USB to Avionics Interface Boards
Compact · Easy · Versatile
The Easiest Way to Add Avionics Interfaces to Your Embedded System
Ballard compact and rugged databus interface boards provide an easy USB alternative to traditional embedded card types, while delivering the benefits of small size and light weight.
These boards are the Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) for our popular USB interface products (both USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 models). Each USB model can be ordered without the enclosure so the board can be used in embedded applications. These compact and rugged units provide robust, low power interfaces for MIL-STD-1553, EBR 1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 717 and ARINC 708. The boards link these avionics databuses to widely-available USB ports, which supply all needed power.
Embedded PCBAs from Our Industry-Leading Avionics Interfaces
These lightweight and low-power avionics interface printed circuit boards are 'No Enclosure' versions of our portable USB adapter products. We introduced our game-changing Ballard USB interfaces over 10 years ago. Since that time, these reliable and proven peripheral interfaces have been deployed in countless commercial and military flight lines and avionics labs.
