DataPipe LIU (LAN Interface Unit)
The DataPipe LIU provides a communications data-pipe solution for use within local area networks. Individual units provide end-to-end analogue and digital connectivity, with additional SPI interfaces. This COTS solution was produced in direct response to our customers' requirements, for a defence market application.
The product is highly specified in terms of functionality, performance and power consumption and offers independent bi-directional links within a LAN (supports remote monitoring), in both point-to-point and point-to-many-point configurations.
Datapipe LIU’s provide;
- reliable link operation with end-to-end latencies across a LAN of below 3ms
- link signal jitter of below 100ns
- continuous links with agile signal regeneration
- support for internal and external clock sources
- analogue links up to 100KHz (12bit samples)
- digital links up to 200KHz
- independent bi-directional link operation
- small footprint 100mm x 80mm x 18mm High
- low power operation <3 watt
Additionally, all aspects of the link configuration are configurable and many parameters may be adjusted on the fly, without affecting the integrity of any established links.
