Altera Cyclone III FPGA Power Management Reference Design
PMP2543
This product has been released to the market and is available for purchase. For some products, newer alternatives may be available.
See the Important Notice and Disclaimer covering reference designs and other TI resources.
Description
The Cyclone III power management design is a complete, non-isolated power solution and provides all 5 required rails for powering the FPGA. The design also includes complete power solutions for DDR Memory VTT and VDDQ rails and USB power. This design is optimized to power the Altera 3C25F324 starter kit.
Features
- Design supports 12V input voltage
- Uses one-chip DDR memory power IC to reduce parts count
Provides a complete low-cost discrete solution
- Higher efficiency than power solution found on 3C25F324 Starter Kit
- Existing starter kit catch diodes are overloaded
- Reference design has been built and tested
