PIN DESCRIPTIONS
DATA RDY
OUTPUT
Receiver data ready flag. A high level indicates data is available in the receive
buffer. Flag goes low when the first 16-bit byte is read.
D0 to D15
OUTPUT
16-bit parallel data bus (tri-state)
GND
POWER
0V
INPUT
Read strobe. A low level transfers receive buffer data to the data bus
PARITY ENB
INPUT
Parity Enable - A high level activates odd parity checking which replaces the
32nd ARINC bit with an error bit. Otherwise, the 32nd ARINC bit is unchanged
ERROR
OUTPUT
Error Flag. A high level indicates a bit count error (number of ARINC bits was
less than or greater than 32) and/or a parity error if parity detection was enabled
(PARITY ENB high)
RINA/RINA-10
INPUT
Positive direct ARINC serial data input
RINB/RINB-10
INPUT
Negative direct ARINC serial data input (both RINB and RINB-10 on HI-8686)
INPUT
Internal logic states are initialized with a low level
TESTA
INPUT
Used in conjunction with the TESTB input to bypass the built-in analog line
receiver circuitry
TESTB

GAPCLK
INPUT
Gap Clock. Determines the minimum time required between ARINC words for
detection. The minimum word gap time is between 16 and 17 clock cycles of
this signal.
