INTRODUCTION
The
Holt
HI
‐
3593
ARINC
429
Evaluation
Board
can
be
used
to
evaluate
most
of
the
features
of
the
HI
‐
3593
ARINC
Dual
Receiver
and
Single
Transmitter
IC.
The
HI
‐
3593
features
an
on
‐
chip
DC
‐
DC
converter
which
generates
both
+5V
and
‐
5V
to
supply
the
bipolar
differential
voltage
levels
needed
to
meet
the
ARINC
429
Bus
levels
from
a
single
3.3V
supply
voltage.
The
main
board
“General
Purpose
SPI
Evaluation
Board”
includes
switches,
pushbutton
switches
and
LEDs
to
help
navigate
the
operating
modes
and
confirm
data
and
status
information.
A
Freescale
MC9S12XDT512
microcontroller
on
the
main
board
communicates
with
the
HI
‐
3593
through
the
SPI
interface.
A
Serial
UART
port
is
provided
which
enables
viewing
messages
and
status
information
or
entering
of
optional
commands
using
any
terminal
program
such
as
Hyper
‐
Terminal.
The
HI
‐
3593
Evaluation
Board
is
a
daughter
card
that
plugs
on
to
the
General
Purpose
SPI
board
via
two
26
pin
connectors.
This
Users

description
of
the
evaluation
board
and
demo
program
