Avionics Interface Technologies 1553 board

Product Description

Avionics Interface Technologies MIL-STD-1553 Interface Board – Avionics Data Bus Component

A specialized MIL-STD-1553 interface board manufactured by Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT), designed for integration into aerospace and defense systems requiring robust, deterministic communication between avionic subsystems. This board implements the dual-redundant 1553 data bus protocol used extensively in military aircraft, spacecraft, and ground vehicles.

🔧 Key Specifications & Details:

• Manufacturer: Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT)

• Compliance: MIL-STD-1553B (likely)

• Function: Acts as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or Bus Monitor (BM)

• Interface: Typically includes dual-redundant transformer-coupled 1553 channels

• Host Interface: Likely PCI, PCIe, CompactPCI, VME, or custom backplane

• Connectors: Military-grade D-sub or high-density multi-pin connectors
