ARINC 429 IC Line Drivers & ARINC 429 Avionics Serial Bus
What is a line driver?
A Line Driver is an integrated circuit (IC) designed to drive a signal onto an ARINC 429 data bus.
Based on the ARINC 429 specification for serial communication, Device Engineering has developed a complete product line of Line Drivers that convert TTL or CMOS signals to differential RZ data on the ARINC 429 avionics serial bus. These devices will also interface similar RZ type buses including ARINC 571 and ARINC 575. Many of the line drivers also support differential NRZ type serial buses such as RS-422. Talk to an engineer today to learn more about our Line Drivers, including ARINC 429 Line Drivers and ARINC 429 Avionics Serial Bus.
Key functions include:
- Signal Conversion – Translates digital signals into differential RZ formats for ARINC 429 communication.
- Noise Immunity – Enhances signal integrity by minimizing electrical interference.
- Voltage Level Shifting – Ensures compatibility between various system voltage levels.

ARINC 429 Protocol Overview
The ARINC 429 data bus is the industry standard for digital communication in commercial and military aircraft. It utilizes a differential signaling method to ensure data accuracy and minimize signal degradation over long distances. ARINC 429 operates in simplex mode, meaning data is transmitted in a single direction from one system to multiple receivers.
Key ARINC 429 Features:
- High Noise Immunity – Reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) using differential transmission.
- Standardized Data Encoding – Uses return-to-zero (RZ) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoding methods.
- Error Checking – Includes parity bits to detect and correct transmission errors.
