ARINC-429
Aeronautical Radio INC (ARINC) is an organization composed of major airlines and airplane manufacturers, which promotes standardization within aircraft equipment. To facilitate this end ARINC puts out specifications describing communications busses as well as certain types of avionics systems. One of the more popular busses used in commercial aircraft today is the ARINC-429 bus.
ARINC-429 is a two wire differential bus, which can connect a single transmitter or source to one or more receivers or sinks. Two speeds are defined, 12.5 kHz and 100kHz. The ARINC specification defines not only the physical layer and electrical characteristics but the data format of data sent over the bus as well.
