FPGA power supply system

Artix-7 FPGA power supplies are VCCINT, VCCBRAM, VCCAUX, VCCO, VMGTAVCC and VMGTAVTT. VCCINT is the FPGA core power supply pin, which needs to be connected to 1.0V; VCCBRAM is the power supply pin of FPGA block RAM, connect to 1.0V; VCCAUX is FPGA auxiliary power supply pin, connect 1.8V; VCCO is the voltage of each BANK of FPGA, including BANK0, BANK13~16, BANK34~35. On AC7200 FPGA core board, BANK34 and BANK35 need to be connected to DDR3, the voltage connection of BANK is 1.5V, and the voltage of other BANK is 3.3V. The VCCO of BANK15 and BANK16 is powered by the LDO, and can be changed by replacing the LDO chip. VMGTAVCC is the supply voltage of the FPGA internal GTP transceiver, connected to 1.0V; VMGTAVTT is the termination voltage of the GTP transceiver, connected to 1.2V.

The Artix-7 FPGA system requires that the power-up sequence be powered by VCCINT, then VCCBRAM, then VCCAUX, and finally VCCO. If VCCINT and VCCBRAM have the same voltage, they can be powered up at the same time. The order of power outages is reversed. The power-up sequence of the GTP transceiver is VCCINT, then VMGTAVCC, then VMGTAVTT. If VCCINT and VMGTAVCC have the same voltage, they can be powered up at the same time. The power-off sequence is just the opposite of the power-on sequence.

Figure 8-1 is the schematic part of the JTAG port, which involves TMS, TDI, TDO, TCK. , GND, +3.3V these six signals.ALINX-AC7200-2FGG484I-ARTIX-7-FPGA-Core-Board-FIG- \(15\)
  • The JTAG interface J1 on AC7200 FPGA core board uses a 6-pin 2.54mm pitch single-row test hole. If you need to use the JTAG connection to debug on the core board, you need to solder a 6-pin single-row pin header. Figure 8-2 shows the JTAG interface J1 on the AC7200 FPGA core board.

Part 9: Power Interface on the Core Board

In order to make the AC7200 FPGA core board work alone, the core board is reserved with the 2PIN power interface (J3). When the user supplies power to the core board through 2PIN power interface (J3), it cannot be powered through the carrier board. Otherwise, current conflict may occur.

Part 10: Board to Board Connectors

The core board has a total of four high-speed board to board connectors. The core board uses four 80-pin inter-board connectors to connect to the carrier board. The IO port of the FPGA is connected to the four connectors by differential routing. The pin spacing of the connectors is 0.5mm, insert to the board to board connectors on the carrier board for high-speed data communication.

It should be noted here that 15 pins of CON1 are connected to the IO port of BANK34, because the BANK34 connection is connected to DDR3. Therefore, the voltage standard of all IOs of this BANK34 is 1.5V.

Board to Board Connectors CON3

The 80-pin connector CON3 is used to extend the normal IO of the BANK15 and BANK16 of the FPGA. In addition, four JTAG signals are also connected to the carrier board via the CON3 connector. The voltage standards of BANK15 and BANK16 can be adjusted by an LDO chip. The default installed LDO is 3.3V. If you want to output other standard levels, you can replace it with a suitable LDO.

Board to Board Connectors CON4

The 80-Pin connector CON4 is used to extend the normal IO and GTP high-speed data and clock signals of the FPGA BANK16. The voltage standard of the IO port of BANK16 can be adjusted by an LDO chip. The default installed LDO is 3.3V. If the user wants to output other standard levels, it can be replaced by a suitable LDO. The high-speed data and clock signals of the GTP are strictly differential routed on the core board. The data lines are equal in length and kept at a certain interval to prevent signal interference.

Part 11: Power Supply

The AC7200 FPGA core board is powered by DC5V via carrier board, and it is powered by the J3 interface when it is used alone. Please be careful not to supply power by the J3 interface and the carrier board at the same time to avoid damage. The power supply design diagram on the board is shown in Figure 11-1

ALINX-AC7200-2FGG484I-ARTIX-7-FPGA-Core-Board-FIG- 19

The development board is powered by +5V and converted to +3.3V, +1.5V, +1.8V, +1.0V four-way power supply through four DC/DC power supply chip TLV62130RGT. The output current can be up to 3A per channel. VCCIO is generated by one LDOSPX3819M5-3-3. VCCIO mainly supplies power to BANK15 and BANK16 of FPGA. Users can change the IO of BANK15,16 to different voltage standards by replacing their LDO chip. 1.5V Generates the VTT and VREF voltages required by DDR3 via TI’s TPS51200. The 1.8V power supply MGTAVTT MGTAVCC for the GTP transceiver is generated by TI’s TPS74801 chip. The functions of each power distribution are shown in the following table:

Power Supply Function
+1.0V FPGA Core Voltage
+1.8V FPGA auxiliary voltage, TPS74801 power supply
+3.3V VCCIO of Bank0, Bank13 and Bank14 of FPGA, QSIP FLASH, Clock Crystal
+1.5V DDR3, Bank34 and Bank35 of FPGA
VREF,VTT(+0.75V) DDR3
MVCCIP(+3.3V) FPGA Bank15, Bank16
MGTAVTT(+1.2V) GTP Transceiver Bank216 of FPGA
MGTVCCAUX(+1.8V) GTP Transceiver Bank216 of FPGA

Because the power supply of Artix-7 FPGA has the power-on sequence requirement, in the circuit design, we have designed according to the power requirements of the chip, and the power-on is 1.0V->1.8V->(1.5 V, 3.3V, VCCIO) and 1.0V-> MGTAVCC -> MGTAVTT, the circuit design to ensure the normal operation of the chip.
