PCCD-A429 Data Sheet- 4-8 Channels: Up to 4 Shared RX/TX and 4 RX Channels. PCMCIA/PCCARD and Express Card 54mm.
- Commercial and Extended Temp Models
- Rugged, Thumb-Screw Locking Connector Standard
- **Signal Capture on Two RX Channels - Standard**
- One MByte, 32-bit RAM
- Up to 2 ARINC 717 RX and TX Channels
Alta Data Technologies’ PCCD-A429 & ECD54-A429 interface modules offer a variety of ARINC-419/429/575/573/717 channel configurations with software selectable RX/Tx channels, baud rates, bit encoding and word configurations (Start/Sync/Stop length, Parity, bits/word, MSB/LSB).
Encode or decode almost any ARINC-429 physical layer signal.
The PCCD-A429 & ECD54-A429 cards is based on the industry’s most advanced 32-bit ARINC FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, and a feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, which is a multi-layer ANSI C and Windows .NET 2.0 (MSVS 2005 C++, C#, VB .NET) architecture. This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and flexibility while reducing integration time.
The PCCD-A429 & ECD54-A429 Transmit (TX) capability includes both simple and complete frequency control options for each channel. TX also includes Playback and Signal Generator operations. Dual Receive (RX) functions include independent simultaneous channel level buffering and multi channel level buffering. AltaCore is guaranteed ARINC-419/429/575/573/717 compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and ISO 9001: 2008 processes. Alta is committed to provide each customer with a risk free integration and will help with any level of your system development.
