PMC Module is MIL-STD-1553 and STANAG 3838 compliant.
September 29, 2009 -
Offering up to 4 channels of STANAG 3838 or MIL-STD-1553 compatible connectivity, VM1553 IEEE1386-compatible device allows each channel to be individually configured for bus controller, remote terminal, bus monitor operations, or extended RT/BM. Unit requires less than 2 W for single 1553 channel and PCI interface functions with 3.3 or 5 V signaling. Operating in -40 to +85°C temperatures, module is configurable for direct or transformer-coupled interface via same pins on P14 connector.

Varisys' MilSTD 1553 Product Range Takes Off
The Varisys range of MilSTD 1553 products made its maiden flight with the launch of the VM1553 a 1-4 channel MilSTD 1553 PMC module.
VM1553 is an IEEE1386 compatible PMC offering up to four channels of STANAG 3838 or MIL-STD-1553 compatible connectivity. The VM1553's compact, modular form factor gives it many uses for embedded solutions in both air and conduction cooled environments and, combined with a Varisys PMC carrier can be easily used in a laboratory.
The module is compliant with MIL-STD-1553A, MIL-STD-1553B and STANAG 3838 protocols. Each channel can be individually configured for Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), Bus Monitor (BM) operations or Extended RT/BM.
Varisys' flexible design approach means that the VM1553 can be configured for direct or transformer coupled interface via the same pins on the P14 connector. The PCI interface functions with either 3.3 or 5V signalling. The Varisys design has given the VM1553 a low power requirement of less than 2W for a single 1553 channel.
The VM1553's ability to operate from -40°C to +85°C make it ideal for use in data recording, monitoring and display either in black box systems or embedded mission computers. Typical applications for the VM1553 include Avionics, Radar, Sonar, Data Recording in hard real time environments such as aerospace, naval or land based platforms
The VM1553 is fully supported with an advanced high level Core Library Application Programming Interface (Core Library API) providing a flexible, cost saving solution.
The design concept of the Core Library API is that it provides a consistent interface across all Operating Systems and hardware architectures. The Core Library API facilitates the porting of applications to new hardware solutions with very minimal changes.
The software support that we offer provides full device and board level Built In Test (BIT) functionality as well as full Endian management, hardware interrupt support, and chipset management.
The Core API provides an optional high speed data offload engine, designed to gather bus monitor or remote terminal data from chipset memory to a host storage area.
Varisys key markets include aerospace, military, telecommunications, vetronics and industrial control. Varisys work in partnership with their clients providing cost effective, leading edge technology for the most demanding applications.
