CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device)
Each PA (power amplifier) module contains a CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic
Device) device. The CPLD is not a microprocessor but is a pre-programmed discrete
logic device and therefore very stable and reliable. The CPLD’s in the PA modules are
responsible for reporting faults back the TCU and also for taking action when the ON/
STBY command is issued by the TCU.

Life Support Functions
Life Support functions are active when the main control system, controlled by the PCM
in the main TCU, is not functioning properly. Life support functions are controlled by
