1553B Bus Interface Simulation Card, 1553B IP Core, Applicable to Aerospace Airborne, Integrated Aircraft Avionics, and Other Fields
The 1553B bus interface card can be used as a communication or simulation test board, supporting computer bus platforms such as USB, PCI, PXI, CPCI, Ethernet, RS422, RS485. It offers single-function (1 BC, 0-31 RTs, and 1 BM, currently only single operating mode) and multi-function (1 BC, 0-31 RTs, and 1 BM, currently multiple operating modes available) configurations, with single-channel, dual-channel, triple-channel, and quad-channel options. Communication rates support standard 1Mbps, as well as 4Mbps. Designed for industrial-grade operating temperatures from -40℃ to +85℃, it is rich in features, easy to use, and conducive to secondary development.
The 1553B interface simulation card provides Windows/Linux/VxWorks drivers and supports board diagnostics and testing. It can meet the communication, testing, and simulation requirements for 1553B bus in equipment, laboratories, and field operations.

Key Features:
ØBC Mode
- Supports automatic BC retry
- Supports message inter-message gap setting
- Programmable major frame and minor frame content and transmission timing, message inter-message gap, no-response and delay times
- Message content and operating mode can be modified online
- Provides two message reception methods: interrupt and polling
- Can buffer 2048 processed messages
- Error injection and detection: illegal word, response time, parity check, Manchester encoding/decoding
- Manages messages using a linked list, allowing dynamic addition and deletion of event messages
ØRT Mode
- Supports 0-31 RTs
- Supports independent data caching for sub-addresses
- Programmable error injection, response time, interrupt trigger conditions
- Data, status, and control words can be modified online
- Manages messages using a linked list, allowing dynamic addition and deletion of messages
ØBM Mode
- Uses a circular buffer for data reception
- 100% bus monitoring: error status, word status, message status
- Optional interrupt trigger conditions: RT address, RT sub-address, status or control word, etc.
- Software-configurable monitoring filter conditions, 45-bit time tag

The 1553B IP core is designed according to the MIL-STD-1553B bus protocol and references the HI-6110 chip. It can be configured to select three operating modes: Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), and Bus Monitor (BM). Input and output command words, status words, and data words are stored via 16-bit registers. Data words are buffered using a FIFO with a depth of 32 and a width of 16 bits. Data transmission encoding uses Manchester code.
