17 years agoIs it safe to use 1.22V for C3 Vccint?
I'm putting together an Ethernet board that is almost done - but there isn't enough room for a full set of switching power supplies. (I'm trying to keep the board under 13sq.in) I've settled on...

17 years ago --- Quote Start --- Although a C3 FPGA device doesn't draw more than 1A on Vccint after power-up, it is probably a good idea to design the Vccint rail up to 2-3A for in-rush current. --- Quote End --- There's no inrush current with C III devices. Since CII, VCCINT power-up current is guaranteed to be below the static idle current of the device. You can achieve VCCINT considerably above 1 A with designs that have very high system clocks and and a high register toogle rate. But this is unlikely to happen in typical designs.
