The ME1000 family of Mini PCI Express
interfaces delivers the most avionics I/O in the smallest form
factor for the embedded aerospace market
Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq:ATRO), a leading provider of
advanced technologies for global aerospace, defense, and other
mission critical industries, announced the release of the new
ME1000 family of mPCIe avionics interface cards for embedded
aerospace applications. The ME1000 provides the highest amount of
1553 I/O in the compact mPCIe form-factor and is the only line to
offer a concurrent RS-422/485 serial interface.

The ME1000 is a new mPCIe card designed and built by Astronics
Ballard Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astronics
Corporation. These rugged cards interface with MIL-STD-1553
databuses and enable host devices, such as small form factor
mission computers, to reliably communicate with and monitor
avionics equipment.
“We are excited to release our new high-performance ME1000 mPCIe
interface cards to the aerospace market for use in applications
where space is at an absolute premium,” said Jon Neal, President of
Astronics Ballard Technology. “The product’s small size and large
complement of I/O, combined with our reputation for reliable
designs, long life, and industry-leading customer support, will
provide our customers with a highly flexible, low-SWaP embedded
solution.”
Key benefits of the new ME1000 include:
- High I/O density, including up to two
dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels, eight avionics level
input/output discretes, two differential discretes, and serial
capability
- Comprehensive IRIG support for both
IRIG A and IRIG B time code signals
- A cost-effective and rugged I/O
connector that reduces mating connector costs and is available in
either a horizontal or vertical orientation to fit in more
places
- An extended temperature range and
optional conformal coating to withstand harsh environmental
demands
- Full concurrent multi-function
operation—Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), and Bus
Monitor. Alternatively, cost-effective single-function cards
provide BC/RT/Monitor operation individually.
- Astronics Ballard Technology’s
universal BTIDriver API to reduce software development time
