MIL-STD-1553B BRT

MIL-STD-1553B BRT

The silicon proven MIL-STD-1553B IP Core delivers robust, field-proven digital communication for mission-critical avionics, defense, and industrial control systems. Supporting fully configurable operation as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or Bus Monitor (BM), this IP core enables seamless integration of the MIL-STD-1553B dual-redundant serial protocol into any SoC or FPGA platform. Engineered for reliability and strict compliance, the core supports all protocol timing and electrical requirements, including error checking, status reporting, and message scheduling. The architecture is highly configurable, allowing for single or multiple RT instantiations, advanced command/data scheduling, and custom status monitoring. APB/AXI host interfaces ensure easy connection to a wide range of bus fabrics..
