  • Page 7: Applications

    1.4 Applications The FPTB is intended for use in the following situations: • nanoX/Express-BASE → FPTB → Customer’s cable to TTL display: This configuration provides LVDS-to-TTL conversion and backlight control when using an ADLINK reference carrier board with a TTL display. User must provide the cable connection from the FPTB's TTL output and backlight control connectors to the TTL panel inputs.
  • Page 8 • Customer carrier (with LVDS output) → Customer’s cable to FPTB → FPTB → Customer’s cable to TTL panel: This configuration provides LVDS-to-TTL conversion and backlight control when using a customer carrier board with a TTL display. User must provide the cable connections from the customer carrier board LVDS output to the FPTB's LVDS input connector and from the FPTB's TTL output and backlight control connectors to the TTL panel inputs.
