Swift PMC NTDS Parallel

The Swift PMC NTDS Parallel card connects computers with PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slots to military computers and peripherals with MIL-STD-1397C Type A, B, C or H interfaces. The Swift PMC is a daughter card that installs in an industry standard PMC slot on a host CPU or PMC carrier, providing full-featured NTDS I/O capabilities in a small form factor.

Sabtech's Swift 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 to perform simultaneous input and output (full duplex) operations. NTDS type is software-selectable allowing quick reconfiguration without the use of hardware jumpers or switch settings.

Swift boards 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, cPCI, and PCIe versions of the Swift. Device driver software is available for the most commonly-used operating systems.

For maintenance and reliability, Swift NTDS Parallel boards use short-circuit protected outputs to prevent failures due to improper cabling or NTDS type mismatch. An internal loop-back path allows the Swift to be tested without disconnecting cables. The Swift 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 to be deployed and supported for years to come.
