ARINC 429, [1] the "Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System (DITS)," is the ARINC technical standard for the predominant avionics data bus used on most higher-end commercial and transport aircraft. [2] It defines the physical and electrical interfaces of a two-wire data bus and a data protocol to support an aircraft's avionics local area ...
For example, for a 64-bit bus partitioned into eight 8-bit subbuses the average number of transitions per time-slot will be 26.16 (8 times 3.27, the average for one 8-bit subbus) and the average number of transitions per bus-line per time-slot will be 0.41 (as for an 8-bit bus with one invert line).
Device interfaces where one bus transfers data via another will be limited to the throughput of the slowest interface, at best. For instance, SATA revision 3.0 ( 6 Gbit/s ) controllers on one PCI Express 2.0 ( 5 Gbit/s ) channel will be limited to the 5 Gbit/s rate and have to employ more channels to get around this problem.
ARINC 429 utilizes a unidirectional bus with a single transmitter and up to twenty receivers. A data word consists of 32 bits communicated over a twisted pair cable using the bipolar return-to-zero modulation. There are two speeds of transmission: high speed operates at 100 kbit/s and low speed operates at 12.5 kbit/s.
Typically a command byte is sent requesting a response in dual mode, after which the MOSI line becomes SIO0 (serial I/O 0) and carries even bits, while the MISO line becomes SIO1 and carries odd bits. Data is still transmitted most-significant bit first, but SIO1 carries bits 7, 5, 3 and 1 of each byte, while SIO0 carries bits 6, 4, 2 and 0.
Memory bus, a bus between the computer and the memory; PCI bus, a bus between motherboard and peripherals that uses the Peripheral Component Interconnect standard; USB (Universal Serial Bus), a standard communication protocol used by many portable devices, computer peripherals and storage media
A unidirectional data channel using standard input and output. Data written to the write-end of the pipe is buffered by the operating system until it is read from the read-end of the pipe. Two-way communication between processes can be achieved by using two pipes in opposite "directions". All POSIX systems, Windows Named pipe
In bi-directional data transfer buses, two opposing unidirectional strobes can be sent from each device. Often the strobe is free running in this case. That is, the strobe continues to toggle whether there is data being transferred or not. Another variation is the sharing of the same bus to transfer the strobe.
