The IPM-708 provides two transmit and two receive ARINC 708 display bus channels. Available as a 32MHz single-size Industry Pack (IPack) module, the IPM-708 offers 32-bit transmit and receive time tagging with a precision of one microsecond. Flexible status and interrupt flags fully support both polling and interrupt-driven software strategies to ensure optimal real-time performance.
The IPM-708 contains on-board coupling transformers. A high-performance FPGA is used to provide encode/decode, error injection and detection, fail-safe timer, and transceiver control functions. As an added convenience, the IPM-708 comes with 16 general-purpose DIO ports, which can be individually programmed as inputs or outputs, and optional ARINC 429 channels. 32-bit timetags allow precise detection of edge transitions.
Carrier Board Support
The functionality of the IPM-708 is further enhanced by the power of MAX Technologies’ line of intelligent multi- platform (PCI, CPCI and PXI) carrier boards. All modules and carrier boards are synchronized and time correlated to 32-bit microsecond-resolution.
Software Support
The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
