parvus Offers Combined MIL-STD-1553 and NE2000-Plus Ethernet PC/104 Interface for Military/Avionics Applications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2002 Extended Temp PC/104 Databus Interface for Ethernet and 1553 Protocol Available from parvus parvus Corp. today announced that its PC/104 1553/Ethernet Interface board is shipping. This commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) Refers to ready-made merchandise that is available for sale. See MOTS. (software) COTS - commercial off-the-shelf. See commercial software. ) PC/104 form factor module is designed to bring both MIL-STD-1553B protocol and NE2000-Plus Ethernet compatibility to an embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. avionics computer system. The board operates over an extended operating temperature range of -40(degrees)C to +85(degrees)C and is competitively priced at $1,575/each in volume orders of 100 or more. Measuring only 3.550" x 3.775" in size, the 1553/Ethernet Interface (Part Number: PRV-0950X-01) utilizes Aeroflex UTMC's SuMMIT MIL-STD-1553 support chip to operate as a data Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or Bus Monitor (BM) for a variety of 1553 military avionics and ground vehicle applications. Four 16-bit register locations allow complete access to interface functions through PC/104 I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output space, while test routines enable access to memory and internal registers. The support chip also allows interrupts to be generated and routed to the PC/104 bus. The Ethernet portion of the board is fully NE2000 and NE2000-Plus compatible and based on the popular National Semiconductor AT/Lantic AT DP83905 chip, taking advantage of this chipset's proven reliability and the maturity of drivers available in most operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . The standard version of the board includes a 4-pin, low-profile Molex connector Often refers to the 4-pin connectors used to attach DC power to the drives inside a PC cabinet. Molex is a large manufacturer of electronics plugs and sockets that dates back to the 1940s. for 10BaseT connections, enabling a standard RJ-45 jack to be cabled out for panel-mounting in a faceplate, endcap, housing, or bulkhead. APPLICATIONS The PC/104 1553/Ethernet Interface is specifically designed to work with transformer-coupled stubs stubs The shares of equity in a firm that is financed almost completely with debt. Stubs are often created when firms go through a leveraged buyout or pay big cash dividends in order to fend off a takeover. in military Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area.

The board's Ethernet functionality expands its potential application into additional military communications Military communications, or Signals, is a field of military activities, tactics and equipment dealing with communications. First of all, military communications are battlefield (combat) communications, including intercommunication with a higher command or country's environments.
