GE Intelligent Platforms ASF-PCI MIL-STD-1553 Interface ASF-PCI is a flexible interface providing a Features Hardware Overview single function, dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 • 1 or 2 dual redundant 1553 channels GE bases the ASF interface upon an interface to the PCI backplane. This Advanced featuring 100% independent operation as advanced high-speed DSP, programmable Single Function (ASF) architecture provides one of the following: logic and dual port RAM. It delivers a highly independent operation as a Bus Controller - Bus Controller reliable hardware platform that is feature rich (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or dual function - Remote Terminal and user friendly.
