ATDS AMC BOARD
SPECIAL FEATURES
¡¡ Easy to program
¡¡ Reliable and flexible
ATDS AMC
¡¡ Multiple input and
output modes
Compact and reliable ATDS communications for
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) carriers
¡¡ Test without disconnecting
The AMC Airborne Tactical Data System (ATDS) Serial board installs in an industry standard Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) site to
provide a Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) A serial channel compliant with MIL-STD-188-203-1A, Appendix D2. In addition to
conventional input and output operations, the Sparrow has a built-in passive tap mode that provides interface monitoring and data
capturing capability. A software-enabled, embedded time-stamp generator tags input words with 125ns resolution. The time-stamp
clock can be synchronized between multiple boards by using a small interconnect cable and can be driven by an external clock source.
EASY TO PROGRAM
The ATDS AMC is easy to program and offers a variety ofinput and output modes to support all ATDS protocols. All the
ATDS control frames and timing required to transfer individual ATDS words are generated by thehardware control logic.
The software is only required to initially set the appropriate bits in the control registers toselect the desired transfer method
(DMA, non-DMA, Interrupt on completion, Interrupt on each word, etc.), theATDS word type (Address/Sidetone or Data), and then
enable the transfer. The interface comes standard with a driver for a number of commonly used operating systems,
an excellent documentation package, and sample C language code that can be freely used in application software.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Intenance and reliability, the ATDS Serial board has an internal loopbackpath that allows it to be tested without
disconnectingcables. Can be updated in the field by reconfiguringits Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic to add
functionality or compensate for non-compliant interfaces. FPGA technology reduces component obsolescence, enabling the
Sparrow to be deployed and supported for years to come.
