PA Interface Card
The PA interface card(s) connects the TCU, Predriver assembly, IPA (driver) and PA
backplane boards. The interface features 40 digital outputs/inputs and 24 analog
outputs/inputs. A fully populated cabinet will require two PA interface cards, one card
per eight PA modules. The PA interface card sends the ON/OFF commands to the PA
modules and receives fault information and status from them. Figure 4-6 shows how the
PA interface boards connect to the IPA (driver) and PA backplanes.

4.4.3.4.1 Predriver and IPA Drive A and B Busses
The Drive A and Drive B busses provide control and monitoring of the predriver and
IPA modules A and B. These busses run from connectors J3A and J3B of PA interface
