HI-8482
August 2006
ARINC 429 DUAL LINE RECEIVER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8482 bus interface unit is a silicon gate CMOS de-
vice designed as a dual differential line receiver in accor-
dance with the requirements of the ARINC 429 bus speci-
fication. The device translates incoming ARINC 429 sig-
nals to normal CMOS/TTL levels on each of its two inde-
pendent receive channels. The HI-8482 is also function-
ally equivalent to the Fairchild/Raytheon RM3183.
The self-test inputs force the outputs to either a ZERO,
ONE, or NULL state for system tests. While in self-test
mode, the ARINC inputs are ignored.
All the ARINC inputs have built-in hysteresis to reject
noise that may be present on the ARINC bus. Additional
input noise filtering can also be accomplished with exter-
nal capacitors.
The HI-8482 line receiver is one of several options of-
fered by Holt Integrated Circuits to interface to the ARINC
bus. The digital data processing for serial-to-parallel con-
version and clock recovery can be accomplished with the
HI-6010, HI-8683 or similar devices.
The HI-8482 is available in a variety of ceramic & plastic
packages including Small Outline (SOIC), J-Lead PLCC,
Cerquad, DIP & Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC).

HI-8482
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8482 contains two independent ARINC 429 receive
channels. The diagram in Figure 1 illustrates a typical HI-
8482 receive channel.
The differential ARINC signal input is converted to a positive
signal referenced to ground through level shifters and a
unity gain differential amplifier.
A positive differential input signal is converted to a positive
signal on the plus output of the differential amplifier. This
output is proportional in amplitude to the original input
signal. At the same time, the corresponding MINUS output
is pulled to GND. Likewise when a negative input signal is
present at the ARINC inputs, a positive signal is present on
the MINUS output and the PLUS output is pulled to GND.
The outputs of the differential amplifier are compared with
the ONE, ZERO and NULL threshold levels to produce the
appropriate logic level on the OUTA and OUTB outputs of
the device. The ARINC clock signal may be recovered
through a NOR function of OUTA and OUTB.
The test inputs logically disconnect the outputs of the
comparators from OUTA and OUTB and force the device
outputs to one of the three valid states (Figure 5). This
alleviates having to ground the ARINC inputs during test
mode operation.
ARINC LEVELS
The ARINC 429 specification requires the following
detection levels:
STATE
ONE
NULL
ZERO
DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE
+6.5V to +13V
+2.5V to -2.5V
-6.5V to -13V
The HI-8482 guarantees recognition of these levels with a
common mode voltage with respect to GND less than
±5V for the worst case condition.
NOISE
The input hysteresis is set to reject voltage level transi-
tions in the undefined region between the maximum
ZERO level and the minimum NULL level and the unde-
fined region between the maximum NULL level and the
minimum ONE level. Therefore, once a valid input
differential voltage threshold is detected, the outputs will
remain at a valid logic state until a new valid input voltage
is detected.
In addition to the hysteresis, the CAPA and CAPB pins
make it possible to add simple RC filters to the ARINC
inputs.

ground (GND) connection should be sturdy and isolated from large
switching currents to provide a quiet ground reference.
The HI-8482 can be used with HI-3182 or HI-8585 Line Drivers to
provide a complete analog ARINC 429 interface solution. A simple
application, which can be used in systems requiring a repeater
type circuit for long transmissions or for test interfaces, is given in
Figure 3. More HI-3182 or HI-8585 drivers may be added to test
multiple ARINC channels, as shown.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS
The standard connections for the HI-8482 are shown in Figure 2.
Decoupling of the supply should be done near the IC to avoid
propagation of noise spikes due to switching transients. The
