Swift-PAK™ NTDS for CompactPCI

The optimum NTDS solution for CompactPCI systems

Impressive performance with unmatched features and flexibility

  • Single or Dual Channels
  • Conserve Slot Space
  • Passive Tap Capability
  • Test without Disconnecting Cables

The Swift-PAK for CompactPCI (cPCI) utilizes our state-of-the-art Swift PMC technology to provide high-performance MIL-STD-1397C NTDS channels for cPCI systems. It comes in 3U or 6U versions configured with NTDS parallel or serial types A, B, C, D, E or H. The 6U version allows for up to two channels of any combination to reside in a single slot which significantly reduces space requirements, especially for systems with numerous I/O channels.

 

The Swift-PAK for cPCI is easy to program and offers a variety of input and output modes to support any NTDS protocol. Hardware-independent input and output channels allow the Swift-PAK to perform simultaneous input and output (full duplex) operations. On parallel channels, the NTDS type is software-selectable allowing quick reconfiguration without the use of hardware jumpers or switch settings.

 

The Swift-PAK can be used for passive tap applications as well as normal NTDS I/O. An on-board time stamp generator tags individual input words with 125 ns resolution. Time stamping is software-selectable and can be used with active or passive communications.

 

All boards in the Swift family are software-compatible making it easy to mix parallel and serial NTDS boards in the same system as well as allowing transparent migration of applications between PCI, PMC, and cPCI versions of the Swift. Device driver software is available for the most commonly-used operating systems.

 

For maintenance and reliability, Swift-PAK parallel channels use short-circuit protected outputs to prevent failures due to improper cabling or NTDS type mismatch. An internal loop-back path allows the Swift-PAK to be tested without disconnecting cables. The Swift-PAK can be updated in the field by reconfiguring its Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic to add features or compensate for non-compliant interfaces. Using FPGA technology reduces component obsolescence, enabling the Swift-PAK to be deployed and supported for years to come.
