports 32 MHz operation for quick data loading and unloading. The interface supports interrupts and polling. The MIL-STD-1553 interface supports the standard rates and can be reprogrammed to alternate user requirements.

  • Price
  • Cost effective with options for channel density and "extra" features

  • Ease of Use
  • The IP-1553 is easy to use. All registers are read-write and word aligned. There is a lot of flexability with interrupt and polled mode operations. Please download the hardware manual and see for yourself. The engineering kit provides a good starting point for a new user. The reference software does a loop-back test.

  • Availability
  • The IP-1553 is a popular board. We keep the IP-1553 in stock. Send in your order and in most cases have your hardware the next day - delivered to you via FedEx.

  • Size
  • The IP-1553 in standard configuration is an IP module which conforms to the IndustryPack mechanical and electrical specifications. The IP-1553 can be used in all IP slots.

  • IP Compatibility
  • The IP-1553 is IP compliant per the VITA 4 - 1995 specification. All Dynamic Engineering IP Modules are compatible with the PCI3IP, PCI5IP, cPCI2IP, cPCI4IP etc. The IP-1553 will operate with any IP specification compliant carrier board.
