Actel Core1553 Development Kit
Actel introduced the Core1553 Development Kit, which is essentially a self-contained benchtop 1553 bus development system. The kit enables the development and testing of MIL-STD-1553B development using Actel’s Core1553BRM IP core. The Core1553 Development Kit (part number CORE1553-DEV-KIT) is available now for US $3620. The Core1553BRM core is licensed separately and is not included in the kit. The Core1553 Development Kit is ideal for military and aerospace engineers.

- Quickstart Card
The Core1553 Development Kit consists of a Fusion Advanced Development Kit board and a Core1553 Daughter Card, allowing users to exercise the functionality of Actel’s Core1553BRM without having to create a complete MIL-STD-1553B-compliant system. Designers using the Core1553BRM source files included in the kit can implement two complete Core1553BRM cores into a single M1AFS1500 FPGA, and evaluate the bus controller, remote terminal and bus monitor (monitor terminal) functions of the 1553B core, all compliant with MIL-STD-1553B and associated international specifications. The design also allows monitoring of 1553B bus activity using Actel Silicon Explorer II hardware or the customer’s logic analyzer.
