ARINC 429 receivers do not need protection from overvoltage. ARINC 429 transmitters do need protection in applications where overvoltage is a concern. This pertains to all Condor ARINC products.
The document 'Lightning Protection' from Holt Integrated Circuits is an excellent reference for this sort of issue. It is available at www.holtic.com/appnotes.cfm. Look under the section for HI-8585. The following is a synopsis of that section:
HI-8585, HI-8586 Line Drivers Recommended protective measures are shown on the figure below. The devices are similar, except as follows:HI-8585 Incorporates built-in overvoltage protection diodes. Has internal 37.5 ohms resistors in each output line. HI-8586 No built-in overvoltage protection diodes. Has internal 10 ohm resistors in each output line.
