## Key Features
• Independent NTDS sink and source channels
• Interrupt, PIO (Programmed I/O), and DMA (Direct Memory Access) operation modes
• FPGA-based architecture enabling field firmware updates
• PCI master slave operation
## Typical Applications
Naval combat systems, tactical data networks, defense platform integration, real-time combat information center (CIC) systems.
## Compatibility & Integration
Supports legacy PCI 2.2 and modern PCI Express environments. Dual-channel PCIe variants accommodate multi-interface NTDS implementations requiring higher bandwidth and lower latency.
