The devices on the FOMD-ACV require several power supplies to operate. Some are provided externally through the edge card. Some are derived from the external supply using on-board power supplies.

I/O Triples

For each Altera FPGA I/O bank, there are three relevant power supplies. We call these three supplies an I/O Triple. These triples are set according to the I/O standard(s) required for I/O on the bank. Please refer to the extensive Altera documentation for more information on which settings are required for each standard.

  • VCCIO – The I/O supply and is set according to the I/O standard selected for the bank.
  • VCCPD – The pre-driver voltage for the bank. It is set according to:
    • If VCCIO = 3.3v, set VCCPD = 3.3v
    • If VCCIO = 3.0v, set VCCPD = 3.0v
    • If VCCIO ≤ 2.5v, set VCCPD = 2.5v
  • VREF – This is a reference voltage required for some standards. Note that this is not required for many of the supported I/O standards.

Bank Connections

Two I/O supplies are provided on the FOMD edge card, each with a corresponding I/O Triple. Several I/O banks on the FPGA are shared among a single I/O supply on the FOMD edge card.
