GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8282A is a silicon gate CMOS device for interfacing
the ARINC 429 serial data bus to a 16-bit parallel data bus.
Two receivers and an independent transmitter are
provided. The receiver input circuitry and logic are
designed to meet the ARINC 429 specifications for loading,
level detection, timing, and protocol. The transmitter
section provides the ARINC 429 communication protocol.
Additional interface circuitry such as the Holt HI-8585,
HI-8586 or HI-3182 is required to translate the 5 volt logic
outputs to ARINC 429 drive levels.
The 16-bit parallel data bus exchanges the 32-bit ARINC
data word in two steps when either loading the transmitter
or interrogating the receivers. The data bus interfaces with
CMOS and TTL.
Timing of all the circuitry begins with the master clock input,
CLK. For ARINC 429 applications, the master clock
frequency is 1 MHz.
Each independent receiver monitors the data stream with a
sampling rate 10 times the data rate. The sampling rate is
software selectable at either 1MHz or 125KHz. The results
of a parity check are available as the 32nd ARINC bit. The
HI-8282A examines the null and data timings and will reject
erroneous patterns. For example, with a 125 KHz clock
selection, the data frequency must be between 10.4 KHz
and 15.6 KHz.
The transmitter has a First In, First Out (FIFO) memory to
store 8 ARINC words for transmission. The data rate of the
transmitter is software selectable by dividing the master
clock, CLK, by either 10 or 80. The master clock is used to
set the timing of the ARINC transmission within the required
resolution.

The HI-8282A guarantees recognition of these levels with a common
mode Voltage with respect to GND less than ±5V for the worst case
condition (4.75V supply and 13v signal level).
Design tolerances guarantee detection of the above levels, so the
actual acceptance ranges are slightly larger. If the ARINC signal is
out of the actual acceptance ranges, including the nulls, the chip
rejects the data.

HI-8282A-10
The HI-8282A-10 option is similar to the HI-8282A with the exception
that it allows an external 10K to 15K ohm resistor to be added in
series with each ARINC input without affecting the ARINC input
thresholds. This option is especially useful in applications where
lightning protection circuitry is also required.
Each side of the ARINC bus must be connected through a 10K to 15K
ohm series resistor in order for the chip to detect the correct ARINC
levels. The typical 10 volt differential signal is translated and input to
a window comparator and latch. The comparator levels are set so
that with the external 10K to 15K ohm resistors, they are just below
the standard 6.5 V minimum ARINC data threshold and just above
the 2.5 V maximum ARINC null threshold.
The receivers of the HI-8282A-10, when used with external
15K ohm resistors, will withstand DO-160F, Level 3, waveforms 3,
4, 5A and 5B pin injection. No additional lightning protection circuit
is necessary.
Please refer to the Holt AN-300 Application Note for additional
information and recommendations on lightning protection of Holt
Line Drivers and Receivers.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
RECEIVER LOGIC OPERATION
Figure 2 is a block diagram showing each receiver’s logic.
BIT TIMING
ARINC 429 specifies the following timing for received data:
BIT RATE
PULSE RISE TIME
PULSE FALL TIME
PULSE WIDTH
HIGH SPEED
100K BPS ± 1%
1.5 ± 0.5 µsec
1.5 ± 0.5 µsec
5 µsec ± 5%
LOW SPEED
12K -14.5K BPS
10 ± 5 µsec
10 ± 5 µsec
34.5 - 41.7 µsec
4. The Word Gap timer samples the Null shift register every
10 input clocks (80 for low speed) after the last data bit of a
valid reception. If the Null is present, the Word Gap counter
is incremented. A count of 3 enables the next reception.
RECEIVER PARITY
The 32nd bit of received ARINC words stored in the receive FIFO
is used as a Parity Flag indicating whether good Odd parity is re-
ceived from the incoming ARINC word.
Odd Parity Received
The parity bit is reset to indicate correct parity was received
and the resulting word is then written to the receive FIFO.
Even Parity Received
The receiver sets the 32nd bit to a “1”, indicating a parity error
and the resulting word is then written to the receive FIFO.
Therefore, the 32nd bit retrieved from the receiver FIFO will al-
ways be a “0” when valid (odd parity) ARINC 429 words are re-
ceived.
The HI-8282A accepts signals meeting these specifications and re-
jects signals outside these tolerances using the method described
here:
1. The timing logic requires an accurate 1.0 MHz clock
source. Less than 0.1% error is recommended.
2. The sampling shift registers are 10 bits long and must
show three consecutive Ones, Zeros or Nulls to be consid-
ered valid data. To qualify data bits, One or Zero in the upper
bits of the sampling shift register must be followed by Null in
the lower bits within the data bit time. A word gap Null re-
quires three consecutive Nulls in both the upper and lower
bits of the sampling shift register. This guarantees the mini-
mum pulse width.
RETRIEVING DATA
Once 32 valid bits are recognized, the receiver logic generates an
End of Sequence (EOS). If the receiver decoder is enabled and
the 9th and 10th ARINC bits match the control word program bits
or if the receiver decoder is disabled, then EOS clocks the data
ready flag flip flop to a "1", D/R1 or D/R2 (or both) will go low. The
data flag for a receiver remains low until after both ARINC bytes
from that receiver are retrieved. This is accomplished by first acti-
vating EN with SEL, the byte selector, low to retrieve the first byte
and then activating EN with SEL high to retrieve the second byte.
EN1 retrieves data from receiver 1 and EN2 retrieves data from re-
ceiver 2.
If another ARINC word is received and a new EOS occurs before
the two bytes are retrieved, the data is overwritten by the new
word.
3. Each data bit must follow its predecessor by not less than
8 samples and not more than 12 samples. In this manner the
bit rate is checked. With exactly 1 MHz input clock frequency,
the acceptable data bit rates are as follows:
HIGH SPEED
DATA BIT RATE MIN
DATA BIT RATE MAX

