SATPAK-COMPACT-PCI-FORCE22
The SATPAK-Compact PCI-FORCE22 is a 3U form factor carrier board that is specifically tailored to accommodate the Trimble FORCE 22 GPS receiver module. The FORCE 22 is a military Precise Position Service (PPS) GPS receiver that provides 12 channel tracking, GRAM compliance, L1/L2, DS-102/DS-101 key loading, SAASM, 1PPS/10PPS/UTC/Time Mark, Have Quick interface, optional SINCGARS interface, PVT output, navigation capability, ICD-GPS-153 interface, Differential GPS interface, NMEA interface, Trimble Diagnostic interface, dual antenna input, external timing input, and 3 serial communication channels. The FORCE 22 utilizes three (3) independent serial interfaces. The RS-232 and RS-422 signal levels for the three serial interfaces are converted to TTL and then transmitted and received over the CompactPCI bus using a PLX9050 Bus Target Interface Chip and an industry standard PC16554 quad universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (QUART). The fourth unused port of the QUART can be dedicated to any user-defined function. Each of the serial interfaces appears as a COM port to the CompactPCI system controller. A front panel 50-pin connector is provided for DS-102/DS-101 key loading, SA-AS loading, Have Quick interface, Optional SINCGARS interface, Differential GPS interface, 1PPS/10PPS outputs and time maintenance power. Front panel SMA connectors are provided for an external timing input and main and auxiliary antenna inputs. The SATPAK-CompactPCI-FORCE22 measures 100mm x 160mm x 15.24mm when mated with the FORCE22. This concept allows the FORCE22 and the SATPAK-CompactPCI to occupy only one bus position.
