1553B Bus Interface Simulation Card, 1553B IP Core, Applicable to Aerospace Airborne, Integrated Aircraft Avionics, and Other Fields

#1553B

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

Application Areas:

Ø Aerospace Airborne Electronic Systems

Ø Integrated Aircraft Avionics Systems

Ø Building Simulation and Test System Platforms

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.
