SpaceWire

Aeroflex SpaceWire

Aeroflex Colorado Springs and Aeroflex Gaisler’s SpaceWire family includes a SpaceWire Physical Layer Transceiver, Node Interface IP, 4-Port Router, FPGA-based SpaceWire Router solutions and evaluation boards.

NEW - a UT200SPW4RTR 4-Port Evaluation Board is now available.

SpaceWire is a standard governing serial communication between satellite components. Originally developed by the European Space Agency, SpaceWire marries IEEE-1355 with a LVDS physical layer.

Aeroflex also offers customers a complete SpaceWire solution - products and test equipment. Aeroflex and 4Links Limited have a test equipment distribution agreement
allowing Aeroflex to provide 4Links SpaceWire test equipment and support for North America.
