HI-3210
ARINC 429 DATA MANAGEMENT ENGINE /
Octal Receiver / Quad Transmitter
August 2013
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
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 automatically re-format, re-label, re-packetize and re-transmit data
from ARINC 429 receive buses to ARINC 429 transmit
buses.
· 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
A 32K x 8 on-board memory allows received data to be
logically organized and automatically updated as new
ARINC 429 labels are received.
An auto-initialization feature allows configuration information to be up-loaded from an external EEPROM on reset to
facilitate rapid start-up or operation without a host CPU.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW
The HI-3210 is a flexible device for managing ARINC 429
communications and data storage in many avionics
applications. The device architecture centers around a
32K x 8 static RAM used for data storage, data filtering
tables and table-driven transmission schedulers. Once
configured, the device can operate autonomously without
a host CPU, negating the need for software development
or DO-178 certification. Configuration data may be
uploaded into the device from an external EEPROM,
following system reset.
The HI-3210 includes four independent ARINC 429
transmit channels. Transmission may be controlled
entirely by an external CPU, or autonomously by
programming one or more of the four on-chip ARINC 429
transmit schedulers. These allow periodic transmission
to occur without CPU. Source data for transmission may
be selected from RAM based tables of constants and / or
from the received channel data. Powerful options exist for
constructing ARINC 429 labels as well as controlling their
timing and conditional transmission.
The device supports up to eight ARINC 429 receive
channels. Received data is stored in on-chip RAM
organized by channel number and label. The data table
continually updates as new labels arrive. Programmable
interrupts and filters alert the host subsystem to labels of
interest.
Even when running under the control of schedulers, the
host CPU may insert new labels for transmission at will.
The following examples show five possible configurations
of how the HI-3210 may be used:
Each ARINC 429 receive channel also includes a 32
message deep FIFO allowing selected label data to be
queued for subsequent host access.

HI-3210 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Starting at memory address 0x8000, the HI-3210
contains a set of registers that are used to configure the
device.
The configuration registers are divided into three
categories, as follows;
1. HI-3210 global configuration
2. ARINC 429 Receive channel configuration
3. ARINC 429 Transmit channel configuration
The user needs only to program the HI-3210

HI-3210
ARINC 429 Received Data Management
The HI-3210 supports eight ARINC 429 receive buses
using on-chip receivers to handle the protocol validation.
The eight ARINC 429 RX Control Registers, ARXC0 - 7,
define the characteristics of each receive channel.
The ARINC 429 receive function of the HI-3210 is activated by setting the A429RX bit in the Master Control
Register.
When an ARINC 429 message is received by the HI-3210
on any bus, it is checked for protocol compliance. Messages with incorrect encoding are rejected.
The HI-3210 contains an 8K byte memory for storing
ARINC 429 received data. The memory is organized by
channel number and ARINC 429 label value. Four bytes of
memory are dedicated to each channel / label to store the
32-word ARINC 429 message.
A look-up table is used to enable an interrupt on receipt of a
new ARINC 429 message. Look-up table bit positions preloaded with a “1” will cause an Interrupt to be generated.
When a message is received that triggers an Interrupt, that
channel’s Interrupt bit is set in the ARINC 429 Receive
Pending Interrupt Register. If this bit is unmasked in the
ARINC 429 Receive Interrupt Mask Register, the AINT
output pin is asserted. The label number of the ARINC 429
message causing the interrupt is loaded into that channel’s ARINC 429 Receive Interrupt Address Register
(AIAR0 - AIAR7).
Because the ARINC Receive Memory is organized by
label value, it is not necessary to store the received label
value (first eight bits of the ARINC message) in the
memory. Instead, the first byte is used to store a status
byte.
The six active bits of the status byte are set to “1” when a
new ARINC word is stored in the memory. These bits flag
the ARINC word as new when the location is interrogated
by the host CPU or any of the four ARINC 429 transmit
schedulers.