125K BPS
LOW SPEED
10.4K BPS

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
TRANSMITTER
A block diagram of the transmitter section is shown in Figure 3.
BD12 control word bit is set low, the 32nd bit transmitted will
make parity odd. If the control bit is high, the parity is even.
SELF TEST
If the BD05 control word bit is set low, 429DO or 429DO are
internally connected to the receivers inputs, bypassing the
interface circuitry. Data to Receiver 1 is as transmitted and data to
Recevier 2 is the complement. 429DO and 429DO outputs remain
active during self test.
FIFO OPERATION
The FIFO is loaded sequentially by first pulsing PL1 to load byte 1
and then PL2 to load byte 2. The control logic automatically loads
the 31 bit word in the next available position of the FIFO. If TX/R,
the transmitter ready flag, is high (FIFO empty), then 8 words,
each 31 bits long, may be loaded. If TX/R is low, then only the
available positions may be loaded. If all 8 positions are full, the
FIFO ignores further attempts to load data.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The two receivers are independent of the transmitter. Therefore,
control of data exchanges is strictly at the option of the user. The
only restrictions are:
1. The received data may be overwritten if not retrieved
within one ARINC word cycle.
2. The FIFO can store 8 words maximum and ignores
attempts to load addition data if full.
3. Byte 1 of the transmitter data must be loaded first.
4. Either byte of the received data may be retrieved first.
Both bytes must be retrieved to clear the data ready flag.
5. After ENTX, transmission enable, goes high it cannot go
low until TX/R, transmitter ready flag, goes high. Otherwise,
one ARINC word is lost during transmission.
DATA TRANSMISSION
When ENTX goes high, enabling transmission, the FIFO
positions are incremented with the top register loading into the
data transmission shift register. Within 2.5 data clocks the first
data bit appears at either 429DO or 429DO. The 31 bits in the
data transmission shift register are presented sequentially to the
outputs in the ARINC 429 format with the following timing:
HIGH SPEED
10 Clocks

5 Clocks
40 Clocks
LOW SPEED
80 Clocks

40 Clocks
320 Clocks
ARINC DATA BIT TIME
DATA BIT TIME
NULL BIT TIME
WORD GAP TIME
The word counter detects when all loaded positions are trans-
mitted and sets the transmitter ready flag, TX/R, high.
MASTER RESET (MR)
Upon Master Reset, data transmission and reception are
immediately terminated, the transmit FIFO and receivers
cleared as are the transmit and receive flags. The Control Word
register is not affected by a Master Reset.
