The BU-65590F/M is a multi-I/O PMC card providing new levels of performance and flexibility for systems interfacing to a MIL-STD-1553 and/or ARINC 429 data bus. There are up to four dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels operating in BC, RT, MT, or RT/MT modes. Sixteen ARINC 429 receive channels and six ARINC 429 transmit channels operate in high/low speed with automatic slew rate adjustment. The card also contains up to six digital discrete I/Os, an IRIG-B time synchronization input, two RS-422/485 Serial I/O channels, and up to two RS-232 Serial I/O Channels. The combination of multiple I/O on one card saves valuable PMC sites on host computers.

The card includes the MIL-STD-1553 Enhanced Mini-ACE® (EMACE) Plus C Software Development Kit (SDK) and the ARINC 429 Multi-I/O C SDK with drivers for Linux®, VxWorks® and Windows® 2000/XP, including source code samples and detailed documentation.

The BU-65590F/M is designed for harsh environments and can be used in either conduction or air-cooled applications. The card is available with front panel I/O or rear I/O. The card's rugged construction and ability to operate from -40°C to +85°C at the thermal rail make it ideal for use in flight data recorders, display applications, embedded black boxes, mission computers, and avionics labs.