HI-3210
ARINC 429 Received Data Log FIFO
A 1K x 8 block of memory located between 0x3000 and
0x33FF is reserved for a set of eight ARINC 429 received
data FIFOs. There is one FIFO for each ARINC 429
received data channel. Each FIFO can hold up to 32 ARINC
429 32-bit messages.
The FIFOs are empty following Reset. All three status
registers are cleared. When an ARINC 429 message is
written to a FIFO, its FIFO NOT EMPTY bit is set to a “1”.
When the FIFO contains more than the user-defined
number of messages as programmed in the ARINC FIFO
THRESHOLD VALUE register, its FIFO THRESHOLD bit is
set. If the FIFO is allowed to accumulate 32 messages, its
FIFO FULL bit is set. Once a FIFO is full, subsequent
messages continue to be written to the FIFO, and the oldest
message is lost.
A look-up table driven filter defines which ARINC 429
messages are stored in each FIFO. The look-up table is
pre-loaded with a “1” for each bit position corresponding to
a selected channel / label combination. The look-up table is
located at memory address 0x7A00.
The user may generate an Interrupt by enabling one of the
three FIFO status register bits to assert the FLAG bit in the
Pending Interrupt Register. ARINC 429 Control Register
bits 1:0 select the condition to trigger the FLAG interrupt.
When a new ARINC 429 message is received that meets
the programmed conditions for acceptance (Enable lookup table bit = “1”), it is written into the channel’s Receive
Data FIFO. The contents of the FIFO may be read by the
host CPU using dedicated FIFO read SPI Instructions.
The FIFO feature is particularly useful if the application
wishes to accumulate sequential ARINC 429 messages of
the same label value before reading them. The regular
ARINC 429 receive data memory will, of course, overwrite
messages of the same label value if a new message is
received before the host CPU extracts the data.
The status of each channel’s FIFOs is monitored by three
FIFO status registers: FIFO NOT EMPTY, FIFO
THRESHOLD, and FIFO FULL. One bit of each register
reflects the current status of each FIFO.

ARINC 429 Loop-back Self-Test
When in loop-back mode, incoming ARINC 429 messages
are ignored by the HI-3210. When running in loop-back
mode the ARINC 429 transmit pins may be disabled by
pulling the TXMSK input high. This prevents test messages
from being output to the external ARINC 429 transmit
buses.

The HI-3210 includes an ARINC 429 loop-back feature,
which allows users to exercise the ARINC 429 transmit and
receive channels for self-test purposes. The ARINC 429
Loop-Back register, ALOOP defines which receiver
channels are in loop-back mode. When a “1” is
programmed in the ALOOP bit position for a receiver, then
its ARINC 429 bus connection to the external pins is broken
and instead the input is connected to one of the four ARINC
429 transmit channels. Transmit channel 0 is connected to
receive channel 0 and 1, transmit channel 1 is connected to
receive channels 2 and 3, and so on.

HI-3200, HI-3201
ARINC 429 Bit ordering
ARINC 429 messages consist of a 32-bit sequence as
shown below. The first eight bits that appear on the ARINC
429 bus are the label byte. The next twenty three bits
comprise a data field which presents data in a variety of
formats defined in the ARINC 429 specification. The last bit
transmitted is an odd parity bit.
The ARINC 429 specifies the MSB of the label as ARINC bit
1. Conversely, the data field MSB is bit 31. So the bit
significance of the label byte and data fields are opposite.
The HI-3210 may be programmed to “flip” the bit ordering of
the label byte as soon as it is received and immediately prior
to transmission. This is accomplished by setting the AFLIP
bit to a “1” in the Master Control Register. Note that once the
label byte has been flipped, the HI-3210 handles the flipped
data byte “post-flip” for the purpose of label interrupt
matching, filtering and storage.
The HI-3210 stores the received message as four bytes.
The bytes are stored in memory in little-endian order. That
is to say, the label byte (or status byte) is stored at the
lowest memory address, the byte representing received
bits 9 through 16 is stored at the next address, the byte
representing bits 17 through 24 at the next address and the
byte representing bits 25 though 32 at the highest address.

ARINC 429 TRANSMIT OPERATION
The HI-3210 has four on-board ARINC 429 transmit channels which directly drive ARINC 429 differential line drivers
such as the Holt HI-8596. ARINC 429 words may be written to the transmitters either directly, using an SPI instruction,
or be generated automatically using the four ARINC 429 message schedulers.

