PCIE4L-A429


Overview

ARINC PCI Express 4 Lane Interface Card

The PCIE4L-A429 interface module from Alta Data offers a variety of ARINC-419/429/575/573/717 channel configurations with software selectable RX/Tx channels, baud rates, bit encoding and word configurations (Start/Sync/Stop length, Parity, bits/word, MSB/LSB).

The board allows you to encode or decode almost any ARINC-429 physical layer signal, and the 4 lane card (PCIE4L) is normal 1/2 height common for most desktop and larger server systems.
