The GET Engineering 10072501 is a NTDS/PCI Parallel Interface Adapter that enables high-speed parallel data transfer between NTDS-protocol devices and PCI-based computer systems. Designed for military and industrial applications, this half-length adapter card delivers full NTDS data rates through software-configurable protocols, dual data paths, and independent I/O channels supporting simultaneous full-duplex operations.
## Technical Specifications
• **Protocol Compliance:** MIL-STD-1397C compliant with support for Slow, Fast, ANEW, and High Speed ANEW parallel protocols
• **Bus Interface:** PCI slot; compatible with x1, x2, x4, x8, or x16 PCIe slots on related PCIe models
• **Data Path:** Software-selectable 16-bit or 32-bit configurations
• **Form Factor:** Single half-length PCI short card, 4.2″ × 6.875″
• **NTDS Connector:** Rear-panel 112-pin high-density connector (Berg. 50295-5112E or 160-pin SEARAY/MIL-DTL-32139 on PCIe variants)
• **Operational Modes:** Software-selectable Computer, Peripheral, Intercomputer, or Interperipheral channel emulation
• **Time-out Resolution:** 10 µs or 1 ms increments with command and inter-word time-out timers
• **Timestamp Resolution:** 125 ns on individual input words; software-selectable
## Key Features
• Full-duplex simultaneous input and output with hardware-independent channels
• Short-circuit protection on all outputs with fail-safe input operation and tristate output capability
• Plug & Play configuration—no jumpers or switches required; NTDS type software-selectable
• Burst and interrupt-driven transfer modes for full NTDS data rate support
• On-board time-stamp generator for passive and active communications
• Extensive built-in tests (BIT) with internal loopback capability without cable disconnection
• High Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) via high-scale integration, programmable gate arrays, and surface-mount technology
• Passive tap application support
## Typical Applications
• Military and defense systems requiring MIL-STD-1397C parallel communications
• Industrial real-time data acquisition and control systems
• Intercomputer and peripheral device interfacing
• Legacy NTDS system upgrades and integration
## Compatibility & Integration
Fully software-compatible with the GET NTDS family of interface adapters. NTDS cable connections are backward-compatible with previous PCI models, enabling straightforward system upgrades. Software drivers support standard operating systems for rapid deployment.
