A429 - PCI ARINC Interface Features: 8 - Highly Configurable Chan- nels with Concurrent and Independent Operation. Each Channel Selectable for: Transmit or Receive High or Low Speed Receive and/or Bus Monitoring • Transmitter The A429-PCI interface provides the user with 8 highly programmable ARINC channels over the PCI backplane. Each channel is software configurable for transmit or Advanced Bus Scheduling receive, high or low speed (12.5k or 100k bits per second) and ARINC 429 or 575 Transmission list Synchronization protocol requirements. Source lists may be transmitted by any channel. Sink data may Word Level Error Injection be filtered and received in a current value table, local monitor and/or global monitor buffers. The ARINC data word may be identified and sorted by either Label or Label/ • Receiver SDI. The onboard DSP controls the flexible data structures, triggers, interrupts, time Label/SDI Current Value Table stamping and data communications on the 429 bus. External triggers may be used for synchronization while the advanced interrupt technology allows realtime event handling 48 bit 1 μSec Time Stamp by the host processor. Error Detection As each 32 bit ARINC 429 data word is received, it is time stamped with a 48 bit, 1-μsec time • Bus Monitor tag. When the receive channel is placed in the monitor mode, the time stamped data is accompanied with a 16 bit status word which provides error information regarding each Filterable Sequential Buffer received word. When a channel setup as a transmitter, any number of label sequences may Link List Buffer Chains be sent on each channel and all transmit channels may be synchronized for simultaneous 48 bit 1 μSec Time Stamp transmission. Each ARINC word to be transmitted has an accompanying control word Error Detection used to implement various error injection capability. Words may be transmitted in sched- External Trigger Initiation uled and/or asynchronous priority methods. • Architecture Host Off-loading DSP Hardware Overview Large, Flexible Memory SBS A429 interfaces are based upon high speed DSP, programmable logic and dual port Label & SDI Operations RAM. This advanced design delivers a highly reliable hardware platform that is feature rich and user friendly. The 256k of dual port RAM allows the host system to access System Event Interrupts setup, receive, monitor, transmit and change data structures, at any time. Definable transmission and receive structures, including link list and buffer length sizes, allows • Software Support the user to design the data structure optimal for the specific application while maintain- No Cost Drivers & Libraries ing an easy to use environment.
