AIT’s revolutionary new UXI hardware architecture

Flexible and Fast

All UXI devices provide a USB 3.2 Gen 1×1 interface capable of 5 Gbps data transfer with the host computer. Backwards compatibility to USB 2 is possible, supporting 480 Mbps connection speeds. The device is able to power up and support all functions with USB 3 Power Delivery (15 Watts) from a laptop or tablet computer, or from a USB charger. Additionally, all UXI devices provide a 1 Gbps Ethernet interface with PoE+ 802.3at. Ethernet power is able to power up and support all functions of the UXI, in the same way that the USB port is able. This means that all UXI devices have the following power and communication options:

• Power and communication from laptop via USB-C with PD
• Power from USB-C PD, and Communication from Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Power and communication from Ethernet with PoE
• Power from USB-C wall charger, and communication from Ethernet
• Power from Ethernet wall charger (TAA compliant PoE injector, supplied with each device), and communication from USB 2, or 3

Powerful Instrumentation

The UXI architecture is based on XiLinx Zynq Ultrascale+ with embedded processors. UXI’s come with enough power to develop advanced embedded software for at-the-edge computing. UXI hardware is able to instrument the avionics data with timestamps synchronized from the Ethernet port using IEEE1588 timing protocol. In many cases, avionics data can be programmed to transmit with time precision synchronized to the timestamping clock, allowing the device to work in a larger simulation environment with time synchronization.
