MIL-STD-1553 Tutorial

Mil Std 1553 Word Formats

MIL-STD-1553 is a military standard that defines mechanical, electrical, and operating characteristics of a serial data communication bus for the U.S. Department of Defense. This tutorial will be your guide to a comprehensive overview of this standard.

Learn more.


ARINC-429 Tutorial

ARINC-429 defines the standard requirements and protocols for the transportation of digital data between avionic systems in commercial aircraft. These standards are followed by equipment manufacturers, enabling the interchangeability of avionics equipment.

Synchro/Resolver Tutorial

UEI has compiled a guide to help you learn all there is to know about Synchros (a transducer that uses a transformer whose primary-to-secondary coupling may be altered by changing the relative orientation of the two winding) and Resolvers (a type of rotary electrical transformer used for measuring degrees of rotation).

Learn more.


LVDT/RVDT Tutorial

Learn all about LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformer that measures absolute linear displacement) and RVDTs (is a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer. It measures absolute rotary angle).

Learn more.


Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Tutorial

Using COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) hardware helps mitigate obsolescence issues. Learn more about the history of COTS hardware, its strengths and limitations, and how UEI COTS system solutions can help you save time, money, and best prepare your systems for the future.

Moving on from Obsolete VME

The market that current VME users are facing is centered around obsolete components and final time buys. Faced with “End of Life” (EOL) issues, designers are looking for alternative solutions to replace VME entirely.

Learn more.


UAV/UAS Data Acquisition and Control Solutions

With the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) comes new and complex data acquisition (DAQ) and control solution problems. This comprehensive overview provides information on UEI test bench, simulation of systems, and design verification/validation solutions for UAV/UAS applications.

Learn more.


Vertical Take Off and Landing Overview

Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) and Electric Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft are able to take flight and land without the need of a runway. These aircraft require customized DAQ and I/O solutions. Read how UEI can help with all e/VTOL and testing/verification needs.

Learn more.


Time-sensitive Networking Overview

Time Sensitive Networking is IEEE 802.1Q - a defined standard technology providing deterministic messaging on Ethernet. TSN safety-critical control networks accept inputs from sensors, perform control loop processing, initiate actions, and implement packet and link redundancy with varying levels of timing sensitivity and priority.
