PCI Add-on card for PCM Data Simulation

PCM SIMULATOR is used to simulate Satelite Telemetry in Ground Station. Telemetry data consists of Frames and SubFrames of data containing FrameIDs, FrameSyncPatterns, Time Stamps and actual Satelite data.

It is a PCI add-on card using a PLX PCI9054 IC to interface to PCI bus on one side and a local bus on the card. PCM code generator is developed using 2 high speed Cypress FIFO's and a Cypress Ultra37K CPLD. Time code reader was implemented using an Atmel 89C51 Microcontroller. Level shifting of the PCM code is achieved by using high speed Operational Amplifiers and other analog circuitry.

A Windows 98 Device Driver was developed for this card and an High end GUI based application is also developed on this using VC++.
