Renesas PMIC Reference Designs for Xilinx Artix-7

Renesas Power Management IC (PMIC) reference designs are easy to use turnkey solutions for powering the multiple supply rails of Xilinx Artix-7 FPGAs, Spartan-7 FPGAs, and Zynq-7000 SoCs, with and without DDR memory.  The reference designs speed the development of power supplies for a variety of industrial and computing applications, including motor control, machine vision cameras, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), home gateways and appliances, and portable medical and wireless equipment.

Key features

• Single Designs Supports Multiple Xilinx Speed Grades and DDR Memory Types
• Tested and Complete Solutions Ready to Copy/Paste into Customer Designs
• Smaller Inductors and Capacitors Reduce Solution Size
• Few External Components Reduce Overall Footprint

Additional features

• Single design supports multiple Xilinx speed grades and DDR memory types (DDR3, DDR3L, DDR4, LPDDR2, and LPDDR3) 
• Supports different output voltages through DVS control signals (pull-up/down resistors)
• PMIC Control Loops tuned specifically for Xilinx specifications
• Pre-programmed power sequence in PMIC so no external power supervisor IC is needed.
• 2 MHz switching frequency reduces inductor size.
• Fast load transient response reduces output capacitors.
• 5 V AC/DC adapter or DC power input
• Complete power validation hardware and software tools – I2C interface and Power Navigator (GUI)
• Design files and documents are available to minimize system design efforts

Applications
