HI-3282
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (cont.)
The parity generator counts the ONES in the 31-bit word. If the 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.
TRANSMITTER
Ablock diagram of the transmitter section is shown in Figure 3.
FIFO OPERATION
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.
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:
DATATRANSMISSION
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 theARINC 429 format with the following timing:
1. The received data may be overwritten if not retrieved within
oneARINC word cycle.
2. The FIFO can store 8 words maximum and ignores attempts
to load addition data if full.
HIGH SPEED LOW SPEED
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.
The word counter detects when all loaded positions are
transmitted and sets the transmitter ready flag, TX/R, high.
MASTER RESET (MR)
TRANSMITTER PARITY
On a Master Reset data transmission and reception are immedi-
ately terminated, the transmit FIFO and receivers cleared as are
the transmit and receive flags. The Control Register is not affected
by a Master Reset.
Control register bit BD04 (PAREN) enables parity bit insertion into
transmitter data bit 32. Parity is always inserted if DBCEN is open
or high. If DBCEN is low, logic 0 on PAREN inserts data on bit 32,
and logic 1 on PAREN inserts parity on bit 32.
