DESCRIPTION
The HI-8683 and HI-8684 are system components for
interfacing incoming ARINC 429 signals to 8-bit parallel
data using proven +5V analog/digital CMOS technology.
The HI-8683 is a digital device that requires an external
analog line receiver such as the HI-8482 or HI-8588
between the ARINC bus and the device inputs. The HI-8684
incorporates the digital logic and analog line receiver
circuitry in a single device.
The HI-8683 is also available as a second source to the
DLS-112 with the original 18 pin DIP and 28 pin PLCC
package pinouts.
The receivers on the HI-8684 connect directly to the ARINC
429 Bus and translate the incoming signals to normal CMOS
levels. Internal comparator levels are set just below the
standard 6.5 volt minimum data threshold and just above the
standard 2.5 volt maximum null threshold. The -10 version
of the HI-8684 allows the incorporation of an external 10K
W
resistance in series with each ARINC input for lightning
protection without affecting ARINC level detection.
Both products offer high speed 8-bit parallel bus interface, a
32-bit buffer, and error detection for word length and parity.
A reset pin is also provided for power-on initialization.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8683 and HI-8684 are serial to 8-bit parallel convert-
ers. The incoming data stream is serially shifted into an input
register, checked for errors, and then transferred in parallel to
a 32-bit receive buffer. The receive data can be accessed us-
ing four 8-bit parallel read operations while the next serial
data steam is being received.
RECEIVER INPUTS
Figure 1 is a block diagram of both the HI-8683 and HI-8684.
The difference between the two products is the HI-8684 has
a built-in line receiver whereas the HI-8683 is strictly a digital
device and requires an external ARINC line receiver such as
the Holt HI-8444, HI-8445, HI-8448 , HI-8482 or HI-8588 to in-
terface to the ARINC 429 bus.
HI-8684 Line Receiver
Internal 35K
W
resistors are in series with both the RINA and
RINB ARINC 429 inputs. They connect to level translators
whose resistance to GND is typically 10K
W
.
After level trans-
lation, the buffered inputs drive a differential amplifier. The
differential signal is compared to levels derived from a divider
between VCC and GND. The nominal settings correspond to
a One/Zero amplitude of 6.0V and a Null amplitude of 3.3V. A
valid ARINC One/Zero input sets a latch and a Null input re-
sets the latch.
Since any added external series resistance will affect the volt-
age translation, the HI-8684-10 is available with 25K
W
of the
35K
W
series resistance required for proper ARINC 429 level
detection. The remaining 10K
W
required that must be added
can be incorporated in other external circuitry such as light-
ning protection. Except for the different input series resis-
tance, the HI-8684 and HI-8684-10 are identical.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
PROTOCOL DETECTION
ARINC clock and data in the HI-8683 are derived from the
two streams of digital data at the INA and INB inputs and the
resulting One/Zero data is shifted into a 32-bit input register
as illustrated in Figure 3.
In the HI-8684, the One/Zero data shifted into the input reg-
ister is created from either the two digital outputs of the built-
in line receiver (Figure 3) or the TESTA and TESTB inputs
(Figure 4).
For ARINC 561 operation, the INA and INB data streams in-
puts must be derived from the ARINC 561 data, clock and
sync with external logic.
GAP DETECTION
The end of a data word is detected by an internal counter
that times out when a data One or Zero is not received for a
period equal to 16 cycles of the GAPCLK signal. The gap
detection time may vary between 16 and 17 cycles of the
GAPCLK signal since the incoming data and GAPCLK are
not usually synchronous inputs. The required frequency of
GAPCLK is a function of the mininum gap time specified for
the type of ARINC data being received. Table 1 indicates
typical frequencies that may be used for the various data
rates normally encountered.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
ERROR CHECKING
Once a word gap is detected, the data word in the input reg-
ister is transferred to the receive buffer and checked for er-
rors.
When parity detection is enabled (PARITY ENB high), the
received word is checked for odd parity. If there is a parity
error, the 32nd bit of the received data word is set high.
If parity checking is disabled (PARITY ENB low) the 32nd
bit of the data word is always the 32nd ARINC bit received.
The ERROR flag output is set high upon receipt of a word
gap and the number of bits received since the previous
word gap is less than or greater than 32. The ERROR flag
is reset low when the next valid ARINC word is written into
the receive buffer or when RESET is pulsed low.
READING RECEIVE BUFFER
When the data word is transferred to the receive buffer, the
DATA RDY pin goes high. The data word can then be read
in four 8-bit bytes by pulsing the READ input low as indi-
cated in Figure 5. The first read cycle resets DATA RDY
low and increments an internal counter to the next 8-bit
byte. The counter continues to increment on each read cy-
cle until all four bytes are read. The relationship between
each bit of an ARINC word received and each bit of the four
8-bit data bus bytes is specified in Figure 2.
When a new ARINC word is received it always overwrites
the receive buffer. If the first byte of the previous word has
not been read, then previous data is lost and the receive
buffer will contain the new ARINC word. However, if the
DATA RDY pin goes high between the reading of the first
and fourth bytes, the previous read bytes are no longer
valid because the unread bytes have been overwritten by
the new ARINC word. Also, the next read will be of the first
byte of the new ARINC word since the internal byte counter
is always reset to the first byte when new data is trans-
ferred to the receive buffer.
The built-in differential line receiver on the HI-8684 can be
disabled allowing the data and clock detection circuitry to
be driven directly with digital signals. The logical OR func-
tion of the TESTA and TESTB is defined in Truth Table 1.
The two inputs can be used for testing the receiver logic and
for inputting ARINC 429 type data derived from another
source / protocol. See Figure 4 for typical test input timing.
The device should always be initialized with RESET imme-
diately after entering the test mode to clear a partial word
that may have been received since the last word gap. Oth-
erwise, an ERROR condition may occur and the first 32
bits of data on the test inputs may not be properly re-
ceived.
Also, when entering the test mode, both TESTA and
TESTB should be set high and held in that state for at
least one word gap period (17 gap clocks) after RESET
goes high.
When exiting the test mode, both test inputs should be held
low and the device initialized with RESET.

A low on the RESET input sets a flip-flop which initializes
the internal logic. When RESET goes high, the internal
logic remains in the initialized state until the first word gap is
