Lineup of avionics display products at Quad A Summit 2019

“IEE’s products focus on supporting Open System Architecture (OSA) through a suite of communication interfaces and video processing capabilities,” commented Steve Motter, V.P. of Business Development for IEE. “This includes everything from traditional avionics busses, to ARINC 818, to Ethernet based video distribution architectures such as ARINC 661.”

OSA allows for interoperability through the use of standard interfaces. Implemented with controlled Linux OS releases and board support software, this family of CDU’s supports a wide range of Avionics architecture applications. Ease of installation is supported by standard dzus rail mounts and mil-spec I/O connectors.

The 4.3" Control Display Unit (CDU) can be used in a variety of applications for air or ground vehicles. Typical applications include control of radio communications and configuration of aircraft systems.

This smart display utilises an Intel Atom E3825 dual core processor, and operates under a wide range of lighting conditions from full dark (NVIS) to bright sunlight. The assembly consists of a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) with a 4.3" diagonal viewing screen and a QWVGA (480x272) pixel resolution. The rugged aluminum chassis is painted black with white nomenclature.

IEE will also feature a  3.5" Aircraft Control Display Unit (CDU) designed for helicopter avionics. Applied beyond typical radio and communications applications, this CDU provides a central data entry and status display for the Search and Rescue rotorcraft platform’s Personal Locator System (PLS).

The transflective display operates under a wide range of lighting conditions from full dark (NVIS) through bright sunlight. This smart display can control multiple devices and features an ARM 8 processor and interface built around four user defined bezel keys and two rotary selector knobs.

• 3.5" Transflective AMLCD, 320 x 240 (QVGA)
• Brightness: NVIS to 200cd/m2 (sunlight readable)
• Contrast Ratio: 400:1 (native)
• Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8 DaVinci DM3730 System on Module (800MHz)
• 256MB SDRAM, 512MB NAND Flash, 8GB SD Flash
• One 10/100 Ethernet, Three USB 2.0 ports
• Two RS-422 serial ports, Two programmable discrete interfaces
• Controls: five sealed push-buttons, one brightness knob, one dual-concentric knob

IEE is exhibiting on booth 908 at the Quad A Summit, 14-16th April 2019.
