Multi Protocol IO Concentrator (RDC) IP Core for Safe and Secure Ethernet Network

Overview

Our IP Core is the ideal solution to link all your equipment, sensor or actuator whatever the used protocol to an Avionic network in a safe & secure manner.

It brings a high performance, low latency, safe and cyber-secure link between your equipment and the Avionic network based on ARINC664p7/Ethernet network.

On the Avionic network side, CetraC technology is fully compliant with ARINC664 Part 7 and Ethernet standards. It allows both cyclic and event-driven communications in full duplex. A 100% hardware solution with embedded redundancy management feature to increase network reliability.

On the peripheral IO side, CetraC technology supports a large range of avionic protocol to get the most flexible and scalable solution. You are able to connect all your legacy equipment and new one together within one box. List of supported protocols and features are in constant evolution and include now the following: ARINC429, ARINC825, ARINC664, FibreChannel, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, IEEE1588 (PTP), TSN, AMBA AXI, PCI, PCI Express, discrete and analog.

Optionally, with PCI, PCI Express or AXI backend interface CetraC is able to interconnect to a large portfolio of processors within a very short Time To Market. With CetraC technology, your data can be translated and aggregated on the fly and by the hardware, which allows more power for your application running on the CPU.
By using our CetraC technology you get a safe and cyber secure link from your end user software application up to the network with the smaller footprint in the market.
