Signal Routing
The PPDA I/O pack is mounted to either a JPDG or JPDS board. Additional boards can be connected using 50-pin ribbon
cable jumpers that are wired pin 1 to pin 1. Each board contributes one feedback group to PPDA. This connection passes
through up to five previous boards. In the following figure, feedback groups are displayed as bold lines and connectors P1 and
P2 of each board are displayed. From right to left, the JPDS board hosts the PPDA I/O pack and hookups are as follows:
•
Local feedback from JDPS is connected to signal group A
•
An additional board would use signal group E
