The HS-3282 is a high performance CMOS bus interface circuit that is intended to meet the requirements of ARINC Specification 429, and similar encoded, time multiplexed serial data protocols. This device is intended to be used with the HS-3182, a monolithic Dl bipolar differential line driver designed to meet the specifications of ARINC 429. The ARINC 429 bus interface circuit consists of two (2) receivers and a transmitter operating independently as shown in Figure 1. The two receivers operate at a frequency that is ten (10) times the receiver data rate, which can be the same or different from the transmitter data rate. Although the two receivers operate at the same frequency, they are functionally independent and each receives serial data asynchronously. The transmitter section of the ARINC bus interface circuit consists mainly of a First-In First-Out (FIFO) memory and timing circuit. The FIFO memory is used to hold up to eight (8) ARINC data words for transmission serially. The timing circuit is used to correctly separate each ARINC word as required by ARINC Specification 429. Even though ARINC Specification 429 specifies a 32-bit word, including parity, the HS-3282 can be programmed to also operate with a word length of 25 bits. The incoming receiver data word parity is checked, and a parity status is stored in the receiver latch and output on Pin BD08 during the 1st word. [A logic "0" indicates that an odd number of logic "1" s were received and stored; a logic "1" indicates that an even number of logic "1"s were received and stored]. In the transmitter the parity generator will generate either odd or even parity depending upon the status of PARCK control signal. A logic "0" on BD12 will cause odd parity to be used in the output data stream.
