Quad SpaceFibre PCIe Interface Card
![]() |
The iSAFT Quad SpaceFibre Interface Card is an advanced PCIe interface, supporting SpaceFibre simulation. It is suitable for multiple applications in the space sector, including Data Front-Ends, EGSE/SCOEs. The card is based on an industry proven SpaceFibre codec, and it has been already validated in ESA representative SpaceFibre test benches.
The board is delivered with a practical SDK, and can be complemented with additional software modules allowing to save development / integration time. |
Main features & competitive advantages:
- Full height / Half length PCIe form factor board with multi-Gbps overall throughput
- Four single lane data ports (Type C connectors) supporting up to 16VCs total and link rates of 1, 1.25, 2, 2.5, 3.125 Gbps, according to ECSS-E-ST-50-11C DIR1
- SpFi Simulation / Emulation capabilities with built-in packet recording functions
- Asynchronous transmission & Traffic generation support
- Programmable transmission triggers per packet, selective tracing (filtering) support
- Real-Time Statistics per port / virtual channel (packet and SpFi characters statistics)
- Data reception and packet truncation support, Broadcast message transmission / reception, Data / BC reception timestamping, Statistics support for Tx/Rx packets, BCs and SpFi protocol characters
- SpFi physical link capturing and decoding of SpFi characters for debugging purposes
- Multiple loopback configurations (Physical Layer and parallel SerDes Near-End / Far-End loopback, Lane / Network layer loopback)
- IRIG-B002/006 generator / receiver with TTL / RS-422 electrical levels, with down to 8 nano-seconds accuracy / resolution, with IRIG signal regeneration capability in order to cascade multiple boards/systems
- Flight equipment protection according to the SpaceFibre standard
- Multi-board management, concurrent access
- C driver API (Windows / Linux)
- Seamless integration with EGSE software
