Front Panel Data Port

The front panel data port (FPDP) is a bus that provides high speed data transfer between two or more VMEbus boards at up to 160 Mbit/s with low latency. The FPDP bus uses a 32-bit parallel synchronous bus wired with an 80-conductor ribbon cable.
The following interface functions are supported:
The connector, denoted by the FPDP specification, is a KEL P/N 8825E-080-175.
Data frames.
The following types of data frames are supported:
Cable length.
FPDP interfaces work with up to a cable length of 1 meter when used in multi-drop configuration. They work up to 2 meter when using STROBE signal during point-to-point configuration. They work up to 5 meter when used with PSTROBE differential signal during point-to-point configuration.
