Figure 2 is a block diagram showing each receiver’s logic.

ARINC 429 specifies the following timing for received data:

100K BPS ± 1%

12K -14.5K BPS

1.5 ± 0.5 µsec

10 ± 5 µsec

1.5 ± 0.5 µsec

10 ± 5 µsec

5 µsec ± 5%

34.5 - 41.7 µsec

The HI-8581 and HI-8589 accepts signals meeting these specifi-

cations and rejects 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.

HIGH SPEED

LOW SPEED

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:

83K BPS

10.4K BPS

125K BPS

15.6K BPS

DATA BIT RATE MIN

DATA BIT RATE MAX

HIGH SPEED

LOW SPEED

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.

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.

The parity bit is reset to indicate correct parity was received

and the resulting word is then written to the receive FIFO.

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.

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",

or

(or both) will go low. The

data flag for a receiver remains low until after

ARINC bytes

from that receiver are retrieved. This is accomplished by first acti-

vating

with SEL, the byte selector, low to retrieve the first byte

and then activating

with SEL high to retrieve the second byte.

retrieves data from receiver 1 and

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.
