FPDP Overview
This section provides a brief discussion of Front Panel Data Port (FPDP). For more
information about FPDP, refer to
Front Panel Data Port Specifications, ANSI/VITA 17-
1998
or go to the VITA website at:

.
The SL100/SL240 cards
implement a serial version of FPDP on their link interface, which is standard VITA 17.1.
Most of the concepts from the parallel FPDP specification are applicable to the Serial
FPDP world, so they are described here.
Many real-time systems require high-speed, low-latency data transfers on a sustained
basis. However, the primary bus (for example, VME bus) cannot provide the required
bandwidth and latency at all times because of bus contention. The primary bus must also
handle other tasks such as system control. The FPDP bus provides a solution to this
problem. Using FPDP, two or more cards are connected by a simple, parallel, synchronous
interface using 80-conductor ribbon cable running across the cards’ front panels or
through a 1.0625 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps serial interface. For parallel FPDP, devices on the
FPDP bus must consist of one FPDP Transmit Master (FPDP-TM) and one FPDP Receive
Master (FPDP-RM). Multiple FPDP Receiver (FPDP-R) devices may also exist on the
bus. For Serial FPDP, there is one master for the bus (which acts as FPDP-TM and FPDP-
RM), and one or more receiver nodes. Since only one FPDP-TM can exist on the bus, no
bus contention between devices is possible. Figure 9-1 shows an example VME FPDP
card interconnection using parallel FPDP.