ARINC 429 Transmit Scheduler
Each of the four ARINC 429 transmit channels has its
own transmit controller. The controller is userprogrammed to output ARINC labels in a predefined
order and repetition rate. A sequence of up to 256 ARINC
labels may be transmitted before repeating the sequence.
A descriptor table with up to 256 entries (descriptors) is
compiled by the user to define the sequence of ARINC
429 messages transmitted on each channel. When the
RUN/STOP bit in the ARINC TX Control Register is
asserted, the controller compiles the first 32-bit ARINC
word from the instructions given by the first descriptor
and then transmits it. A Transmit Sequence Pointer then
increments to the next descriptor in the table and the
process is repeated for Descriptor number 2.
ARINC 429 messages continue to be compiled and
transmitted until the last descriptor in the table. The end
of the table is marked by a special descriptor if not all 256
entries are needed. The Sequence Pointer is then reset
to zero.
The user is responsible for construction of the descriptor
table and for setting the Repetition Rate prior to asserting
RUN/STOP. Facilities exist for immediate cycle repetition
and for single-cycle operation.
The byte content of each ARINC 429 message
transmitted is user defined by the descriptor contents.
Data bytes may be sourced from the host CPU / autoinitialization EEPROM (immediate data) or from the
ARINC 429 receive memory (ARINC indexed). This
allows received ARINC data to be re-transmitted on
another bus with or without filtering, label byte reassignment or data modification. It also allows data from
multiple ARINC 429 receive buses to be re-packetized
into new ARINC 429 transmitted messages.
Conditional transmission control allows sequenced words
to be skipped if no new data is available.
Each ARINC 429 transmit channel is independently
configured with its own ARINC 429 TX Control Register,
ATXCR0-3, as previously described.
A Repetition Rate Counter is used to time the start of the
next transmission cycle.

The Repetition rate register value defines the time
interval between successive starts of the programmed
transmit sequence for each ARINC 429 transmit channel.
The value is set in binary, with the LSB representing 10
ms. Repetition rate time periods may therefore be set
from 0 ms to 2.55 seconds
If the repetition rate is shorter than the minimum time
needed to transmit all ARINC 429 words in the sequence
(but not zero), the transmit sequence will begin again
immediately if the Control Register SKIP bit is a zero. If
the SKIP bit is a one, the sequencer will wait until the
next rollover of the Repetition Rate Counter before
starting a new cycle.

When the Repetition Rate counter is programmed to zero

only. A zero - to - one transition of the RUN/STOP bit will
cause the transmit sequence to start. One-time execution
of the sequencer is useful when transmitting ARINC 429
words directly from the host CPU. One or more
immediate-mode descriptors can be written into the
sequence table, transmitted, and then refreshed for the
next cycle.

HI-3210
ARINC 429 Immediate Transmit Option
The Host CPU may instruct the HI-3210 to transmit an
ARINC 429 message immediately using a special SPI
command. The SPI command selects the transmit
channel and provides the four bytes of data to be sent as
a 32-bit ARINC 429 message.
If the transmit channel’s sequencer is not running (ATCR
bit RUN/STOP = “0”), or the sequencer is waiting for the
repetition rate counter to rollover, then the new ARINC
429 message is transmitted without delay.
If the transmit sequencer for the selected channel is
active, then the new message is transmitted as soon as
the current message has been sent. The sequencer then
resumes operation at the next location in the queue.
Both the RUN input and the Master Control Register
A429TX bit must be high to enable any ARINC 429
transmission.
Table 1 lists the host CPU SPI instruction format.
HOLT INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

