TRANSMITTER PARITY
TRANSMITTER
A block diagram of the transmitter section is shown in Figure 3.
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.
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.
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.
SELF TEST
If the BD05 control word bit is set low, 429DO or 429DO become
inputs to the receivers bypassing the interface circuitry. 429DO
and 429DO outputs remain active during self test.
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
5 Clocks
40 Clocks
LOW SPEED
80 Clocks
40 Clocks
40 Clocks
320 Clocks
SYSTEM OPERATION
The two receivers are independent of the transmitter. Therefore,
control of data exchanges are 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 readyflag, 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.
