GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8428 is an 8-channel discrete-to-digital sensor
fabricated with Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology
designed to interface with a Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI).
Each input is individually configurable as either GND/Open
or Supply/Open (28V/Open). Discrete input thresholds and
hysteresis are compliant with Airbus ADB0100H
specification. In GND/Open mode, thresholds are set at
4.5V/10.5V, and in Supply/Open mode at 6V/12V.
The part operates from a 3.3V (+/- 5%) digital supply and
12V - 16.5V analog supply.
A 1mA wetting current is sourced from each SENSE input
when GND/Open mode is selected for that pin. The wetting
current serves to prevent dry relay or switch contacts.
All sense inputs are internally lightning protected to
RTCA/DO160G, Section 22 Level 3 Pin Injection Test
Waveform Set A(3 & 4), Set B (3 & 5A) and Set Z (3 & 5B)
without the use of any external components.
HI-8428 is a drop-in replacement for the DEI1282.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The HI-8428 is comprised of 8 sensors, which may be
individually configured for GND/Open or Supply/Open (also
known as 28V/Open) sensing. Eight bits of the on-chip
Configuration Register are used to set the sensor
configuration. A one in the Configuration Register selects
GND/Open and a zero selects Supply/Open mode. A ninth
bit in the Configuration Register is used to enable the chip’s
Built-In-Test (BIT) feature. The logical output from each
sensor is latched into an eight-bit Data Register on the
falling edge of the CS input.
Reading from and writing to the Configuration Register and
Data Register is accomplished using a serial interface
compatible with the industry-standard Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) bus.
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the HI-8428.

The eight-bit Data Register captures the output state from
the eight discrete sensors. Data is latched on the falling
edge of CS. The Data bits are read out from the chip over
the serial interface. Sensor 8 data bit is output first at SO
followed by the remaining seven sensor states. In either
mode (GND/Open or Supply/Open), a logic one is output
when the voltage at the sensor pin input is greater than
the high threshold and a logic zero is output when the
sensor voltage is lower than the low threshold, (see table
1).
Multiple HI-8428s may be daisy-chained together to allow
a single SPI read sequence to program configuration or
capture data from several ICs in one operation.
RESET AND INITIALIZATION
The HI-8428 includes an on-chip Power-On Reset (POR)
circuit, which forces the SENSE inputs to a high-impedance
state at power-up. Switches SW1 and SW2 (see Figure 1)
are open. The inputs remain high-impedance until the
Configuration Register is programmed, defining the
GND/Open (SW1 closed / SW2 open), or Supply/Open
(SW1 open / SW2 closed) for each sensor.
The HI-8428 registers are designed to retain programmed
logic states through VLOGIC power dips down to 1.5V
ensuring reliable operation in noisy environments without
the need to re-initialize the part.

GND/OPEN SENSING
For GND/Open sensing, the CRn bit is set to 1. Referring
to the Block Diagram, Figure 1, this selection will connect a
12kΩ pull-up resistance through a diode to VDD. This
resistance gives extra noise immunity for detecting the
open state while providing contact wetting current. An
open state is first registered when the SENSE input is
greater than 10.5V. The output of the sensor remains high
until a voltage of < 4.5V is detected at the SENSE input,
representing a valid Ground state, causing the sensor
output to go low. The Sensor will maintain a Ground detect
state until the SENSE input returns to >10.5V. The effect of
the two defined thresholds for Ground and Open
introduces 3 - 6V of hysteresis and provides for a high
degree of noise immunity.

Configuration Register data is loaded serially from the SPI
as described in the Serial Interface section below. The first
bit of the Configuration Register (CR9) enables built-in-self
test when set to a one. For normal sensing operation, CR9
should be zero. The next eight Configuration Register bits
(CR8-1) set the sensing mode for each sensor. If set to a
one, the sensor is GND/Open, and if programmed to a zero
the sensor is Supply/Open. Data is shifted into the
Configuration Register from the serial interface with bit CR9
first.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
WETTING CURRENT
In Ground/Open mode a current of approximately 1mA is
sourced from the SENSE pin when it is grounded and VDD is
powered at 12.0V. The wetting current serves to provide
current through switches or relay contacts to prevent dry
contacts and improve switch contact reliability.
BUILT-IN TEST
Writing a high in Control Register bit CR9 puts the HI-8428
into the Built-In Test (BIT) mode.
Referring to Figure 1, when in the test mode each of the
internal inputs to the sense comparators are set to either a
high or low. Since the input sense pin is isolated by a
680kΩ resistor, this test mode will not disturb the actual
status of the input pin.
When in BIT mode, setting CRn high for a particular sensor
forces the comparator inputs high. A zero in CRn forces the
comparator input low. To verify correct comparator
behavior, the user must read from the Data Register and
compare with the value written to CR1-8.
NOTE:
Certain flight applications require periodic sensor
testing during flight. To ensure seamless transition
between BIT mode and normal operation mode, the
following steps should be followed:
1) The host should read and record the Configuration
Register value for normal mode operation.
2) The host should read and record the last value of
the Data Register before enabling BIT mode
(CR9 = 1).
3) Following test completion,
but while still in BIT
mode
, the host should set the sensor outputs to
their pre-test values by writing bits CR8 - CR1 with
their corresponding Data Register pre-test values
recorded in step 2) above.
4) Normal operation (CR9 = 0) is restored by writing
the Configuration Register with its pre-test value
stored in step 1).
SUPPLY/OPEN SENSING
When programmed as Supply/Open sensors, CRn is set to a
logic 0. Referring to Figure 1, a switch in series with a diode
is closed to provide a pull down to ground of 30kΩ.
Supply/Open thresholds are set at >12V for the supply state
and <6V for the open state, providing 3 - 6V of hysteresis /
noise rejection.
WETTING CURRENT
For the Supply/Open case the wetting current into the sense
input is simply the current sunk by the effective 30kΩ to
GND. For V
SENSE
= 28V, I
WET
is 1ma. See Figure 2.