HI-3210
RESET AND START-UP
OPERATION
After power-on, the HI-3210 is in an undefined state. The
RESET pin must be taken high to begin device
initialization. The RESET pin may be asserted at any
time. Taking RESET high immediately stops all execution
and sets the READY output low indicating that the part is
in the reset state.
On the falling edge of RESET, the HI-3210 samples the
state of the MODE2-0 input pins. This is the only
occasion these inputs are sampled. The state of the
MODE pins determines one of six possible initialization
sequences as shown in the following diagram. These six
initialization modes allow the user to customize the startup configuration of the device.
Once the initialization is complete, the device enters the
Idle State when the ready pin goes high. In Idle State, the
host CPU may communicate with the HI-3210 memory
and registers using the host CPU SPI link. When in the
Idle State, the HI-3210 does not transmit or receive any
messages on any of the ARINC 429 buses.
To begin data bus operation, the user must transition the
RUN input from a low to high state. Immediately following
the rising edge of RUN, the part enters the Active State
and bus message processing begins.
During initialization, various device configuration tasks
are performed according to the Mode selection set at the
MODE2:0 input pins. The available options are:
1. RAM Integrity Check
In Modes 2 and 3, the HI-3210 performs a RAM integrity
check. A read/write check is performed on the entire
RAM space. An incrementing pattern is written to
sequential RAM locations then this pattern is read and
verified. Each RAM location is re-written with the 1s
complement of its current contents then this pattern is
read and verified. The incrementing pattern followed by
its 1s complement ensures that each RAM location can
store both a 1 and 0 state. If the RAM integrity check
fails, the MINT pin is asserted and the Pending Interrupt
Register RAMFAIL bit is set. The part enters the “Safe”
state, in which the HI-3210 is able to accept and respond
to Host CPU SPI Instructions, but cannot enter Normal
Operating mode until the RESET input is taken high to
repeat the initialization sequence. The RAMFAIL Interrupt
is not maskable.
3. Initialize Registers and Clear all memory
In addition to clearing data memory (0x0000 to 0x33FF),
Modes 0, 1, 2, and 3 also clear all configuration and lookup tables (0x3400 to 0x7FFF) as well as setting all
registers (0x8000 to 0x807F) to their default states. All
registers default to zero unless otherwise noted.
4. Auto-Initialize from EEPROM
The contents of the Auto-Initialization EEPROM are
copied into the HI-3210 memory and registers via the
EEPROM SPI interface. The part verifies the integrity of
the data transfer from the EEPROM by running through a
byte-by-byte compare routine and a checksum validation.
If a compare error is detected, the AUTOERR bit is set in
the Pending Interrupt Register, the MINT output is
asserted, the location of the error is captured in the
AUTO-INIT FAIL ADDRESS registers 0x8073 (Auto-Init
Fail LS address) and 0x8074 (Auto-Init Fail MS address)
and the part enters the Safe state. If a checksum error is
detected, the CHKERR bit is set in the Pending Interrupt
Register, the MINT output is asserted and the part enters
the Safe state. The AUTOERR and the CHKERR
interrupts are not maskable.
Once initialization is complete, the part enters the Idle
state. The host CPU may read and write HI-3210 internal
memory and registers in all Modes. If not using the autoinitizarion feature, the host CPU should configure the
device at this time.
NOTE: Modes 6 and 7 are reserved and should not be
used.
2. Clear Data Memory
In Modes 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5, the HI-3210 automatically
clears all memory locations in the address range 0x0000
to 0x33FF. This is the space reserved for ARINC 429
message data. Configuration tables and HI-3210
registers are not affected.

INTERRUPT HANDLING
The HI-3210 includes a simple, user-selectable Interrupt
Handler. Two types of Interrupt are possible - Message
Event Driven (ARINC 429 Bus), and Fault Driven.
ARINC 429 Receive Interrupts
As described earlier, the user can elect to generate an
interrupt upon receipt of an ARINC 429 message on any
combination of the eight available channels and for any
of the possible 256 label byte (ARINC message bits 1-8)
values. Interrupts are enabled when the ARINC 429 Rx
Interrupt look-up bit is a “1”.
When a message arrives that is flagged to generate an
Interrupt, that channel’s bit is set in the ARINC 429
Receiver Pending Interrupt Register APIR. The ARINC
429 Interrupt Address Register (AIAR) for that channel is
updated with the ARINC 429 8-bit label value.
For example, if ARINC Receive channel 7 is enabled for
Interrupts when messages with ARINC label 0xD4 arrive,
then on receipt of such a message, APIR bit 7 is set to a
“1” and the value 0xD4 is written to AIAR7.
Fault Interrupts
There are four fault Interrupt bits in the PIR. Fault
Interrupts are not maskable, and their Interrupt Mask bits
are fixed at a “1”.
COPYERR is set when the HI-3210 detects a mismatch
between RAM and EEPROM after attempting to program
the Auto-initialization EEPROM.
AUTOERR is set when the Auto-Initialization EEPROM
read verification cycle detects a mismatch between the
on-chip memory and EEPROM following autoinitialization.
CHKERR is set when an auto-initialization checksum
error is detected.
The RAMFAIL bit is set if the Built-In Self Test sequence
fails.
If the corresponding bit in the ARINC 429 Receive
Interrupt Mask Register is a “1” the AINT interrupt output
will go high and stay high until the AACK input pin is
driven high. Driving AACK high, causes the AINT pin to
return to zero.
A special Indexed SPI read instruction is available to
allow the host to efficiently retrieve ARINC 429 messages
which have Interrupts Enabled (see SPI instruction set
section).
Note that if AACK is tied high permanently, the AINT pin
will go high for approximately 1 us before returning to
zero. A host CPU read of the APIR register reads the
current value and resets APIR to 0x00.

