GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HI-3210 from Holt Integrated Circuits is a single chip CMOS data management IC capable of managing, storing and forwarding avionics data messages between eight ARINC 429 receive channels and four ARINC 429 transmit channels.

The ARINC 429 buses may be operated independently, allowing a host CPU to send and receive data on multiple buses, or the HI-3210 can be programmed to automati cally re-format, re-label, re-packetize and re-transmit data from ARINC 429 receive buses to ARINC 429 transmit buses.

FEATURES

•Eight ARINC 429 Receive channels

•Four ARINC 429 Transmit channels

•32KB on chip user-configurable data storage memory

•Programmable received data filtering

•Programmable transmission schedulers for periodic ARINC 429 broadcasting

•SPI Host CPU interface

•Auto-initialization feature allows power-on configuration or independent operation without CPU
