ME1000 mPCIe Interface Cards
mPCIe Interface Cards for Avionics Databuses
The Ballard ME1000 family of Mini PCI Express® (mPCIe) cards enable space-constrained embedded systems to interface with avionics databuses, providing the capability to reliably communicate with, analyse, simulate, and monitor avionics equipment and systems.
They are ideal for use in small mission computers for UAVs and other aerial platforms, laptops, and tablets. Do more with the most I/O in a mPCIe card, including MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC 429/717, serial, discrete, and IRIG.
- 1 or 2 dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels
- Up to 12 ARINC 429 and 717 channels
- Rugged Extended Temperature Design
- Single- or Multi-function MIL-STD-1553 models
- IRIG time synchronisation/generation: A/B PWM and AM
- Up to 8 Avionics Discrete I/O
- Differential Discrete I/O*
- RS-422/485 Serial*
- Easy-to-use software interface
- RoHS compliant
- Optional conformal coating
*MIL-STD-1553 models only
The ME1000 provides full concurrent Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), and Bus Monitor operation. In addition, multi-function features protocol error injection (word, gap, and message errors). If concurrent operation is not required, Ballard’s cost-effective single-function cards provide BC/RT/Monitor operation separately.
