The HI-1592 development kit is easily connected to an external 1553 controller board via an industry standard PMOD port. This port connects the controller digital transmit and receive signals needed to interface the transceiver with a MIL-STD-1553 bus. An alternative connector is available which provides access to additional digital transceiver signals, such as Rx Enable and Tx Inhibit. The kit ships with DIP switches set for PMOD port use by default.
The transceiver board loops back the digital transmit signals to the controller, and connects to a MIL-STD-1553 bus for direct or transformer-coupled configurations via the on-board triaxial bus connectors.
