GE DS200FCGDH1B Gate Distribution and Status Board

Functional Description

The Gate Distribution and Status Card (FCGD) is an interface board for a 6-pulse phase-controlled non-

reversing bridge. It receives SCR firing information from the DS200DSPC (DSPC – the VME processor)

board and returns feedback and diagnostic information via the VME backplane. The FCGD decodes and

distributes cell gating signals for each bridge leg and receives a multiplexed cell status signals from each

bridge leg. It also receives and scales bridge feedback signals then sends this voltage, frequency, and current

status information back to the DSPC board.

The FCGD board is 6U VME size (9.2x6.3 inches), with six layers and surface-mounted devices (SMDs) on

both sides. The FCGD mounts in the same VME rack that houses the Digital Signal Processing Card (DSPC).
