X Board Additional Information
X Board Additional Information
There are three X boards, the Left, Center and the Right
(As viewed from the rear of the set).
The three X boards have very little circuitry. They are basically signal
and voltage routing boards.
•
They route Va voltage to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
Va is introduced to the Left X board first, then the Left X sends
Va to the Center X and then the Center X sends Va to the Right X.
•
They route the Logic (Color) signals from the Control board
to all of the Taped Carrier Packages (TCPs).
•
The X boards have connectors to 16 TCPs, 5 on the left and right.
The Center X board has connections to 6 TCPs.
There are a total of 16 TCPs and each TCP has 2 gate arrays, so
there are a total of 32 buffers feeding the panel’s 4986 vertical
electrodes.
