DD-03182 SERIES
ARINC 429 LINE DRIVER
DESCRIPTION
The DD-03182 device is a line driver
chip that transmits data on the serial
data bus in accordance with the
“ARINC Specification 429 Mark 33
Digital Information Transfer System”
(ARINC 429). This device can be used
with DDC’s DD-03296 discrete-to-digi-
tal device, in conjunction with the DD-
03282 transceiver chip or the DD-
00429 microprocessor interface.
The line driver receives TTL informa-
tion on the Data
A
/Data
B
input pins
and transmits it out on the A
OUT
/B
OUT
output pins. The output voltage level
is programmable via the V
REF
input
pin. The output pins are also protect-
ed against short circuits from aircraft
power. The slew rate of the DD-03182
can be programmed for either High
(100 kbit) or Low (12.5 kbit) speed via
two external timing capacitors con-
nected to the C
A
/C
B
input pins.

GENERAL
The ARINC 429 standard is widely used in the civil aerospace
market (commercial aircraft). ARINC 429 operates at either 12
to 14.5 or 100 kbits on a simplex bus. A simplex bus is one on
which there is only one transmitter but multiple receivers (up to a
maximum of 20 in the case of 429). If receipt of a message by a
given sink R(n) is required by the source T, a separate bus with
R(n) as the source and T as the sink is required. To those
designers who focus on military systems, a simplex bus may
seem cumbersome, but it can be readily certified for civil aircraft.
Communications on 429 buses use 32-bit words with odd parity.
The waveform is a bipolar return to zero with each bit lasting
either 70 or 83µs ±2.5 percent, or 10µs, ±2.5 percent, depend-
ing on whether the bus is low- or high-speed. A low-speed bus
is used for general purpose, low critical applications. A high-
speed bus is used for transmitting large quantities of data or
flight critical information.
ARINC 429 imposes relatively modest and readily achievable
performance demands on the hardware. FIGURE 2 is a general
schematic of a 429 bus. The transmitter output impedance
should be in the range of 75 to 85
Ω,
equally divided between the
two leads. The output voltage, V
o
, is 10 V and is generated by
imposing equal but opposite polarity voltages on the two leads.
The null voltage is 0.5 V. For the receiver, the input resistance
shall be greater than 12,000
Ω
and the input differential capaci-
tance and the capacitance to ground shall, in both cases, be less
than 50 pF. The 12,000
Ω
minimum input resistance ensures
that up to 20 receivers can be on the bus without overloading it
and minimizes receiver interaction under fault conditions. To pre-
clude continued receiver operation in a lead-to-ground fault con-
dition, 429 has established the range of acceptable receiver volt-
age levels to be +6.5 to +13.0 V and -6.5 to -13.0 V and null lev-
els from +2.5 to -2.5 V. Any signals falling outside of these lev-
els will be ignored. Also note that a lead-to-ground fault will pro-
duce a differential voltage swing up 5.5 V. FIGURE 4 shows the
waveforms required by 429 and permissible levels for transmitter
and receiver voltages.

Notes:
1. Both outputs can be shorted to ground or to each other, at +25°C ambient tem-
perature.
2. Both outputs are fused between 0.5 Amp DC and 1.0 Amp DC to prevent an
overvoltage fault from coupling onto the system power bus.

1. Supply current data is at 100% duty cycle. Load and chip power is calculated as 89% duty cycle (32 bits,/36 bits).
2. Data is not presented for 30,000 pF at 100 kbps. This is considered an unrealistic load for high-speed operation.
3. For 12 volt power supplies, multiply tabulated values of chip power by 0.8.

The DD-03182 line driver is designed to take data from a box and
place it on the data bus. The serial data is presented on DATA(A)
and DATA(B) inputs in a dual rail format. The driver is enabled by
the SYNC and CLOCK inputs. The output voltage level is pro-
grammed by the V
REF
input and is normally tied to +5 VDC along
with V
1
to produce output levels of +5V, 0V, and
-5 V on each output for 10 V differential outputs (see FIGURE 3).
The outputs are fused for fail-safe protection against shorts to
aircraft power. The output slew rate is controlled by external tim-
ing capacitors on C
A
and C
B
. Typical Values are 75 pF for
100 kHz data and 500 pF for 12.5 kHz data.
The cable used in 429 buses is a twisted, shielded pair of 20- to
26-gauge conductors. The shield is grounded at both ends of the
cable run and at all production breaks. Although there is no
specification placed on the cable impedance, it generally falls in
the range of 60 to 80
Ω.

, and are charged by ±200 µA (nominal). Slew rate (SR) is cal-
culated by:
SR = 200/C (V/µsec), where C is in pF (equation 1).
(0.4 V/µsec)(10) = 4.0 V
SR = 4/(Rise Time)
0.8 µsec = 4V/5 µsec
