Motion feedback card on a commercial budget
DDC has announced the latest addition to its suite of motion feedback cards: the SB-36200IX.
Programmable option for avionics interfacing
DDC's new DD-42916I3 PCI mezzanine card analyses and simulates ARINC 429 data to and from electronic equipment and systems in commercial airlines and military avionics.
Additionally, the rugged low profile transceiver option offers a footprint approximately 50% that of a standard small form factor optical transceiver, enabling military/aerospace customers to increase fibre optic cable bend radius while minimising overall size and weight.
Continuing DDC's history of military support, service and manufacturing capability, the FibreAccess cards offer military-optimised features such as implicit login, Class 2 service and extended link services.
The FibreAccess supports lightweight, avionics-specific protocols such as ASM and RAW modes, standard upper layer protocols (ULPs) such as TCP/IP and SCSI, and custom ULPs.
DDC-developed intellectual property (IP) enables DDC to provide customisability and long life cycle support for military applications, and the FPGA-based design facilitates maintenance and functionality changes through firmware upgrades.
"The FibreAccess NAC has proven itself in multiple flyable and test applications, both alone and interoperating with avionics and commercial, cards and switches".
"We're taking this proven design and are migrating it to a new, lower cost platform with increased capability for customisation", said Amir Massumi, Director of Marketing at DDC.
With an operating temperature range that extends from -40 to +85C, the FibreAccess is a true conduction cooled flyable design that has demonstrated proven interoperability with both avionics and commercial Fibre Channel cards and switches.
