INTRODUCTION The Holt ARINC Repeater Board contains the Holt HI-8470 and HI-8476 devices, these are ARINC 429 receiver and transmitter devices respectively. In this project they are combined together to produce an ARINC 429 repeater or regenerator. The board runs from a single 3.3V ± 5% supply voltage. The Repeater Evaluation Module requires no software for control;...
28VDC instead of a 3.3VDC supply. More details about the design of the repeater are available in the Holt ARINC repeater white paper. This guide summarizes how to get set up and running quickly.

ARINC 429 outputs, TXA and TXB for best results; use the scope in differential mode. Observe the ARINC 429 output waveform, it should be the test pattern, all 1’s and should look similar to the waveform shown below: QSG-8476-Repeater_A HOLT INTEGRATED CIRCUITS 10/25/18...

5. With the SW1 PARITY switch in default mode, the repeater will re-transmit all valid ARINC words whether the parity is odd or even. When set to ON, parity checking is enabled, so only odd parity words are retransmitted. QSG-8476-Repeater_A HOLT INTEGRATED CIRCUITS 10/25/18...