HI-3210
HOST SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
In the HI-3210, internal RAM and registers occupy a (32K +
128) x 8 address space. The lowest 32K addresses access
RAM locations and the remaining addresses access
registers. Timing is identical for register operations and
RAM operations via the serial peripheral interface, and
read and write operations have likewise identical timing.
SCK, and output data for each device changes on the
falling edge. These are known as SPI Mode 0 (CPHA = 0,
CPOL = 0) and SPI Mode 3 (CPHA = 1, CPOL = 1). Be sure
to set the host SPI logic for one of these modes.
As seen in Figure 1, the difference between SPI Modes 0
and 3 is the idle state for the SCK signal. There is no
configuration setting in the HI-3210 to select SPI Mode 0 or
Mode 3 because compatibility is automatic. Beyond this
point, the HI-3210 data sheet only shows the SPI Mode 0
SCK signal in timing diagrams.
Host access is only allowed when the part is READY or in
SAFE mode. NOTE: writes will be blocked and reads will
return the Master Status Register value until either of these
modes occur.
The SPI protocol transfers serial data as 8-bit bytes. Once
CS chip select is asserted, the next 8 rising edges on SCK
latch input data into the master and slave devices, starting
with each byte’s most-significant bit. The HI-3210 SPI can
be clocked at 20 MHz.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Basics
The HI-3210 uses an SPI synchronous serial interface for
host access to registers and RAM. Host serial
communication is enabled through the Chip Select (CS)
pin, and is accessed via a three-wire interface consisting of
Serial Data Input (SI) from the host, Serial Data Output
(SO) to the host and Serial Clock (SCK). All programming
cycles are completely self-timed, and no erase cycle is
required before write.
Multiple bytes may be transferred when the host holds CS
low after the first byte transferred, and continues to clock
SCK in multiples of 8 clocks. A rising edge on CS chip
select terminates the serial transfer and reinitializes the
HI-3210 SPI for the next transfer. If CS goes high before a
full byte is clocked by SCK, the incomplete byte clocked
into the device SI pin is discarded.
The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol specifies
master and slave operation; the HI-3210 Host CPU
interface operates as an SPI slave.
In the general case, both master and slave simultaneously
send and receive serial data (full duplex) as shown in
Figure 1 below. When the HI-3210 is sending data on SO
during read operations, activity on its SI input is ignored.
Figures 2 and 3 show actual behavior for the HI-3210 SO
output.
The SPI protocol defines two parameters, CPOL (clock
polarity) and CPHA (clock phase). The possible CPOLCPHA combinations define four possible "SPI Modes."
Without describing details of the SPI modes, the HI-3210
operates in the two modes where input data for each
device ( master and slave) is clocked on the rising edge of
SCK (SPI Mode 0)

