Table 6.10—MIL-STD-1553 Module Part Numbering
ARINC 708 modules are available with one receiver and one transmitter or two
receivers and two transmitters. ARINC 708 channels communicate on the air-
borne pulse Doppler weather radar display databus. Each channel can be inde-
pendently switched to operate on either of two buses. All channels can be
configured for variable bit length. Parametric versions of ARINC 708 modules
have variable transmit amplitude.
The ARINC 708 modules also contain Avionics Discrete I/O, see Section 4.5 for
more details.
6.5.1 Software-Selectable Bus Termination
Each databus on all OmniBus ARINC 708 modules has a 75-ohm termination re-
sistor that can be switched across the direct-coupled terminals under software
control. Though direct coupling is standard for ARINC 708, transformer coupling
may be used. When the bus is transformer coupled, the direct-coupled
termination resistance must be off, and external couplers and terminators are
required. See Appendix A for more information about bus termination and
transformer versus direct coupling.
6.5.2 Variable Bit Length
All OmniBus ARINC 708 modules can support messages with user-defined
number of bits. Variable bit length mode is software-selected at the channel level.
Special functions are provided in the BTIDriver API to read and write messages
with a bit count of 1 to 1865 (116 x 16). This allows ARINC 708 channels to be
used with other transfer protocols that vary from the standard (1600-bit word)
display databus.
6.5.3 Variable Transmit Amplitude
For OmniBus II ARINC 708 modules with parametric capability, the amplitude
of the transmitted databus signal can be varied under software control. Using
BTI708_ParamAmplitudeConfig, the OmniBus II has extended functionality
from the OmniBus Family. The configuration value, configval, now allows for
setting a high and a low range. The lower 12 bits of dacval represent the transmit
amplitude. The OmniBus II has a resolution of 8 bits, so the least significant 4
bits are “don’t cares.” The full-scale value of FF0h is the default setting.
