HI-6120 Parallel Bus Interface and
HI-6121 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
MIL-STD-1553 Remote Terminal ICs
June, 2012
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•ꢀ Fully integrated 3.3V Remote Terminal meets all
The HI-6120 and HI-6121 provide a complete, integrated,
3.3V MIL-STD-1553 Remote Terminal in a monolithic sili-
con gate CMOS device. Two host interface options are
offered: The HI-6120 uses a 16-bit parallel host bus inter-
face for access to registers and RAM and is offered in a
100-pinꢀplasticꢀquadꢀflatꢀpackꢀ(PQFP).ꢀTheꢀHI-6121ꢀhasꢀ
a 4-wire SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) host connection
andꢀcomesꢀinꢀaꢀreducedꢀpinꢀcountꢀ52-pinꢀPQFPꢀorꢀ9mmꢀ
xꢀ9mmꢀ64-pinꢀQFN.ꢀꢀBothꢀdevicesꢀhandleꢀallꢀaspectsꢀofꢀ
the MIL-STD-1553 protocol, including message encod-
ing, decoding, error detection, illegal command detection
andꢀdataꢀbuffering.ꢀHostꢀdataꢀmanagementꢀisꢀsimplifiedꢀ
by storing message information and data within the on-
chip 32K x 16 static RAM.
requirements for MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2
•ꢀ Four data buffer modes for subaddress transmit
and receive commands. Data buffer modes are
independently selectable for transmit and receive
commands on each subaddress
•ꢀ Simplifiedꢀmodeꢀcodeꢀcommandꢀhandling
•ꢀ Integral 16-bit Time-Tag counter has programma-
ble options for clock, interrupts and auto-synchro-
nization
•ꢀ Message information and time-tag words are
stored with message data words for all transacted
messages
•ꢀ In compliance with MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2, re-
ceived data from broadcast messages may be
optionally separated from non-broadcast received
data
A descriptor table in shared RAM provides fully program-
mable memory management. Multiple descriptor tables
can be implemented for fast context switching. Trans-
mit and receive commands can use any of four differ-
ent data buffer modes: indexed (single) buffering, ping-
pong (double) buffering or two circular buffer schemes.
Transmit and receive commands for each subaddress
may use different buffer modes. Mode code commands
employ a simple scheme for storing mode data and mes-
sage information with programmable interrupts.
•ꢀ Optional interrupt log buffer stores the most recent
16 interrupts to minimize host service duties
•ꢀ Optional illegal command detection uses internal
table
•ꢀ Optional automatic self-initialization at reset
•ꢀ ±8kV ESD Protection (HBM, all pins)
•ꢀ MIL-STD-1760 compliant
The device provides internal illegalization capability,
allowing any subset of subaddress, command T/R bit,
broadcast vs non-broadcast and word count (or mode
code)ꢀtoꢀbeꢀillegalized,ꢀresultingꢀinꢀaꢀtotalꢀofꢀ4,096ꢀpos-
sible combinations. The illegalization table resides in in-
ternal RAM. The RT can also operate without illegal com-
mand detection, providing “in form” responses to all valid
commands. Broadcast command recognition is optional.
PIN CONFIGURATION (TOP)
The HI-6120 and HI-6121 provide programmable inter-
rupts for automatic message handling, message status
and general status. A host interrupt history log maintains
information about the last 16 interrupts.

PQFP-52 Package
Internal dual-redundant transceivers provide direct
connection to bus isolation transformers. The device
is offered with industrial temperature range as well as
extended temperature range with optional burn-in. A
“RoHS compliant” lead-free option is also offered.
