The TPS7H1111-SEP is selected to generate the 1.5V rail from the 2V5_DDR rail (and 3V3_VCCO for the bias). The Versal Edge VCCAUX requires 0.7A and the VCCAUX_SMON and VCCAUX_PMC requires 0.3A. To provide margin, the LDO is designed for the maximum current of 1.5A.
The 2x100μF output capacitors used on the EVM are selected for this design. No additional ceramic decoupling capacitors are added at the output of the TPS7H1111-SEP. The VCCAUX_SMON rail is recommended to have an additional ferrite bead filter. After the ferrite bead, a single 100nF capacitor is placed to stay well within the recommended output filter of the TPS7H1111-SEP. With this filter and the high PSRR of the TPS7H1111-SEP, a low-noise SMON rail is created. The FB_PG resistors are sized so that the PG assert threshold occurs at 94.9% of VOUT. This threshold must be carefully selected to make sure that during start-up the TPS7H1111-SEP voltage ramps up within the maximum sequencing timing requirements of the Versal FPGA. Additionally, a 2.2μF CSS capacitor is selected instead of the typical 4.7μF capacitor to provide additional timing margin during start-up. The lower noise that is provided by the 4.7μF capacitor is determined to not be critical for the Versal FPGA.
Note that the output connector for 1V5 shows a maximum current of 1.5A and the 1V5_SMON connector shows a maximum current of 0.4A . If these connectors are loaded at the same time, it is important to make sure the connectors are not loaded at more than 1.5A combined.
Figure 3-21 shows the 1V5 schematic and Figure 3-22 shows the layout.
