Mission Viejo, CA (April 18, 2018) – Holt Integrated Circuits today announced the release of the new HI-6300 MIL-STD-1553 / MIL-STD-1760 IP core for military and commercial applications. The core is based on Holt’s independently-validated monolithic protocol ICs for MIL-STD-1553, namely Holt’s HI-6130 and MAMBATM families, and is fully software compatible with them.
The IP Core supports Bus Controller (BC), Monitor Terminal (MT) or Remote Terminal (RT) functions, with all options having a high-performance synchronous host interface allowing easy connection to AMBA AXI4 interface protocol or PCI-Express. Enabled terminals communicate with the MIL-STD-1553 buses through a shared dual bus transceiver, HI-1587, and external isolation transformer, also available from Holt.
The HI-6300 is the only MIL-STD-1553 IP Core providing native Error Detection and Correction on the embedded 8K or 64K words of block RAM. The user provided input clock is selectable from 50 or 100MHz. A comprehensive built-in self-test is available. MIL-STD-1760 busy bit response time is supported with an external input signal.
The HI-1587 is the world’s first MIL-STD-1553 transceiver featuring 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V compatible digital I/O and includes an integrated IP security module eliminating the need for a separate dongle chip to unlock the IP.
“This MIL-STD-1553 IP core provides our customers with an alternative to a hardware-based design solution”, said Sean Sleicher, Director of Business Development at Holt. “Customers already utilizing FPGAs in their design can easily add MIL-STD-1553 functionality to their application by taking advantage of Holt’s proven IP core.”
The Holt IP core product includes the HI-6300 IP Core, a Verilog test bench, and supporting documentation, allowing designers to instantiate the core in a variety of FPGA implementations.
Also available is a high-level API software library supporting Linux, VxWorks, or bare metal implementations. The API is compatible with competitor legacy APIs allowing developers to reuse existing application software.
