The avionic system of an aircraft includes a set of avionic computers and a switch associated with each avionic computer. For each avionic computer of the set of avionic computers, the avionic system includes a communication link between the switch associated with this avionic computer and each of the switches associated with the other avionic computers. Each switch is configured such that it routes the data frames received on its input ports to its output ports in a manner predefined only on the basis of the input ports on which these data frames are received. The various switches are configured such that, when an avionic computer sends a data frame, this data frame is transmitted to all of the other avionic computers.

Avionic system of an aircraft

A synchronizing system including a generation unit for generating a synchronizing pulse from data of an independent clock, the synchronizing pulse being generated in a periodic manner, transmission links to transmit the synchronizing pulse to all the computation units, and in each of the computation units, a control element to compare the synchronizing pulse that has been received to a pulse generated by an internal clock of the computation unit and to detect a compliance or a lack of compliance, a scheduler of each of the computation units activating a sequence of partitions when the synchronizing pulse is received, and this only if the control element has detected a compliance. The synchronizing system is configured to synchronize the computation units in a reliable and accurate manner and to increase the operating safety of these computation units.
