 PCI-SpaceWireCompany Description:PMC compatible Spacewire Interface ECSS-E-50-12AUtilize SpaceWire to communicate with the European Space Agency and NASA equipment utilizing the ECSS-E-50-12A specification. SpaceWire is configured using routers to create a hierarchical point-to-point system with high speed parallel paths. PCI SpaceWire implements SpaceWire in a convenient PCI format. With PCI you four channels fit on the PCI Bezel. The SpaceWire specification calls for LVDS signaling and a specific 9 pin micro-D connector. You can connect the PCI-SpaceWire to other SpaceWire compliant devices without electrical interface issues. FIFO memories and programmable interrupts off-load the CPU from most of the management other implementations require. The FIFO access is optimized for the PCI bus further reducing overhead by speeding up the data transfer. On the IO side the PCI SpaceWire has independent and interconnected channel functions. All channels can operate at maximum rate in parallel. Worldwide Headquarters:
