Overview
  • 1-2 Independent, Dual Redundant 1553 Channels on Small Mezzanine. Dual or Full Function Models.
  • 10/100/1000 Real-Time Ethernet UDP Interface
  • Full Schematics, Design Guidelines, ESS Test Examples, and 3-D STEP Files
  • Commercial or Industrial Extended Temperature Parts
  • A/D Signal Capture for Cable Troubleshooting and Cybersecurity Modeling. First Channel Only
  • Auto 1553-Ethernet Bridging for Bus Monitor! No Programming Needed.

From our popular ENET product, the MEZ-E1553 is a small, rugged mezzanine product that can easily be integrated into your system design.  Alta provides full reference schematics, design notes, STEP 3-D Files, and sample ESS test programs.  Guaranteed 1553A/B/C compliant with AS4111 5.2 Protocol Test reports.

Same AltaAPI SDK development software with straight Berkley BSD socket layer compatible with almost any operating system, including DO-178 systems.

  • Easier to integrate into your system than 1553 ASIC chips with much more functionality.
  • Dual Function (BC/Mon or mRT/Mon) or Full Function (BC/mRT/Mon) – chips do not offer Full Functionality or Signal Capture.

Signal Capture circuitry is included on the first channel for cable troubleshooting and cybersecurity modeling.  The example captures below are shown with our AltaView analyzer, or integrate captures in your application with AltaAPI SDK (included):
