Atomic IP Core

Great River Technology’s ARINC 818 IP Core is a simple way to implement ARINC 818-compliant interfaces in many popular FPGAs. The core combines with the FPGA’s high-speed serial tiles (e.g. GX or GT tiles) to realize ARINC 818 interfaces up to 10.0 Gbps. The IP Core can be used in different forms: transmit-only, receive-only or for both transmit and receive applications.
The core has many flexible parameters at compile time, allowing various link speeds, line segmentations and line synchronization methods. IP Core can be configured for different resolutions and pixel stacking methods. Auxiliary data transmitted can use default values (defined at compile time) or data can be updated in real time via the register interface.
ARINC 818 IP Core is delivered as encrypted VHDL. Great River Technology also offers an Airborne Atomic IP Core package including all the elements required for DO-254 certification.
Great River Technology currently offers the ARINC 818 IP Core for a wide range of Intel and Xilinx FPGAs.

ARINC 818 protocol

ARINC 818: Avionics digital video bus

The ARINC 818 video interface and protocol standard serves high-bandwidth, low-latency, uncompressed digital video transmission.

The standard has been advanced by ARINC and the aerospace community to meet the stringent needs of high-performance digital video. The protocol was adopted, prior to its official release, by major aerospace and military programs, and has become the de facto standard for high-performance military video systems.
