The Curtiss-Wright/Systran SCRAMNet AHSB-DPCIG08M-T is a PCI module engineered for deterministic, ultra-low-latency data sharing across multiple computing platforms in critical real-time applications. Built on replicated shared-memory architecture and ASIC-based core logic, it delivers precise synchronization and control essential for demanding industrial, laboratory, and military environments.
## Technical Specifications
• **Product Family:** SCRAMNET+ Network SC150e Series
• **Interface:** PCI Module
• **Bridge Chip:** V363EPC PCI Bridge (V3 Semiconductor)
• **Core Logic:** ASIC with message arbitration, network control, memory management, interrupt handling, error detection and correction, and node configuration
• **Data Throughput:** Up to 16.7 MB/sec (SCRAMNet Classic); enhanced architecture in SC150e products optimizes DMA performance
• **Transport Delay:** 250 nSec per node (SCRAMNet Classic); sub-microsecond system latency (SCRAMNet GT); less than 1 μsec per node (SCRAMNet GT)
