Abstract:
A dual-purpose integrated circuit for use in a MIL-STD-1553B bus system performs the bus-related functions of both the bus controller and of a remote terminal. The circuit incorporates a number of finite-state machines that are programmed by the host CPU to execute one or more series of message transfers with little or no intervention from the CPU.
