The IXI Technology / Sabtech Industries 40-00037-01 Swift PCI NTDS Serial Type E Interface Module is a MIL-STD-1397C Type D/E compliant PCI interface card engineered for full-duplex 32-bit NTDS data transfers between commercial and military systems. Independent NTDS Sink and Source channels support simultaneous bidirectional communication via Interrupt, Programmed I/O, and Direct Memory Access operation modes. FPGA-based architecture enables in-field reprogramming and extends component lifecycle.
## Technical Specifications
• **Model:** 40-00037-01
• **Bus Interface:** PCI
• **Protocol Compliance:** MIL-STD-1397C Type D or E
• **Data Transfer:** Full-duplex 32-bit NTDS
• **Operation Modes:** Interrupt, Programmed I/O (PIO), Direct Memory Access (DMA)

## Key Features
• Separate or combined data and command word input buffers with stopping logic
• Concurrent data and command output buffer operation
• Single-word and burst-mode transmission for NTDS Type E
• Passive tap mode for non-intrusive monitoring and data capture
• Software-selectable time stamping across active and passive communications
• Time stamp synchronization across multiple interfaces
• Independent word counters and time-outs for command/information words and data words
• Configurable time-out start (operation initiation or first-word transfer)
• Full implementation of MIL-STD-1397C System Integrity Features (SIF)
## Typical Applications
• Naval combat systems and defense network integration
• Military serial data acquisition and command distribution
• Passive monitoring of NTDS communication networks
• Real-time multi-interface synchronization in shipboard environments
## Compatibility & Integration
Software compatibility with other Swift family boards (PMC and cPCI versions) supports system migration and mixed-board deployments without firmware redesign.
