The 3.3V CMOS HI-6139 device is a member of Holt’s MIL-STD-1553 MAMBA^TM family and provides a complete single or multi-function interface between a host processor and MIL-STD-1553B bus (a register bit provides optional MIL-STD-1553A operation). Each IC contains a Bus Controller (BC), a Bus Monitor Terminal (MT) and a Remote Terminal (RT). Any combination of the contained 1553 functions can be enabed for concurrent operation. The enabled terminals communicate with the MIL-STD-1553 buses through a shared on-chip dual bus transceiver and external transformers. The user allocates 16K bytes of on-chip static RAM between devices to suit application requirements. 

The HI-6139 communicates with the host via a 40 MHz 4-wire serial peripheral interface (SPI). Programmable interrupts provide terminal status to the host processor. Circular data buffers in RAM have interrupts for rollover and programmable “level attained”. 

The HI-6139 can be configured for automatic self-initialization after reset. A dedicated SPI port reads data from an external serial EEPROM to fully configure registers and RAM and optionally start execution for any subset of one to three terminal devices.

A reference design, ADK-6139 and reference software is also available. The 2-board assembly and C project software provides a ready-to-run evaluation platform demonstrating concurrent operation for any combination of Bus Controller, Bus Monitor and Remote Terminal. For convenience, the kit includes IAR Systems Embedded Workbench® for ARM, and a fully integrated debug interface for the ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller.
