5. System Power
This chapter describes the Intel Stratix 10 GX FPGA development board's power
supply.
A laptop style DC power supply is provided with the development kit. Use only the
supplied power supply. The power supply has an auto sensing input voltage of 100 ~
240 V AC power and will output 12 V DC power at 20 A to the development board. The
12 V DC input power is then stepped down to various powr rails used by the board
components.
An on-board multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) measures both the
voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed
on a graphical user interface (GUI) that can graph power consumption versus time.
5.1. Power Guidelines
The Intel Stratix 10 GX FPGA development kit has two modes of operation as
described below.
In a standard PCIe compliant system
In this mode, plug the board into an available PCI Express slot and connect the
standard 2x4 and 2x3 auxiliary power cords available from the PC's ATX power supply
to the respective mating connectors on the board (J26 and J27). The PCIe slot
together with the two auxiliary PCIe power cords are required to power the entire
board. If you do not connect the 2x4 or 2x3 auxiliary power connections, it will
prevent the board from powering on. The power switch SW7 is ignored when the
board is used in the PCIe system.
