Model 470M Time Code Generator Translator and PCM Format Simulator Module
  • Provides both Time Code and programmable PCM Format Simulator/Encoder functions
  • Generates and Translates IRIG A, B,and G time codes
  • ‘Auto-Generate’ function assures fail-safe telemetry processing systems time code correlation
  • Simultaneous time code generation and translation
  • Provides programmable PCM Simulator for legacy Acroamatics Decom cards and products (without integrated PCM Simulator)
  • Generates all IRIG standard and randomized PCM codes at rates to 64 Mbps
  • Generates complex formats with dynamic data and subframes
  • Asynchronous frame insertion and format switching

The Model 470M is a mezzanine card that reads, translates, and generates IRIG A / B/ G and NASA-36 amplitude modulated time code signals. The 470M is capable of translating and generating all time codes over a range of 1/4th to 4x input rate speed multiples. The Model 470M operates in both reader and generator modes, provides “slow-code” output signals, and outputs a micro-second precision digital representation of time to companion Acroamatics telemetry processing cards via direct I Data Bus card-to-card interface.

The Model 470M provides ‘fail-safe’ IRIG time support in all modes by virtue of its automated “auto-generate” feature in the event of source IRIG time input drops or complete failure.

The Model 470M is configured as a companion to the Model 1612AP multi-function decom processing module, and within various other Acroamatics embedded system real-time telemetry data processing units.

 

TIME CODE GENERATOR/TRANSLATOR FUNCTIONS (Per Bit Sync)

OPERATION

 

Generator Mode
Program selectable: generates multiples of 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4 realtime.
Translate Mode
Time read from external source
Translate Carrier Mode
Internal timing clock derived from input carrier. Allows translation to continue as input carrier rate varies during playback of an analog recording
Translate Failsafe Mode
Internal timing clock phase-locked to input carrier. Allows translator to generate time if a time input dropout occurs. Time resolved to microsecs for all input code formats. Program selectable: translates at multiples of 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4 realtime.
Frame Bypass
Automatic frame bypass compares previous time frame to current time frame. Time accumulator is updated on agreement.
