Overview

The HI-6130 PCIe development kit is a fully functional MIL-STD-1553B dual redundant bus interface which can operate up to four independent terminals: Bus Controller, Monitor Terminal and up to two Remote Terminals. It may be used right out of the box and comes bundled with Holt’s high-level Application Program Interface (API) software library. In addition, two example projects (including source code) demonstrate typical MIL-STD-1553 application requirements. Customers may use the kit as a MIL-STD-1553 test and simulation board or utilize the development tools and source code provided as the basis of a custom design.

This reference design also shows how the HI-6130 can be connected to the computer PCI Express bus using a bridge chip and programmable logic array. The API Library permits C language programming without detailed familiarity with the register-level HI-6130 operations.

Note: Holt also offers a Mini PCIe card and reference design which features HI-2130, a HI-6130 device which has integrated MIL-STD-1553 transceivers in the same package. This offers a much more compact solution and is recommended for new designs.
