Backward compatible with the firm's Mini-ACE Plus for legacy applications, the Enhanced Mini-ACE chips are available with additional functionality, including RT only and BC/RT/MT versions with 4Kwords of internal RAM and 64Kword internal RAM with RAM parity checking. Enhanced Mini-ACE units are packaged in 1 in.² ceramic flatpacks providing compatibility with the Mini-ACE. The devices come with 3.3V or 5V internal logic and 5V transceivers with options for MIL-STD-1553 bus, McAir, or MIL-STD-1760 compatibility. The Enhanced Mini-ACE's BC architecture includes an internal message sequence control processor, a general-purpose queue, and user-definable interrupts. The internal processor's 20-instruction set includes conditional operations based on results of messages or user-defined flags, along with jumps, subroutine calls, and timing control.
