Switch Mode Power Solutions


Posted on Jun 14, 2012

The core voltages for FPGAs are moving lower as a result of advances in the fabrication process. The newest FPGA family from Altera, the Stratix® II, now requires a core voltage of 1.2V and the Stratix, Stratix GX, HardCopy® Stratix and CycloneTM families require a core voltage of 1.5V. This article discusses how to power the core and I/O of low voltage FPGAs using the latest step-down switch mode controllers from Linear Technology Corporation.



The load and input voltage requirements for FPGA systems vary considerably. A single FPGA typically requires less than 2A, but for systems using multiple FPGAs, the load requirements can go to 10A or higher. Since power must be applied to the core and
