Drop-In Replacements for DDC® MIL-STD-1553 Terminals

Wednesday, March 20, 2019

Mission Viejo, CA (March 19, 2019) – Holt Integrated Circuits today introduced several new families of MIL-STD-1553 terminals offering both pin and software register level compatibility with many Data Device Corporation (DDC®) MIL-STD-1553 terminals. All families provide complete form, fit, and functional replacements allowing users to drop-in to existing 1553 designs with no changes required to the existing board layout or software.  

This new family of devices are fully register-level software compatible and fully pin compatible with the DDC® Mini-ACE®, Enhanced Mini-ACE®, Micro-ACE® TE, Micro-ACE, Mini-ACE® Mark3, Total-ACE®, and Simple System RT (SSRT) families of MIL-STD-1553 Terminals. The single-chip monolithic design allows Holt to offer reduced cost and lower lead times over the older traditional hybrid or multi-chip module approach. The higher maximum junction temperature of the Holt devices supports extended temperature (-55°C to +125°C) operation with no limitations on transmit duty cycle or special heat sinking required.

“These new drop-in devices offer users the option to realize significant cost savings, reduced lead-times, and potential obsolescence mitigation when compared to existing hybrid or multi-chip module solutions” said Sean Sleicher, Director of Business Development for Holt Integrated Circuits. “Given the cost of re-design and qualification, providing our customers with an equivalent, reliable, and cost effective second source just makes sense”.