HI-3210
HI-3210 SPI COMMANDS
For the HI-3210, each SPI read or write operation begins
with an 8-bit command byte transferred from the host to the
device after assertion of CS. Since HI-3210 command byte
reception is half-duplex, the host discards the dummy byte
it receives while serially transmitting the command byte.
Note: When the primary or fast-access address pointer is
used for auto-incrementing multi-word read/write and
reaches the top of the memory address range (0x7FFF), or
the top of the register address range (0xFFFF) attempts to
read further bytes will result the terminal address (0x7FFF
or 0xFFFF) being output again. The host should avoid this
situation.
Fast Access Commands for Registers 0-15
Two single-byte SPI commands use the current address
pointer value in MAP without first loading or otherwise
modifying it:
The SPI command set includes directly-addressed read
and write commands for registers 0 through 15 (Memory
Address 0x8000 to 0x800F). The 8-bit pattern for these
commands has the general form
0-W-R-R-R-R-0-0
where RRRR is the 4-bit register number, and W signifies
Write when 1, or Read when 0.
Figures 2 and 3 show read and write timing as it appears
for fast-access register operations. The command byte is
immediately followed by a data byte comprising the 8-bit
data word read or written. For a single register read or
write, CS is negated after the data byte is transferred.
Multiple register read or write cycles may be performed by
transferring more than one byte before CS is negated.
Multiple register access occur in address order starting
with the register specified in the SPI instruction.
Note: Register locations not shown in table 1 are
“reserved” and cannot be written using any SPI command.
Further, these register addresses will not provide
meaningful data in response to read commands.
RAM and Register Indirect Addressing
Refer to the HI-3210 SPI command set shown in Table 1.
SPI commands other than fast-access use an address
pointer to indicate the address for read or write
transactions. This sixteen-bit memory address pointer
(MAP) must be initialized before any non-fast-access read
or write operation. Two dedicated SPI instructions are
used to write and read the MAP. SPI Instruction 0x8C
followed by two data bytes is used to write MAP. SPI
instruction 0x88 reads two data bytes from MAP. The first
byte is the most significant eight bytes of the address. For
example, SPI sequence 0x8C, 0x12, 0x34 write the value
0x1234 into the MAP.
Two SPI instructions read and write data bytes to memory
or registers using the MAP as an address pointer. Single or
multi-byte reads and writes may be performed. MAP is
incremented after each byte access.
Two command bytes cannot be “chained”; CS must be
negated after the command, then reasserted for the
following Read or Write command.
Command
0x80
Read Operation
read location addressed by pointer value
Command
0x84
Write Operation
write location addressed by pointer value
Either of these commands can be used to read or write a
single location, or may be used when starting a multi-byte
read or write by using the pointer’s auto-increment feature.
Special Purpose Commands
Several other HI-3210 SPI commands load or otherwise
modify the memory address pointer before initiating a read
or write process. These commands are designed to allow
speedy access to messages received on the ARINC 429
buses.
Using a single-byte SPI command, the address pointer can
be directly loaded with the memory address for the last
received ARINC 429 message which triggered an
interrupt.
Op Code 110RRR00
The HI-3210 will retrieve the current ARINC Receive
Interrupt Vector for a given channel (RRR), calculate the
memory address for the first word of the corresponding
receive memory data block and write it to the Memory
Address pointer (MAP). Read the location addressed by
the new pointer value.
This command can be used to read just the most recent
ARINC 429 Receive Status Byte, or may be used to start a
four-byte read because memory pointer auto-increment
occurs after the Status Byte is read.
Op Code 111RRR00
The HI-3210 will retrieve the current ARINC Receive
Interrupt Vector for a given channel (RRR), calculate the
memory address for the first word of the corresponding
receive memory data block and write it to the Memory
Address Pointer (MAP). Output the value of the Receive
Interrupt Vector (ARINC 429 label byte).
This command can be used to read just the most recent
ARINC 429 label value received, or may be used to start a
four-byte read to output the entire four-byte ARINC

HI-3210
PROGRAMMING THE AUTO-INITIALIZATION EEPROM.
Following reset, the HI-3210 may be completely
configured by automatically copying the contents of an
external EEPROM into HI-3210 memory and registers. An
SPI enabled 64KByte EEPROM is used for this purpose.
The EEPROM memory space is mapped to the HI-3210 as
shown in the diagram below.
All configuration memory blocks are copied. The ARINC
429 Received Data Memory contents and ARINC 429
Receive log FIFO contents are not copied to or from the
EEPROM.
The HI-3210 can be used to program the Auto-Initialization
EEPROM. When the HI-3210 is in its IDLE state (RUN
input = “0”), a three step sequence must be performed to
begin the EEPROM programming cycle:
1. Write data value 0x5A to HI-3210 memory address
0x8FFF.
2. Write data value 0xA5 to HI-3210 memory address
0x8FFF.
3. Apply a positive pulse to the PROG input pin of at least
1ms.
If the three-step sequence is interrupted by any intervening
host activity between steps 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, or if the
PROG pulse is less than 1 ms, the programming cycle will
not start and the device remains in the IDLE state.
Taking the PROG pin low initiates the cycle. The READY
pin goes low, and the contents of the HI-3210 memory and
registers are copied to the EEPROM. When copying is
complete, the HI-3210 executes a byte-by-byte
comparison of the EEPROM and its own register / memory
contents. If the verification completes successfully, the
READY pin goes high.
A 2’s complement of the checksum is also written to the
EEPROM at location 0x807F. The total read back
checksum should be zero. The following locations are
excluded from the checksum because they are either readonly or unused locations: 0x8000 thru 0x800e, 0x8023 thru
0x802f, 0x8036 thru 0x805e, 0x8070 thru 0x807e.
If the comparison of the EEPROM contents and HI-3210
memory / register contents results in a discrepancy, the HI3210 enters the SAFE state, the PROGERR bit is set in the
Pending Error Register and the INT output is asserted.
The user must clear the PROGERR issue before normal
operation can resume.
