Overview High performance Mx5 databus interface cards enable embedded systems to communicate with, simulate, test, and monitor avionics equipment and systems.
These high performance mezzanine cards efficiently manage fully loaded databuses with ease. On-board protocol processors handle all databus activity, freeing the host for application-specific processing. 64 MB ECC (error correction) memory provides generous data storage with a variety of buffering schemes.
High speed host interfaces are achieved with an x4 PCI Express lane with bus mastering on XMC versions and a 32/64-bit, 33/66/133 MHz PCI-X interface on PMC versions. All cards have extensive built-in test (PBIT, CBIT, IBIT). | Array of styles There's an Mx5 model to fit your system. Choose from the following: XMC or PMC Front or rear I/O
All cards can be conduction or convection (air) cooled Valuable features The Mx5 includes an array of other important features, including:
| Application flexibility With so many features and so much flexibility, the Mx5 is your best solution in a wide variety of applications, such as: Rugged deployed systems Embedded test systems High performance simulators Demanding requirements Mixed protocol systems Avionics upgrades and retrofits Databus health monitoring
With the Mx5, it has never been easier to standardize on one product line for all of your mezzanine card I/O needs. |
Protocols PROTOCOLS AVAILABLE The Mx5 Series features a wide variety of models, including single-protocol cards with high channel counts, as well as mixed-protocol cards that combine MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC protocols on the same board.

Software BTIDriver API Users can develop their own software applications with the included BTIDriver API for C/C++, C#, VB, VB.Net, and LabVIEW. With only a few function calls a program can operate an Mx5 and process messages to and from the avionics databuses. Functions include routines for transmitting, receiving, scheduling, recording, time-tagging, and manipulating data. An Mx5 card can use applications developed for other Ballard devices. Code migrates seamlessly from BTIDriver compatible devices or through a translation driver from older Ballard devices.

Ordering MX5 ORDERING GUIDELINES The Mx5 Series offers a wide variety of product configurations, protocols and options. The resulting part number list is too numerous and complex to show here. Contact Ballard Sales for assistance in determining the best Mx5 configuration to fit your needs. Examples below give you a sample of possible combinations. Letters in red are variable choices from the tables below. Not all possible combinations are available. 
HOST PLATFORM (Mx5m/) Configure part number with desired host options. Substitute the letters below for your choices. Example: ME5R/ for XMC, rear panel I/O, conduction cooled x | E = XMC | P = PMC | m | R = Rear panel I/O | F = Front panel I/O |
MIL-STD-1553 (nf) For MIL-STD-1553 channels, add this section to the part number. Substitute the letters below for your desired options. Example: ME5R/8M for 8 multi function MIL-STD-1553 channels n | Number of channels up to 8* | f | S = Single Function (all 1553 channels) | M = Multi Function (all 1553 channels) |
*Multi-protocol models may have a reduced number of available channels. Contact Ballard Sales for more details.
ARINC 429 (rRtT) For ARINC 429 channels, add this section to the part number. Substitute the letters below for your desired options. Example: ME5R/18R4T for 18R4T ARINC 429 channels r | Number of receive channels up to 18* | t | Number of transmit channels up to 4 |
*Multi-protocol models may have a reduced number of available channels. Contact Ballard Sales for more details.
ARINC 717 (717) For ARINC 717 channels, add 717 to the part number. Example: ME5R/18R4T-717 for 18R4T ARINC 429 channels and 2R2T ARINC 717 channels 717 | Include 2 receive, 2 transmit ARINC 717 channels |
ARINC 708 (708s) For ARINC 708 channels, add this section to the part number. Substitute the letter below for your desired option. Example: ME5R/14R4T-7082 for 14R4T ARINC 429 channels and 2R2T ARINC 708 channels. s | 1 = 1R1T ARINC 708 channels | 2 = 2R2T ARINC 708 channels |
OPTIONS (/opt) Additional options are available and are noted at the end of the part number. Contact Ballard Sales for more details. Example: ME5R/8M/FXY adds conformal coating to an 8 channel MIL-STD-1553 card. EXAMPLES The following are examples of other multi-protocol models: MP5R/4M-10R4T-717/FXY MP5F/14R4T-717-7082 ME5F/8M-717
