GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8597 is a 3.3V single supply ARINC 429 line driver with built-in lightning protection. The internal lightning protection circuitry allows compliance with RTCA/DO- 160G, Section 22 Level 3 Pin Injection Test Waveform Set A (3 & 4), Set B (3 & 5A) and Set Z (3 & 5B) without the use of any external components, an industry first.
FEATURES
• Internal lightning protection circuitry allows
compliance with RTCA/DO-160G, Section 22
Level 3 Pin Injection Test Waveform Set A (3 &
4), Set B (3 & 5A) and Set Z (3 & 5B).
• Operates from a single +3.3V supply
