Powering modern FPGAs isn’t just about voltage, it’s about precision, sequencing, and reliability ⚡
In this video, we break down five essential engineering insights for powering Microchip FPGAs and SoC FPGAs. From managing multiple power rails to simplifying your design with an integrated PMIC, you’ll learn how to improve system stability, reduce complexity, and accelerate bring-up.
💡 What you’ll learn:
• Why power quality directly impacts FPGA configuration and performance
• How multi-rail architectures (core, DDR, I/O) must be carefully managed
• The role of the MCP16701 PMIC in reducing discrete components
• Key features like integrated regulators, fault reporting, watchdog, and I²C control
• How to streamline your design workflow using the evaluation board and GUI
Whether you're working with PolarFire®, IGLOO®2, SmartFusion®2, or PIC64GX MPU platforms, this video gives you a practical foundation for building a robust and scalable power architecture.
