Metromatics now supplies the Alta Data Technologies mini, embedded mezzanine board for MIL-STD-1553 networks, the MEZ-E1553.

The product provides 1-2 dual redundant 1553A/B/C channels with an ethernet backplane interface on a small 3.6 x 5.6 cm PCB, available in dual (BC/BM or mRT/BM) or full function (BC/mRT/BM) models.

For current customers, the board can be integrated into an existing system, using the same AltaAPI SDK software, often without even recompiling their application. For new customers, the Berkley socket layer means the MEZ-E1553 will work with almost any operating system. It complements the Mini PCI Express embedded cards (MPCI2-1553) for systems like Com Express.

The MEZ-E1553 is suitable for any rugged, custom requirement. The product also includes signal capture (o-scope) capability for troubleshooting 1553 cable issues and cybersecurity signal modelling.

These products provide all the controls of traditional 1553 interfaces and can simultaneously auto bridge time-stamped 1553-UDP packets without any programming. There is a fast auto-boot feature and data structures can be controlled through standard socket communications as implemented in almost every OS, even DO-178 compliant systems.
